Hello, I’m Dan Gould. I am an independent, fee-only advisor based in Overland Park, KS. My financial services are available to individuals, families, professionals, and small business owners nationwide. With over 25 years of experience in the financial markets, I provide successful trading and portfolio management strategies from institutional settings.

  • I’m a proud native of Three Rivers, Michigan.
  • Graduated from Bradley University with a degree in International Finance & Quantitative Methods.
  • I live in Leawood, Kansas with my wife, Dana, who works as a preservation architect, our two children, and my son's dog, Scout.
  • I enjoy travel, scuba diving, and snow skiing.

Background and Experience:

I entered the workforce well-prepared. While earning my Finance & Quantitative Methods degree at Bradley University, I became a licensed Series 7 Registered Representative and was awarded a CFA merit scholarship in Zurich, Switzerland. I was also lucky to study Finance & Economics abroad in London, Geneva, and Prague. Those experiences steered me toward a trading career in Chicago. I quickly moved from managing trading desks to senior positions and, ultimately, as a founding partner in a leading trading company. Those diverse experiences, from academic achievements to hands-on roles in trading and risk management, directly influence investment strategy and how we manage risk for you.

Why We Do What We Do

I’m from a small blue-collar town, so I understand the value of a dollar. My interest in financial markets began early, and I wanted to help people in my community live their best lives. However, early in my career, there were limited options. Most opportunities involved working for a bank or large brokerage house, selling products with little regard for the client’s interests. The primary aim was to maximize profits for the company, but this wasn't the path I chose to follow.

Fortunately, now there is a structure that allows me to operate independently as a fiduciary, meaning I can help my clients in a way that's most suitable for them. I operate as a lifestyle business, meaning I can choose the families I want to work with. There are no sales quotas or asset requirements that I need to meet, which is the only way I want to operate.
