“We practice a compassionate brand of financial science. So we built a team around the needs of our clients. Our Unique Ability® — our yin/yang — is the pairing of our technical expertise on the one hand, with our relational capacity on the other. And it’s that combination of both, at equal strength, that our clients need.”
Beth has been empowering clients for the past 22 years to discover a greater purpose for their financial wealth and to pursue it with confidence. Her area of expertise is financial planning for life’s transitions especially divorce, retirement, and widowhood. These are complex financial situations and Beth enjoys holding the big picture for her clients while collaborating with their accountants, attorneys, and other members of their team.
Beth has a unique passion for divorce planning and for helping people at that difficult juncture. Her compassion for these clients led her to get a CDFA/Certified Divorce Financial Analyst designation, allowing her to assess their settlement sweet spot by analyzing short-term and long-term projections. Knowledge is power. And the strategic advice Beth offers clients based on her findings helps them feel confident negotiating and signing their agreements.
In her 12th year as a planner and manager, Beth founded Purposeful Wealth Advisors, a division of Keating & Associates. Though she’s based in Chicago, Beth works with clients across the US and around the world. When she’s not working, Beth is busy living the dream she and her husband hatched along with their three cherished children who throw a wrench into the plan every now and then. As they should!
