Matthew P. Krouse, CFP^®, AAMS^® Financial Advisor

Matt is dedicated to client success. He works to create judgment-free zones so people can express their dreams and explore possibilities that weren’t previously on their radar. His listening skills, empathy, and honesty help clients feel informed and in control as they partner together. Working closely with Matt, clients define life-enhancing goals, implement strategies for reaching those goals, and make adjustments when circumstances change. He combines his strong background in finance and economics with creative and critical thinking skills. Matt’s aim is to ensure that clients receive the best possible guidance for growing the wealth they need to live the life they want.

What’s most important to me is being a positive force for transforming people’s lives. Opal’s process, planning, and resources empower clients to stay focused on achieving their priorities.
