About Me
Hi, I'm Michael Anderson. I grew up in Kansas City as the middle child of 6 kids. We never had a lot, and this ignited my interest in finance and financial planning. My first job was as a bank teller at age 15 (they were impressed that I wore a suit to the interview!).I started with Fidelity Investments in Salt Lake City while finishing my degree in Business Management. I worked as a trader, then later as a Relationship Manager, and finally an advisor for Fidelity Investments over 9 years before joining Woodson.
I became a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ in 2021 and joined Woodson to further use and expand my planning offering to people that are often underserved by the financial industry.
Today, I focus on early and mid-career professionals who need planning and advice in a world of shifting goals and values. Many people today have a different idea about career and retirement than previous generations. I seek to integrate rather than box my clients in to “conventional wisdom.”
Mental health is a big focus for my practice. I am uniquely positioned to help clients that struggle with financial decision making due to ADHD, anxiety, or other conditions. I am often praised by clients for empathy, understanding, and ability to teach complex concepts in a relatable way.
My personal life revolves around my 3 wonderful kids and my lovely wife, Erin. Together, we love writing and recording music, dancing, and reading!

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.
