About Nestor Vargas, CFP®, CEPA
Most people I meet already have a financial advisor.They just don’t have the right one.
They’re paying tens of thousands a year in percentage-based fees — and yet, they’re still the ones doing most of the thinking, the follow-up, and the worrying.
I built AlignPoint Wealth to fix that.
We help successful families simplify their finances, lower their fees, and build a plan that aligns with what truly matters — family, freedom, and purpose.
Our flat-fee model replaces the outdated “percentage of assets” structure you see at most firms.
That means:
No hidden costs
No growth penalty for doing well
No vague promises — just clear, proactive planning
We handle your investment management, tax strategy, retirement income, and coordination with your CPA and attorney — all for one transparent annual fee.
If you’re starting to wonder whether you’re overpaying for advice that doesn’t move the needle, it’s time to see the difference a flat-fee fiduciary can make.
You’ve worked too hard to have your money quietly chipped away by high fees.
Let’s make sure every dollar you’ve earned works as hard for you as you did to earn it.

HOW IS ALIGNPOINTWEALTH DIFFERENT?
We help successful families simplify their finances, reduce unnecessary fees, and retire with confidence. Every plan is built around what matters most to you — family, freedom, and purpose.
How AlignPoint Wealth Is Different
📍 Flat-Fee, Transparent Pricing
No more 1% fees eating into your retirement. We manage your investments and provide comprehensive financial planning — all for one clear annual flat fee. No surprises. No hidden costs.
📍 Comprehensive, Value-Driven Planning
We don’t just manage portfolios — we manage your entire financial life. From taxes and retirement income to insurance and legacy strategies, every detail is coordinated under one plan designed to help you retire early with confidence.
📍 Limited Clients, Unmatched Service
We intentionally work with a select number of families so every client gets proactive, white-glove service and ongoing accountability. You’ll never feel like a number.
📍 Fiduciary Commitment
As fiduciaries, we’re legally and ethically bound to act in your best interest — always. No product commissions, no sales quotas, no conflicts.
📍 Modern Tools. Real Clarity.
Our client technology gives you a clear view of your entire financial life — investments, taxes, cash flow, and progress toward your goals — all in one place. Simple, transparent, and accessible anytime.

Nestor has a positive personality. He has done well for us so far. He stays engaged with us and provides good quarterly review sessions. I would recommend him to others.

Financial Overwatch Meets Concierge Services
✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™
Feb 21, 2025
Nestor and his team have changed my life. Due to some health setbacks and other challenges, my financial picture wasn’t in a comfortable spot. I had missed a considerable chunk of time from work and had been drawing down my financial resources. But, after beating cancer (Victory!), my financial future was becoming a bit hazy. Would I be able to enjoy my later years comfortably? Would I have to work longer than I planned to?
Nestor casually asked me a question one day: “Has your advisor spoken to you about doing a Roth Conversion?” The answer was no. As a matter of fact, I hadn’t heard much from that advisor over the many months prior to his question. It was a simple question, but it made me wonder why I hadn’t been prompted by my then advisor to do something like that.
I was curious. Was Nestor’s view of financial planning and wealth management different from what I had previously experienced? One official meeting after that thought, gave me my answer. Absolutely.
His team will take a deep dive into everything that affects your estate and finances. Not intrusive. Just thorough. After, he will provide recommendations and suggestions. It is truly a concierge financial experience, unlike anything I have ever had. He has my trust, and he has my back. I feel like I have “financial overwatch” now! Many thanks to Nestor and his team at AlignPoint Wealth. I can’t recommend him enough!

Making Financial Planning Fun Since 2020
✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™
Feb 20, 2025
Maybe "fun" isn't quite the right word, but Nestor has been a pleasure to work with these past five years. He is professional, knowledgeable, candid, and empathetic. I do not like future planning and try to avoid the conversation at all costs. Prior to Nestor, we had someone who did not have a fiduciary responsibility to us and it showed. Nestor keeps us on track and truly listens to us. He gives guidance based on our comfort level and goals without pressure or ulterior motives. He is honest in his feedback and listens and empathizes with our current situation. He keeps us accountable, meeting with us throughout the year to make sure we are on track to meet our future goals. We are both self-employed, so having financial security for our children is very important to us. I truly appreciate his patience, integrity, and commitment to our financial well-being. We are now in a comfortable position for college, retirement, and beyond!

We brought Nestor into our lives last year to help us out with our family financial planning. We are still relatively new parents and lots of things changed once our kids were born. Nestor helped us identify what our priorities are, provided us a game plan and held us accountable in moving that plan forward.

Exceptional, Personalized Service
✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™
Feb 14, 2025
Prior to working with Nestor, we were saving here and there and letting old 401ks lay around. Nestor worked with us to devise a plan for our present and future. He is a great listener and was eager to find out what was important to us and our family. Discussing finances and budgets as a couple can be overwhelming. Nestor understood that, and he helped ease us into difficult conversations that we needed to have. Now we have a plan, and we feel more comfortable in our spending and saving. We enjoy our zoom calls with Nestor, and we have a better overall plan for our future. We would highly recommend him to anyone.

I cannot recommend Nestor enough for those looking for a financial advisor that is laser focused on what you, your family and/or your business want out of life. I’ve worked with other advisors who were very cookie cutter like in their approach. Nestor’s approach is personalized and focused on the client. He’s been life changing for our family!

He's reliable, trustworthy and transparent. He's also very responsive! Again, cannot say enough positive things about Nestor and his business!
