Keli Hazel, CPA, BFA
I am a Financial Planner, CPA, and BFA (Behavioral Financial Advisor) with a passion for helping people achieve their financial objectives by first understanding their values and goals. As a licensed Registered Representative and CPA, I bring a tax-efficient approach to my clients’ circumstances and help them create a secure future that is in alignment with their values. With my perspective as a Behavioral Financial Advisor, I help clients focus on value-based decision making and consider the impact of emotions on their choices and goals.
More about me: My values are Integrity, Faith, Family, Health, and Meaningful Work. I am a giver by nature and an educator at heart. I believe in providing my clients with full transparency and a dose of tough love when needed. My desire is to help couples navigate the chaotic waters of divorce and this life changing event with grace, dignity, and no regrets.
Would you like to discover how you can accomplish this while saving money and time during your divorce? I have worked with women, men, and couples as a financial neutral to assist them in accomplishing an amicable divorce and offer discovery meetings to see if we'd be a good fit to work together.
Although your life may be starting to look different than what you imagined, your financial security doesn’t have to. Change can be confusing and a bit scary since it brings in a level of uncertainty. How would you like to have a trusted partner that has been in a similar situation that can walk you through the process and help you gain the confidence you need for this next chapter of your life?
I believe I am that trusted partner with the tools and resources you need. Having gone through a divorce myself, my passion is to help, educate, and walk along this journey with you. Not only will I be with you as we create a plan suited to your goals, I also have a vast network of colleagues to help with all the steps along the way of your suddenly single journey. This includes taxes, refinancing your house, selling your house, health insurance, Medicare options, finding an attorney, and more. After your divorce process is complete, I offer financial planning options through Capitol Financial Solutions to continue to help you adapt to your new life and work towards your goals.
You can read about my journey through divorce in my book, Unforeseen Exit: When You Find Yourself Facing Divorce & Suddenly Single. Throughout the book are tips and tools to help you every step of the way, so you can pursue your best self personally and financially.
I am an active member of the Southern Crescent BNI Networking Group. I have served two three-year terms on the Advisory Board of the Haven House, a non-profit organization that helps victims of domestic violence. I am a member of DivorceTown and the Amicable Divorce Network. I am involved in various groups within my church, where I taught a single mom's life group for five years and regularly conducted financial education seminars. I love to travel and am always looking to explore different parts of the world. I also enjoy dancing and spending time with my friends, family, and three sons.
Please contact me with any questions you have. I look forward to meeting you!
