Shammas Financial Planning
Building Optimal & Holistic Retirement Plans
About
I specialize in retirement planning for both retirees and pre-retirees using best in class software, strategies and solutions.
As an independent & fee-only planner, I eliminate the incentive of commissions and the limitations from associating with brokerage firms and/or insurance companies.

Pete Shammas
I’m a CFP® who has helped over 10,000 clients with their retirement plans with nearly a decades worth of experience.
I left my previous firm and started Shammas Financial Planning to provide advice on what’s actually best rather than what’s best for some multi-trillion dollar corporation. See the “Why” section for the benefits of working with an independent and fee-only fiduciary.
I originally chose this career path after watching finances get in the way of relationships and the success of other important parts of life. So, my goal is to help you achieve financial independence and peace of mind.
Outside of work I enjoy exploring the great outdoors, watching sports and spending time with my friends and family.

Why ShammasFP
-
Fiduciary
I am obligated to act in the best interest of my clients per my CFP® certification and I don’t pollute this obligation with commissions, bonus’ or hidden disclosures.
-
Minimized Conflicts
I have two conflicts of interest: I offer ongoing financial planning services and I invest in some of the same investments that I recommend.
-
Written Plans
I believe everyone should have a financial plan that clearly outlines the role that every dollar plays, both now and in the future.
-
Integrated Tax Planning
Assets go the furthest when optimizing tax efficiency. While I don’t prepare taxes, I do include efficient tax strategies as a part of my recommendations.
-
Fee-Only
I don’t receive commissions, so there’s no incentive to sell specific investments or insurance products. The only remuneration I receive is from my clients.
-
Independent
I am not restricted to using any firms products because I have access to using everything that my clients can access.
-
Transparent
My legalese are short, clear and simple. Plus the advice and recommendations are delivered in writing.
-
National
I’m available to work with anyone in the United States.
