FINANCIAL PLANNER
Kacie Fawls, CFP® holds a Bachelor of Science in Finance from Virginia Tech’s CFP Certification Education track, a CFP Board Registered Program. She graduated Summa Cum Laude in May 2021.
Kacie began her career in financial planning with Yeske Buie as an Intern in June 2020, and is excited for the opportunity to help the firm’s Clients reach their goals with a tight-knit group of talented professionals as a full-time Assistant Financial Planner. Prior to joining Yeske Buie, Kacie began her professional career as a Finance Intern for the Defense Logistics Agency, an agency within the Department of Defense. She worked for the Financial Policy Team which was created to write official procedure documents to improve the agency’s internal controls.
In her free time, Kacie enjoys long runs and walks, biking, hiking, coffee talks, and finding new ways to turn plants into dessert!
Client Focus: Kacie believes in the importance of vulnerability in order to help foster a trusting environment for anyone she meets. She has a passion for helping people and gets a great sense of fulfillment from holding someone’s hand during the tough times, helping to alleviate stress, making someone’s life easier in any way that she can. She is excited to meet Clients and is ready to jump at any opportunity to serve them in order to best meet their needs.
Current Update: Life has moved fast for the Fawls family these past several weeks with travel and other big life events. The biggest being a spontaneous move to a townhouse that met all of Kacie and Dominic’s requirements – a yard for Ozzy and Jack to run around in, a basement that has now been designated as Jack’s playroom, and space for Dominic and Kacie to work that isn’t their kitchen table! A week later, Kacie finally got her wisdom teeth out after putting it off for five years. The procedure went smoothly, and recovery was better than she could’ve hoped for.
In the midst of all the stress that comes with moving, Kacie and Dominic went to a wedding for some friends from college, visited their Alma Mater for a Virginia Tech football game (Go Hokies!), and have enjoyed quality time with close friends.
There is no slowing down now that the holidays are fast approaching. The Fawls are looking forward to some much-needed quality time with family and are looking forward to making many more memories with Jack!
On a professional note, Kacie is continuing to settle into her new role as Financial Planner, taking more accountability for her work and the relationships she is managing. There have been many big learning moments filled with growth, and she is looking forward to many more as she continues to develop into a planner.
