Windward Financial Strategies takes the mystery out of investing
J. Chris Andrews, the founder of Windward Financial Strategies, is not your typical financial advisor. His journey into the world of finance was spurred by a personal tragedy that highlighted the critical importance of personalized financial planning. Witnessing his father’s retirement dreams shatter due to the mismanagement of a large firm, Chris embarked on a mission to ensure others wouldn’t suffer a similar fate.
Over a decade ago, Chris delved into the intricacies of finance while working at a bank, driven by the desire to rescue his father’s dwindling retirement portfolio. The more he learned, the more he realized the power of tailored financial strategies. Armed with this knowledge, Windward Financial Strategies was born.
What sets Chris apart is his unwavering belief in the human touch. Drawing from his days as a bartender, he understands the significance of knowing his clients intimately. “Learning the little things about my customers helped me serve them better,” he reflects. This philosophy underpins his approach at Windward, where personal connections are the cornerstone of financial guidance.
At Windward, the goal is crystal clear: demystify the complexities of individual investing. Chris passionately advocates for financial transparency, ensuring that hardworking individuals, families, business owners, snowbirds, expats, and members of the LGBTQ+ community and their families have access to tailored solutions. His clientele reflects the rich tapestry of life, and he takes immense pride in understanding the unique needs of each group.
In 2022, Chris found his professional home at Cowork by RSD, a space that aligns with his vision. Its seamless support allows him to focus entirely on his clients, making the financial planning process smoother and more accessible. “I love this space,” he enthuses. “It provides a great place to meet clients and access top-quality IT services for assisting my clients remotely.”
Nautical themes permeate Chris’s descriptions of investment strategy, embodying his belief that Windward is for everyone. “A rising tide lifts all boats,” he declares. This simple yet profound principle underscores his commitment to guiding clients toward wealth, happiness, and enduring financial security.
For those seeking personalized, compassionate financial guidance, Chris invites them to schedule a complimentary, no-obligation consultation. Whether in person or virtually, he is dedicated to steering individuals on their unique paths toward financial prosperity. To connect with Chris, call (907) 764-8889 or email chris@windwardfs.com.
