Financial Advisors for Independent Women
We align your money with what matters most to you.
Do These Questions Sound Familiar?
When people come to us, they’re often curious about their financial future and wonder:
“Can I maintain my current lifestyle when I retire?”
“Do I have the option to retire early if I wanted to?”
“Am I making the right financial decisions now for my future?”
Our Typical Clients
We typically work with independent women who have saved over $1 million and are serious about enhancing their financial future. They value building a meaningful, long-term relationship with a qualified professional to feel confident about their money, make smart financial decisions, efficiently manage their wealth, and avoid costly mistakes.
Our clients appreciate having a trusted advocate by their side—someone who truly understands their big goals and unique needs, whether it’s navigating a recent life transition such as widowhood or divorce, or preparing for retirement in the near term.
Meet Hazel Secco, CFP®, CDFA®, Founder and CEO
Growing up, Hazel saw the financial struggles her family went through, especially the challenges faced by the women in her life. Her father’s gambling addiction created instability and left a lasting impact, driving Hazel to break the cycle of financial insecurity and help others do the same.
After building a successful career as a financial advisor, Hazel realized that true stability isn’t just about having money—it’s also about overcoming the fear and stress tied to it. At 27, while dealing with her own anxiety from childhood experiences, she decided to take a new approach to finance.
That’s how Align Financial Solutions was created. Hazel’s mission is to help independent women take charge of their finances, overcome money struggles, and build lives filled with confidence and freedom. She’s passionate about making sure no woman feels stuck or powerless when it comes to her financial future—because every woman deserves to live life on her terms.

Understand the CFP® Difference
Not all financial advisors are the same. CFP® professionals have demonstrated their mastery of financial planning through rigorous education, testing, and experience requirements. They are committed to a fiduciary standard of care, meaning they are legally obligated to act in their client’s best interests.
Additionally, this designation requires ongoing education, ensuring that CFP® professionals are up-to-date on the latest financial planning strategies and industry regulations. With a CFP® professional, you can benefit from their experience, knowledge, and personalized advice to help achieve your financial goals.
