Stacy Miller, CFP® MQFP® is the Founder and CEO of BayView Financial Planning and a military spouse to a retired U.S. Army officer. It is due to her own financial insecurities after years of unemployment and underemployment as a military spouse that she decided to learn everything she could about personal finance and investing.Stacy specializes in guiding and empowering women, widows, and military-connected families to invest in their own future financial security through the tides of life. Stacy is blazing a trail in the male-dominated financial services industry since only 6% of all financial advisors are female CFPs.

About BayView Financial Planning
At BayView Financial Planning, my mission is to guide and empower women, widows, and military connected families to invest in their own future financial security through the tides of life. I do not have a minimum asset requirement; I charge a flat hourly, project or subscription fee.HOW WE HELP
We offer financial planning and investment management for a flat fee. We think a flat fee is the simplest and most transparent way to pay for your financial planning and investment management. We offer monthly, project, or hourly rates, based on complexity.
WHO WE SERVE
Women
Women have so much to deal with every day and when a new financial responsibility lands on our shoulders, we often feel anxious because we don’t know what we don’t know. We’re sometimes too ashamed to ask for help because while we’re ROCKSTARS in our own area of expertise, financial matters can be overwhelming.
Not investing in your future financial security is the riskiest decision you can make. Let BayView Financial Planning help you make those tough financial decisions so you can feel confident, organized, smart, and powerful. Then you can focus on your career, family, and living your best life.
Widows and Surviving Spouses
Becoming a widow is an emotionally challenging experience that brings significant financial challenges and responsibilities, especially if you were not the financial manager in the relationship. The loss of a spouse can be overwhelming. The greatest relief comes from a sense of organization, and from knowing that you have an ally who has your best interest at heart.
At BayView Financial Planning, we like to take it a few steps further though. We are aiming for peace of mind and empowerment; to learn as much as you want to learn, to help you teach your children financial literacy, and to create a plan that will help your beneficiaries have a much easier transition.
Military-Connected Families
Financial advice for military service members, veterans, and their families is extremely important because they have special benefits and special circumstances which require special training and expertise.
BayView Financial Planning is a certified Military Spouse Owned Enterprise. We are here to guide you toward future financial success. It is more than our patriotic service. It is our fiduciary duty.

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.
