About Licata Financial Design
At Licata Financial Design, we know that every decision you make writes the story of your future. We help you design a life of impact, intention, and purpose—one choice, one plan, and one dream at a time.Creativity Grounded in Purpose
We chose the word design because we are helping clients align their finances with their vision and purpose.
True financial planning doesn’t simply react to the future; it intentionally shapes it. That's why we begin by listening. We seek to understand your boldest dreams, your quiet worries, and your aspirations for the people you love most.
Together, we build more than strategies. We create a living blueprint: one that adapts as life shifts, weaves in the nuances that make your story unique, and supports your ability to live with clarity, purpose, and intention.
Our role is to help you move beyond simply managing wealth to designing a life rich with meaning, momentum, and possibility.
Let's Start a Conversation
Whether you're preparing for retirement or planning your next bold move as a founder or business owner, Licata Financial Design is here to help you design your next chapter.

To make Wealthtender free for readers, we earn a nominal monthly fee from financial advisors and firms in exchange for marketing services (including being featured on this profile page), subject to terms of use. This compensation creates a natural conflict of interest when we favor their promotion over others. Wealthtender is not a client of these advisors or firms. Testimonials may not be representative of other clients’ experiences and do not guarantee future performance or success.
We Want Your Voice to be Heard
Wealthtender exists to help people discover trusted and authentic financial professionals and educators who may be a good fit based on their unique needs and circumstances.
Your honest reviews help people decide which financial professionals and educators may be best suited to their individual needs.
The majority of people trust reviews as much as personal recommendations, so what you write in your review should reflect your own opinion and experience.
Tips for Writing a Helpful Review
Be descriptive. Instead of just saying what you like or dislike, share why. What have you enjoyed most or least about your experience with the provider? Have they helped you overcome a difficult financial challenge or strengthened your knowledge about particular money matters? The more details, the better!
Be honest. Your rating and review should reflect your actual experience.
Stay relevant. Ensure your review is helpful to others by avoiding off-topic discussions or personal opinions not relevant to your direct experience.
Make your review easy to read. Reviews should be readable to others. Use proper grammar, avoid excessive capitalization or punctuation, and be sure to check your spelling.
Be yourself. Don’t post as, or pretend to be, someone else, and do not say you’re associated with a person or organization with which you are not.
Be nice. Don’t write abusive, hateful, threatening, or harassing content. Avoid personal threats, hate speech, obscenities, or inflammatory language.
Respect the privacy of others. Don’t post information that can be used to identify another individual or compromise their privacy.
Report abuse. Thank you for helping us ensure reviews on Wealthtender are helpful to everyone. If you suspect possible violations of our guidelines or believe a review is inappropriate, please email support@wealthtender.com with a link to the provider’s profile, indicating the review in question and the reason you believe it violates our guidelines.
