Danielle Miura, CFP®, MSFP, EA

Hi, my name is Danielle Miura, I am the owner of Spark Financials. I grew up as an only-child in a middle-class family. My parents strived for financial stability, working hard and long hours. Even though we hardly talked about money, I thought they would be able to have a comfortable retirement because they were working with a well-known financial firm. After our daughter was born, I had a strike of urgency to plan for my family’s future. After reviewing my parent's retirement documents, I found that their retirement funds had almost no growth during one of the best decades in the stock market.

After weeks of research, I discovered layers of hidden fees that ate away almost all growth. I contacted multiple well-known firms hoping to find an advisor who would treat my parents as their parents. To my surprise, I couldn’t find any local advisors that had a clear fee structure. Without any choice, I decided to do it myself. I started to read finance books, took seven CFP® educational courses, and passed two of the most difficult tests in the financial industry. Now, I have become one of the most prominent financial advisors in the industry.
