Linden Financial Consultants

Linden Financial Consultants is an independent, fee-only financial planning and investment consulting firm located in the Town of Brighton, just outside Rochester, NY. Founded by Kitty Bressington, CFP® and CDFA® (Certified Divorce Financial Analyst), the firm operates on an advice-only, hourly compensation model. Bressington, who earned her CFP® certification from the CFP Board of Standards in 2005, established the practice after more than 20 years of experience in the financial planning field. The firm is a member of the Garrett Planning Network, a nationwide community of fee-only financial planners who provide hourly-based advice.

Linden Financial Consultants provides planning and advisory services on an hourly basis with no account minimums or asset-management fees. Their service areas include:

• Comprehensive financial planning
• Retirement planning
• College savings planning
• Investment advisory and second opinions
• Divorce financial planning (CDFA® specialty)
• Financial coaching and budgeting assistance

As fiduciary advisors, they are obligated to act in the client's interest rather than earn commissions from product sales. The hourly structure is designed to make professional financial guidance accessible to people who may not meet the asset thresholds required by traditional advisory firms.

The firm is known for its advice-only model, which separates financial planning from product sales entirely. Bressington is also the founder and director of the Foundation for Women's Financial Education, a nonprofit organization established in 2014 that offers monthly seminars, pro-bono financial planning for women in need, and sponsors an annual luncheon for women working in the Rochester-area financial services industry.

Linden Financial Consultants is situated at The Park at Allens Creek, a 12-acre suburban office campus in Brighton consisting of eight two-story professional buildings set among landscaped grounds. The office is at 150 Allens Creek, Suite 250, Rochester, NY 14618, near the Twelve Corners area along Monroe Avenue. The park-like setting offers free parking and is accessible from both Allens Creek Road and nearby East Avenue corridor routes.
