Financial Planners for Independent Women
We help you align your money with what matters most to you.
Our Typical Clients
At Align Financial Solutions, we partner with independent women and families who have diligently saved over $1 million (excluding their real estate). These individuals prioritize thoughtful financial planning, value long-term relationships, and are ready to take control of their financial future—on their terms.
Our clients are serious about enhancing their financial future and value working with a qualified professional who can help them feel confident about their money. They seek to make smart financial decisions, efficiently manage their wealth, and avoid costly mistakes.
Whether navigating a career transition as a breadwinner woman or preparing for retirement in the near term, our clients appreciate having a trusted advocate by their side. We take the time to truly understand their big goals and unique needs, offering personalized guidance to help them achieve the financial freedom they deserve.
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?”
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.

I cannot even begin to put into words what an incredible experience it has been working with Hazel. I have had the pleasure of working very closely with Hazel and her team…Hazel immediately stepped in and assisted my mother and I every step of the way, helping us understand and organize our finances and educate us on estate planning, retirement and trust funds.
