“Market volatility is temporary. Your goals, well-executed, could last beyond your lifetime.”

Since 1993, Marta Cappa has been working in the financial services industry to guide her clients with the necessary strategies to help them optimize their financial outcomes. In Marta’s view, being a Financial Advisor is like being an editor. She listens carefully and helps guide clients to wisely craft financial life stories that support their very personal goals.

Many of the clients of the practice are high-achieving people whose lives are consumed by their careers, families, hobbies, and community. Their financial lives are complex and may include the challenges of executive compensation, college planning, business ownership, estate investment planning, and finding ways to balance competing financial demands. With these complexities in mind, Marta maintains organization and discipline so clients don’t have to. Above all else, Marta has a desire to help clients see the positive possibilities for the future.

Marta loves working on an elite team of inspired, capable women. She is proud to be able to help women and the people they care about succeed financially. She and the team provide a full range of services for all client transitions, including marriage, the birth of children or grandchildren, college planning, retirement, and divorce.

The cornerstone of her practice is utilizing the Envision^® Planning Process. This structured process allows clients to focus on their most important financial goals. In order to deliver thoughtful advice and a higher level of expertise, Marta works in collaboration with other team members to integrate their many levels of knowledge and wisdom to best serve clients.

A child of aging parents, Marta brings added sensitivity and awareness for older clients and for those who may be caring for or concerned about their own aging parents.

A writer and artist away from the office, Marta has published two children’s books, and she frequently attends art and writing courses to improve her craft. With so many families experiencing daily stress, she’s happy to be able to provide sweet, happy stories for parents/ grandparents and their children/grandchildren.
