About Michael Tomren, MS, CFP®, AIF®, ChFC®

Hi, I'm Michael Tomren, Managing Partner and Financial Planner at Tomren & Sullivan Wealth Management.

Over a career spanning more than 29 years, I have worked to earn the credentials and training I believe my clients deserve. I hold the CFP®, AIF®, and ChFC® designations, a Master of Science in Advanced Financial Planning from Golden Gate University, and a Certificate in Client Psychology from The Wharton School. I am also a member of Ed Slott's Elite IRA Advisor Group℠ - a distinction held by fewer than 1% of financial advisors in the United States, reflecting my commitment to staying at the forefront of IRA and retirement tax planning. These are not just letters after a name - they represent a genuine commitment to being the most knowledgeable advisor I can be for the families who trust us with their financial lives.

As you might guess, my earliest memories of money helped shape my career choice. My father was a government employee, and my mother chose to leave the workforce to raise my three younger brothers and me. We were fortunate to grow up that way, and I’m grateful for the example my parents set.

When it came to finances, they knew how to stretch a paycheck and keep a busy household running. Between sports, school activities, doctor visits, and the occasional trip, they made it all work - something I appreciate even more as an adult. Through their example, my brothers and I learned to respect money: to set aside something for emergencies, to use some for enjoyment, and to save enough to build long-term independence. Those principles stuck with me, and from an early age I made a commitment to live by them.

In college, I initially pursued a degree in civil engineering, but along the way I found myself drawn more and more to financial planning - particularly the way it combines analytical rigor with deeply human relationships. I chose to pursue that path fully, and I have never looked back. I’m thankful for the circumstances that led me to that change in direction, because today -rather than building bridges and buildings - I get to help people create and maintain strong financial structures. In many ways, it’s not so different from engineering, and I’ve always valued that this work allows me to build relationships along the way.

On a personal level, I truly feel like the luckiest man on the planet, and I don’t take it for granted. One particularly lucky day, I stepped into an elevator and met a beautiful woman named Shawna. I had no idea that we would become best friends, get married, and build a life together. Years later, we’re blessed with three children - Jordyn, Ava, and Brannon - two grandchildren, and two spoiled Boston Terriers. In our spare time, we enjoy traveling, spending time at the beach, and supporting our kids in all of their activities.

And before you go, I want to simply say thank you.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my profile and learn more about Tomren & Sullivan Wealth Management. As you evaluate our services and areas of expertise, I hope you also get a sense of the people behind the firm. I’m honored to work alongside a team that cares deeply about our clients and brings their best each day - with kindness, ownership, positivity, and an unwavering commitment to putting clients first.

Some of our favorite moments are celebrating life’s milestones with the families we serve - retirements, graduations, weddings, and the meaningful moments that become lifelong memories. In the end, that’s what our firm is all about: helping you build the resources, freedom, and time to go out and make more memories with the people you care about most.

About Tomren & Sullivan Wealth Management

Tomren & Sullivan Wealth Management is a fiduciary financial planning firm based in San Ramon, California, providing retirement, tax, and IRA planning for pre-retirees and retirees throughout San Ramon and the East Bay.

Who We Serve

We work primarily with affluent Bay Area families navigating retirement timing, tax strategy, equity compensation, legacy planning, and major life transitions, typically clients approaching retirement or managing substantial assets. Many are transitioning out of careers at the region's leading tech companies, as well as longtime employees of major Bay Area utilities like AT&T, PG&E, and Chevron.

Our Process

We walk beside clients through our 7-Step Financial Planning Process, a consistent approach designed to help build confidence, create opportunity, and face the future with greater clarity and purpose. We begin by getting to know your goals and values, then organize the full picture of your financial life, build a plan tailored to you, coordinate implementation with your other professionals, and stay closely connected through ongoing reviews as your life and portfolio evolve.

Why Work With Us

Our mission is to provide competent and prudent financial advice while delivering expert service and valuable communication to our clients. We believe implementation isn't a one-time event; it's the start of an ongoing partnership built on communication and connection, and we aim for clarity about our role and how we're compensated from the very start.

I have been with Tomren Wealth Management since I retired almost 16 years ago, and am really pleased with the financial guidance and advice over the years. As important as the financial results are; what really has kept my confidence as the economy goes through the inevitable ups and downs is the relationship I've developed with the whole team. Whenever I call I get a live person who helps with whatever question or request I have. When people talk about missing good old-school customer service, That is sure what Michael Tomren and the whole team still provides.

