About Gowdy Financial Group:

Gowdy Financial Group, LLC was founded in 2020 by J. Andrew Gowdy, MBA, RFC — a fee-only financial planner and coach with more than 25 years of experience in the financial services industry.

But the story starts much earlier than 2020.

Growing up, Andrew watched his mother do something remarkable: she ran their household, cared for her ailing mother and also managed her own business for over 45 years with: quiet strength, resilience, sharp instincts, and very little support.

She made financial decisions, solved problems, and kept everything moving forward — often without anyone in her corner to help her think things through. That image never left him.

Decades later, after helping countless clients navigate their financial lives, Andrew saw a troubling pattern. Single, divorced, and widowed women — many of them accomplished professionals — were consistently underserved.

They were handed generic advice, talked over, or simply expected to figure it out on their own while managing demanding careers, family responsibilities, and some of the most emotionally complex transitions of their lives.

That wasn't good enough.

Gowdy Financial Group was created to change that. It is a virtual, boutique-style financial planning and coaching firm built specifically for women who want a trusted partner — not a salesperson — in their corner.

Andrew works closely with women over 40 who are ready to gain clarity about their finances, make confident decisions, and build a future that reflects their goals and values.

Whether you're navigating life after divorce, adjusting to widowhood, preparing for retirement, or simply taking control of your financial life for the first time, you'll receive personalized, objective guidance tailored to your unique situation.

The firm's focus on women is intentional — and deeply personal. Women face financial challenges and life transitions that traditional financial planning firms often overlook or minimize. They deserve advice that is personal, transparent, and centered entirely on their goals.

At Gowdy Financial Group, there are no products to sell and no one-size-fits-all solutions. Just a supportive, judgment-free space where you can ask questions, get honest answers, and move forward with confidence.

You've spent years taking care of everyone else. Now it's your turn.
