Darren Beck
Lead Financial Planner
Pathway Financial Advisors
Wealth is about much more than money. The journey toward your ideal future should be built on deeper insights into your vision of success. While our offices are located in South Burlington, VT, and Atlanta, GA, we serve clients all over the country.
I am Fee-Only
I do not accept commission, referral fees, or compensation of any kind based on selling financial products, without exception.
I am a Fiduciary
I will put your best interests first, and fully disclose and manage unavoidable conflicts fairly in your favor, at all times.
Things to Know
We walk you through a Guided Discovery Process that brings clarity to what matters most to you, including goals and significant life transitions related to your work, finances, family, and legacy.
We merge our insights from the discovery process with traditional financial planning so we can guide you towards your vision of a meaningful future.
We are intentionally structured as a fee-only, fiduciary, and independent financial firm. Our advisors are never paid a commission of any kind, and have a legal obligation to provide unbiased and trustworthy financial advice.