5-Star Review for Michael Tomren⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐My husband and I have been clients of Michael Tomren and Tomren Wealth Management for the past 8 years, and working with Michael has been one of the best financial decisions we've ever made.We first met Michael shortly after retiring, when we were faced with important decisions about investing our savings and planning for retirement. From day one, Michael took the time to understand our goals, answer our questions, and guide us through the process with patience and expertise.Michael is a pleasure to work with. He is personable, easygoing, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable about the markets, investments, financial planning, and life in general. He has a unique ability to explain complex financial concepts in a way that is easy to understand and never intimidating.Over the years, his investment management skills and recommendations have consistently exceeded our expectations. Even through challenging market conditions, economic uncertainty, and the COVID years, Michael remained steady, thoughtful, and proactive. Today, we are in a very strong financial position, and we credit much of that success to his guidance, investment decisions, and long-term planning strategies.The entire team at Tomren Wealth Management deserves recognition as well. Their office in San Ramon is welcoming and professional, and the staff is always courteous, responsible, and responsive. Whenever we have a question or need assistance, someone always gets back to us promptly—usually the same day, and never later than the next business day.We meet with Michael quarterly, and he is always available whenever concerns or questions arise. He genuinely cares about his clients and takes a personal interest in helping them achieve their financial goals.Without hesitation, we would recommend Michael Tomren and Tomren Wealth Management to our family, friends, and anyone looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and highly skilled financial advisor. We are grateful for the relationship we've built over the years and look forward to many more.Thank you, Michael and team!Jeannette & Ed

I am the estate trustee for my Aunt. She had invested with Tomren Wealth for years. Most important, she was comfortable with Michael Tomren, and trusted him to invest her money. And he increased her wealth. As her trustee, Tomren Wealth has been VERY helpful, and especially Ashley Escamilla. When you call, they pick up the phone!!! And Ashley has helped resolve many issues, and explained what was legally needed in simple and clear terms. And then Ashley completes the processes very fast and efficiently. I would highly recommend Tomren Wealth and the entire team. They are a gem in today's society.

Working with Tomren Wealth Management for our financial planning needs has been one of the best decisions we’ve made for our family’s financial future. From the start, Brian Sullivan has taken the time to really understand our goals. We have worked with Brian for over 10 years and during this time we never have felt rushed or pressured on any decision. Brian explains every recommendation and can explain it in plain language. He will always make sure we understand both the benefits and risks and how it aligns with our short and long term goals. It feels like we have a partner who genuinely cares about our long-term success and keeps us on that track. Since working with Brian and the Tomren Wealth Management team we feel more confident about our finances and future.We would highly recommend Brian Sullivan and the full Tomren Wealth Management team to anyone looking for knowledgeable, trustworthy, and down-to-earth financial guidance.Corry & Nancy Guinn

I have been with Michael since 2011 (a year before I retired) and I am happy to report he under promised and over delivered for me in every way.Michael is extremely honest and will never put you in any investment you are not 100% comfortable with any risks it may entail. I have always done my own investing before meeting Michael and I was apprehensive about turning this over to someone else but I have never been happier and I know my finances are in good hands with Michael and his team.He and his team have gone above and beyond for me, making themselves available whenever I need them - once even on a Sunday when I left a voice mail that I had a time sensitive matter that I needed a call first thing Monday morning.Imagine my surprise to have Michael call me that Sunday to get me the information . (Not something I would make a habit of.)Michael is also very good at keeping you apprised of how your investments are doing and always keeping the lines of communication open.I really could not be in better hands financially than with Michael Tomren and his very experienced, professional team. If I had know all the perks of having a financial planner like Michael, I would have hired him a lot earlier.

My husband and I were initially referred to the Michael Tomren Financial Group well before I chose to retire. Then in 2020 during the early phases of Covid, I decided to give the Tomren Group a call. Michael guided me to make the best financial decision ever, to retire during this uncertain time.His company is extremely knowledgeable and professional. In my opinion, he always puts the client first regarding financial recommendations and decisions.Thank you to the Tomren Group in providing my family, a good nights sleep as well as peace of mind, knowing that our future is in very good hands.

My wife and I have been clients of Michael for almost 10 years. I can’t give enough credit to him and his team. All of the team are fantastic to deal with. They are competent, friendly, and always go the extra mile. They are fiduciaries and always have your best interests at heart. They always want you and your spouse to be completely comfortable with what they are doing. On top of that, our portfolio has done fantastic. Just meet with them and see how honest, and competent they are.

