About Neil Krishnaswamy

At Krishna Wealth Planning, I work mostly with technology and medical professionals, many of whom are nearing retirement and want to know if they can be financially independent. As a former tech professional, I bring a unique process-based approach to managing the complexity of their lives. I opened Krishna Wealth Planning in 2019 to help my clients achieve a delicate balance between living an abundant life now and building a secure foundation for the future.

My clients receive a custom-designed investment portfolio based on empirical research and sound principles. I also ensure their investments are carefully integrated into their financial and retirement income plans. Additionally, I write practical pieces on my firm's blog and seek to educate the broader public through writing and media interactions.

I hold several professional designations, including being a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER professional since 2014, and a Retirement Income Certified Professional (RICP) since 2016. I am also an IRS Enrolled Agent (EA), which enables me to provide in-depth tax planning as a part of your plan. I earned a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Purdue University.

On a personal note, I live in McKinney, Texas (North Dallas area) with my wife of almost twenty years, Pavi. I enjoy spending time with my daughter Veda, who is 13 years old, and my two-year-old German Shepherd, Mocha. I am a member of the Financial Planning Association (FPA), the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA), and the XY Planning Network.

Work Experience
  • I started my professional career back in 2002 as an electronics engineer working for IBM and their hard disk drive affiliate company. I transitioned into wealth management and financial planning in 2011. Through firms local to Plano and Frisco, Texas, I built experience in a variety of areas including behind-the-scenes operations, tax return preparation, financial plan development, and as a client-facing advisor. My experience has led me to Krishna Wealth Planning, which I opened in 2019. Since then, I've worked as owner/operator and am grateful to directly serve wonderful families both in the Dallas area and virtually across the country.
