About Us
Financial Planning Rooted in Trust—Since 1985
More Than a Financial Firm—A Family Legacy
Since 1985, Care Financial has remained a privately owned and operated firm, dedicated to providing personalized financial strategies tailored to your unique goals. As a family-run business with deep roots in Mobile and Fairhope, Alabama, we understand the value of local relationships, long-term planning, and education-first guidance. Our independence allows us to work with hundreds of trusted providers—bringing you unbiased advice and access to some of the best options available. We believe financial planning should feel like a conversation, not a transaction. That’s why we take time to get to know your story, understand your needs, and offer solutions that support every stage of your journey.
Education over sales. Strategy over pressure. Always.

The Financial House
Keeping Your Financial House in Order
Every client has different goals—but all strong financial plans start with a solid foundation. That’s why we use the “Financial House” to guide our approach. It’s a clear, visual way to understand how your financial strategy supports every part of your life.

Emergency Room
Set aside 3–6 months of income to prepare for the unexpected. Your safety net starts here.
Opportunity Room
Consider higher-risk, high-reward opportunities when appropriate. This is where your strategy can stretch.
Retirement Room
Create income for your future with plans that offer growth potential and protect your principal.
Investment Room
Maximize your long-term wealth with options that balance performance and protection.
The Roof: Protection Against Taxes and Inflation
No financial house is complete without a roof. We help shield your strategy from two major threats—taxation and inflation—so your money works smarter, longer.
