Elissa Buie Appears on Washingtonian Magazine’s List of Top Money Advisors for the Fifth Time

Elissa Buie, CFP®, co-founder and CEO of Yeske Buie, has been named to Washingtonian Magazine’s list of the Top Money Advisers in the DC metro area for 2014. Ms. Buie has appeared on all four of Washingtonian’s previous lists of top financial planners. The magazine developed its list by surveying hundreds of financial professionals in the DC Metro Region, asking “Whom would you trust with your own money?” The magazine then followed up the recommendations with their own research, interviewing experts and consulting industry organizations and publications. Those on the list received the most recommendations from all sources. Elissa was one of only 58 fee-only financial planners named.

The November issue of Washingtonian, which is now on newsstands, highlights Yeske Buie and the firm’s unique financial planning philosophy:

“Money, however hard earned, is a renewable resource. At Yeske Buie, we help our clients make the most of their most valuable resource: life. Our motto is Live Big® – It’s about the size of your life, not the size of your wallet®.”
