Brandie Farnam Knebel, CFP®

When I joined Learnvest in 2012 (as planner number 2!), I took a chance on a small start-up with a mission-based dream that has since come to fruition. We've successfully created our own patented technology that enabled us to make financial planning accessible and affordable. In 2015, we were acquired by Northwestern Mutual with the goal of redefining the American approach to personal finance together. As part of this phase, we've shifted our focus and leveraged our expertise to adapt the digital planning experience to better support NM’s established nationwide network of Financial Advisors. Doing so has allowed us to expand our reach and enable NM advisors to help millions of people by delivering simple, realistic, and achievable financial plans as part of a distinctive client experience. My Credentials: I have an Executive Certificate in Financial Planning from Fordham University and a Bachelor of Science degree in Business with a dual emphasis in Finance & Marketing from the University of Colorado at Boulder. I am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ with my Series 7, Series 65, and life & health licenses (previously held my Series 31 FINRA license and Long-term Care).
