Kate Arndt, CFP® | CFP Certificate | Bedel Financial

As a Wealth Advisor, I cut out the noise of personal finances by turning goals into actionable, projection-based tasks. Whether it’s saving for retirement, funding a child’s education, purchasing a new home, or balancing competing priorities, I partner with clients to identify how much they need to save each year to make their dreams attainable.

My approach centers on simplicity and action. I translate complex financial concepts into practical guidance by prioritizing cash flow first. Once the strategy is automated, I leave no stone unturned in my client’s financial life. We explore all relevant topics spanning from life insurance needs to estate planning considerations to tax planning and beyond. By connecting the numbers to their goals and current situations, I aim to give clients peace of mind knowing their plan is both personalized and on track for the future.
