Practical, Personalized, and Trustworthy Financial Planning

✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™
Sep 22, 2025
I first came to Igor at FAR Financial in my late 30s without much of a financial plan and only a very basic idea of how retirement savings worked. I knew I was behind, but I didn’t really understand how quickly money could be spent down in retirement or what it would take to build a solid foundation for the future. Over a series of one-on-one sessions, Igor walked me through a full audit of my income and expenses, even the unpredictable ones, and together we built a detailed plan that actually made sense for my situation. There was a moment when I realized that my old assumptions about retirement simply didn’t match my financial reality, and that was pretty tough to face. Igor was patient and supportive through that process. He laid out several retirement scenarios, explained the tradeoffs of each, and made sure I fully understood before moving forward. What stood out to me most was Igor’s personalized, client-first approach. He really took the time to understand my goals and challenges, and his knowledge of the financial market gave me confidence that I was in good hands. Thanks to his guidance, I now feel like I have a clear and realistic path forward. Overall, my experience working with Igor has been extremely positive, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to friends or anyone in Seattle who wants a financial planner that truly listens and tailors advice to their needs.

Truly Supportive and Knowledgeable Adviser

Working with Igor has been such a positive experience. My husband and I came in feeling unsure and honestly a little stressed about our finances, but he immediately put us at ease. Beyond just the numbers, Igor genuinely cares about helping us reach our goals: buying a home, saving for the future, planning investments, supporting our parents, and getting more organized - which was a huge priority for us. Every conversation feels supportive and encouraging, never rushed or pressured. Thanks to Igor’s guidance, we feel much more confident and in control of our financial future. I would highly recommend collaborating with Igor to anyone looking for trustworthy, knowledgeable, and approachable financial advice. He has turned something that once felt stressful into a process that is not only manageable but even exciting.

No more just ‘winging it’

✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™
Sep 13, 2025
Igor really makes things simple! He’s incredibly knowledgeable, explains everything clearly, and genuinely listens. He’s thoughtful and patient, and I always feel comfortable asking questions—no matter how basic they might seem. As a creative director and a parent of two, my days are long and intense, and I never really had the time or headspace to figure out how to plan ahead financially. But deep down, I knew I couldn’t keep coasting with just a checking account. Igor helped me break out of that mindset and start building real structure around my finances. I really enjoy working with him!

One of the Best Decisions We’ve Made

✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™
Sep 6, 2025
Working with Igor has been truly transformative for us. He took the time to really understand who we are and what we want, and helped us totally reframe the way we think about financial planning. Thanks to his understanding approach that builds our confidence instead of our insecurities, what once felt intimidating and stressful now feels approachable and even empowering. That foundation of trust and genuine care has made all the difference. From there, he’s helped us stay accountable by checking in, following up, and connecting us with helpful tools and people, so we keep moving forward. I’m incredibly grateful for Igor’s guidance and proud of the progress we’ve made with his support.

We have greatly enjoyed working with Igor Aronov. He's professional, knowledgeable, very thorough and attentive - and he knows how to listen to what is important to his clients. We have known him for years and know his high ethical standards, and how high he sets the bar when he does anything; so when he became a financial advisor, we were only too happy to sign up to be one of his first clients!
