Brian Thompson Financial

Brian Thompson Financial is a Chicago-based, fee-only planning firm built for LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs who run mission-driven businesses. Founder Brian Thompson is a tax attorney and CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER who has spent his career helping members of the community turn hard-won income into lasting security. In 2018 the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors named him its Inspiring Leader for that work. The firm takes a proactive, whole-picture approach, weaving together financial planning, investment management, tax planning, and estate planning so that your business and personal life move forward together. There is no asset minimum, which means individuals and couples at every stage can get real guidance, not just the already-wealthy. Brian works with clients here in Chicago and across the country, focusing on the habits, systems, and planning techniques that reduce risk while opening up more freedom and opportunity. As a registered investment adviser in Illinois and New York, and a member of NAPFA, the XY Planning Network, and Pride Planners, the firm pairs technical depth with a genuine understanding of what queer entrepreneurs face. The goal is simple: the confidence, direction, and clarity you need to thrive.
