How We Work

At the Collegiate Financial Advisor Network (CFAN), we are dedicated to helping collegiate athletics and higher education professionals connect with financial advisors who are comprehensive, independent, and knowledgeable about the unique opportunities and challenges of higher education retirement systems and providers.

​

Built on more than two decades of experience serving colleges, universities, athletic departments, coaches, and staff, faculty, administrators, CFAN was created to expand access to specialized financial guidance for communities across the country.

​

We recognize that higher education and collegiate athletics professionals face financial decisions unlike those found in many other professions. From retirement plans and employee benefits to career transitions and relocation, these individuals deserve advisors who understand their world and are committed to serving their long-term financial goals.

​

That is why every advisor within the Collegiate Financial Advisor Network is committed to an education-first approach built on relationships, trust, and personalized guidance. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all financial advice, our advisors focus on understanding each client’s goals, values, and unique circumstances before developing a comprehensive financial strategy.

​

Our advisors are supported through ongoing education, specialized resources, and an established framework developed through decades of experience serving the collegiate athletics and higher education communities. This allows them to spend more time building meaningful relationships and helping clients navigate life’s financial decisions with confidence.

​

At CFAN, we believe financial planning is about more than investments or retirement accounts. It’s about helping people make informed decisions, simplify financial complexity, and build a future aligned with their goals. Our mission is to ensure that collegiate athletics and higher education professionals have access to advisors who understand their careers, value their relationships, and are committed to serving them for years to come.
