Her firm provides comprehensive, fee-only planning and investment management with no commissions. McClanahan serves on the CNBC Financial Advisor Council and is a regular source for The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, and The New York Times. She is a member of NAPFA and the Financial Planning Association, and in 2024 received Investment News’s Alexandra Armstrong Lifetime Achievement Award.
