Brian Thompson, JD, CFP, founded Brian Thompson Financial, a fee-only firm in Chicago that works with LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs running mission-driven businesses. A former tax attorney who spent a decade defending small-business owners, he combines tax knowledge with comprehensive planning. As a fee-only fiduciary, he is never paid commissions and is legally bound to act in clients’ interests. Thompson is a member of NAPFA, the XY Planning Network, and Pride Planners, and he writes and speaks on the intersection of identity, business, and money. His practice blends business and personal finances for founders whose two are closely linked, covering entity structure, taxes, retirement, and protecting the value they build.
