Founder
Carolanne has been in the financial services industry for over 35 years and earned her CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® designation in 1999. During this time, she's been developing client-based solutions centered around the best interests of every individual and family she serves.

Before founding Prosperity Wealth Planning, she held several positions, including a financial planner and investment advisor representative at LPL Financial and a Senior Financial planner at Comerica Bank. For the past fifteen years, she has worked with associates and retirees from Toyota Motor North America, creating financial and investment strategies to help them achieve their future goals. In addition to being a member of the Financial Planning Association of Orange County, Carolanne served as a volunteer on the Board of Directors. Today, thanks to the wonders of modern technology, Carolanne is able to offer holistic financial planning services to the communities of Southern California, North Texas, and beyond through in-person and virtual meetings.
