About Amy Hamasaki, Founder
Amy Hamasaki, CFP®
Certified Financial Planner professional
Fee-Only Financial Planner & Advisor
20+ years experience
Amy grew up in the Santa Cruz mountains of California and graduated from UC Santa Cruz in 1997 with a bachelor's degree in Global Economics and spent a year abroad as a foreign exchange student in Germany.
As a child, she witnessed first-hand how finances can wreak havoc on a family. Both of her parents were self-employed and divorced early on due to money. As a result, she spent a considerable amount of time in the back offices of her grandmother's real estate office, helping her with her books. Although she was a top producer, not a day went by that she didn't stress over her tax situation. Ever since, Amy has been consumed with how to 'crack the code' so others can enjoy their life, their work, and their family.
​
With over 20 years working with individuals and businesses to create financial plans that work, she branched out on her own in 2020. She gained experience at a larger national wealth management firm (an SEC registered investment advisor.) She also has extensive experience in taxes as a former Enrolled Agent with the IRS and in controlling a Real Estate holding company for nearly 10 years.
​
Amy is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional and upholds the term fiduciary to its highest standard. She loves to volunteer in her community and currently serves as Vice President on the Board of Directors for Fraser Vally Hockey Association.

You can often find their family enjoying the slopes, snowshoeing, biking or throwing snowballs for their dog, "Cookie", to chase.
​
Both of their children are on the resort snowboarder cross-team, racing around the nation.
