Additional Information
Filip is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ with almost two decades of financial services experience. He started his career in the retail banking environment - first as a bank teller in high school before moving on to a banker role at JP Morgan Chase after graduating college. In this capacity, Filip educated and assisted a diverse mix of personal and business clients with core financial needs including banking, investments and lending. After, he transitioned to UBS and developed a strong foundation around investment research early on and comprehensive planning later, acquiring his CFP® certification in 2017. With this base, Filip moved to TIAA to work with mostly late career accumulators, pre-retirees and retirees. This is where his passion for holistic planning really took off and led him to Facet, where he was able to apply his experience and knowledge to everyone at different stages of life. Additionally, he became an expert in strategizing around niche components of planning like equity compensation, employee benefits and more. Fast forward to the current day, Filip owns and operates Benzina Wealth, LLC (an independent Registered Investment Advisor) where he can focus his diverse skill set, perfectionist nature and all resources on creating a high quality, detailed financial plan for mid-career professionals and business owners. Growing up in New York, Filip now considers the Gulf Coast of Florida his home base alongside his wife, Stephanie and their cat, Olivia (who really runs the house) - Filip’s parents are 2 miles away (kind of like “Everybody loves Raymond”). Their values include spending time with family (even if it means a quick turnaround flight to NY to see the in-laws), traveling to gain exposure to different cultures around the world, and staying active (with hiking and skiing at the top of the list). Daily free time is occupied with reading, listening to a podcast, hitting the gym or going on a long drive together.NAPFA Start Date