He takes the time to ask about family members and provides clear answers and advice.What sets Tomren Wealth Management apart from the rest is Michael’s dedication to educating his clients. Michael patiently explains financial matters in simple language that can be easily understood. Because of his teaching style, we were able to take a much more active role in managing our finances.The Tomren team is top notch. Every person in his office is efficient, friendly and competent.

We have been clients of Michael and the Tomren Wealth team since around 2010, and our experience has been consistently outstanding.Michael and his team made a sincere and honest effort to get to know us from the very beginning. Communication is open, frequent, and thoughtful, including regular quarterly in-person reviews that ensure we always understand where we stand and why. Finally, Michael’s office is administratively impeccable—everything is handled efficiently, accurately, and on time.What truly sets Michael apart is his commitment to education and his holistic approach to financial planning. He looks well beyond investment returns to consider every aspect of our financial well-being— retirement planning, tax planning, long-term health planning, wills and trusts, medical insurance, and Social Security decisions. He helps us see the big picture and make informed decisions with confidence.Michael fully respects that clients may come with prior advisors or different perspectives. His approach is consultative, patient, and centered on what’s best for us. We deeply value his guidance and highly recommend Michael and Tomren Wealth to anyone looking for a thoughtful, comprehensive financial advisor.- Cindy & Gary

Howdy Michael,I just wanted to thank you for having Veronika on your team. I recently spent some time with her on the phone discussing my RMD concerns for the 2025 tax season. She walked me through the process and helped me realize my calculations were based on the wrong year’s IRA figures. Her clarity and thoroughness completely put my mind at ease as we move into tax season with Tim, our CPA.Veronika is a true pleasure to work with — her sense of humor, patience, and deep understanding of the rules and regulations take the anxiety out of navigating the tax code. You’ve done an excellent job bringing her onto your team, and I wanted to share how much I value the experience of working with her.Take care,Mike Sinwald

If you are looking for a financial advisor you can trust and invest your money, look no further than Tomren Wealth Management. We've been with them now for over 20 years and always received excellent service. Michael Tomren's staff is a delight to deal with when we have any questions.When we moved to Oregon, we have continued to stay in contact even though we were in a different state now, using Zoom with our planned yearly reviews. However, this year we received a visit from Michael at our Oregon home, what a surprise that was! They really care about the success of our money investments and we are extremely satisfied with them.

Michael Tomren has been our family’s financial planner for more than 20 years, across multiple generations, and that long-standing relationship speaks volumes. He consistently provides prudent, well-reasoned financial advice paired with expert, thoughtful service. Michael is exceptionally well spoken, listens carefully, and communicates clearly, making even complex financial topics feel manageable and transparent. His guidance is always grounded in a genuine understanding of our long-term financial needs and goals.What truly distinguishes Michael is his fiduciary mindset and the sense that he sincerely cares about our financial well-being, not just outcomes on paper. His advice feels competent, ethical, and deeply personalized. Just as important, his team at Tomren Wealth Management is always available, approachable, and friendly, creating an environment of trust and ease.We value the consistency, care, and communication Michael and his team provide and recommend them without hesitation.

From my first conversation with Michael Tomren, I knew he was the right financial advisor. My father was also a wise investor , but he did it on his own- not something I was interested in doing when I was able to take an early retirement. Dad grilled Michael pretty thoroughly when the two of them met. Now, many years later, we look back on that initial meeting and laugh. In my advancing years, I’ve taken a more keen interest in my investments, but I'm still not a hands on type. I am grateful to know I can count on Michael.Plus, his staff is great-so personable, yet also knowledgeable, efficient and professional. I strongly recommend Tomren Wealth Management!

Michael and his team have enabled me to retire with the confidence I'm being taken care of; and can "leave the driving" of my stock and bond portfolio to him and his team. Look: we've just lost 21% in buying power with the inflation and all the reckless spending, Michael and his team still managed to grow my portfolio, all the while giving me an allowance to live better than when I was a working man. I would challenge anyone to give Mr. Tomren a chance. What do you have to lose except sound investments that are proven to work for all his clients.

There are not enough positive things to say about Tomren Wealth Management! They truly go above and beyond and have helped me this year not only with financial and retirement planning, but with real, thoughtful guidance you can genuinely trust. Michael Tomren and his associate Carlos Hernandez are knowledgeable, responsive, and truly care about your success. I could not be more confident about my financial future with their team.
