About Igor Aronov, CFP®
I’m Igor Aronov, CFP®, founder of FAR Financial, a flat-fee, advice-only fiduciary financial planning firm based in Brooklyn, New York. I provide comprehensive advice to help professionals, business owners, and families simplify complex financial lives and make confident long-term decisions.Many of the people I work with are navigating the busy middle years of life. Careers are advancing, children are growing up, and financial responsibilities begin to intersect in more complicated ways. Housing decisions, taxes, retirement planning, education funding, insurance, and business considerations often interact with one another.
My role is to help clients step back, organize the many moving pieces of their financial lives, and approach important decisions with clarity and perspective. Financial planning is rarely about a single issue. It is about understanding how different choices connect and deciding what matters most.
Before becoming a financial planner, I spent more than twenty years running a business in the design and technology field. Running a business and helping launch my wife’s mental health practice gave me firsthand experience with the realities many of my clients face, including balancing career growth, family life, and long-term financial decisions.
Clients often tell me they value the thoughtful and responsive approach I bring to the relationship. My goal is simple. I help people simplify their financial lives so they can make decisions with clarity and confidence.
I am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional and an active member of organizations that support fiduciary financial planning, including the Financial Planning Association, where I serve on the FPA NY Metro Board of Directors, as well as NAPFA, XY Planning Network, the Advice-Only Network, and the Fee-Only Network.
I earned my BFA in Photography from the School of Visual Arts and completed the Certificate in Financial Planning program at Bryant University. I live in Brooklyn with my family and our dog, Charlie. I enjoy music, both making it and listening to it, attending concerts, photography, and traveling. At some point in the future, I would love to run an educational photography program for high school students.
My goal is simple. I help people simplify their financial lives so they can make decisions with clarity and confidence.

We Want Your Voice to be Heard
Wealthtender exists to help people discover trusted and authentic financial professionals and educators who may be a good fit based on their unique needs and circumstances.
Your honest reviews help people decide which financial professionals and educators may be best suited to their individual needs.
The majority of people trust reviews as much as personal recommendations, so what you write in your review should reflect your own opinion and experience.
Tips for Writing a Helpful Review
Be descriptive. Instead of just saying what you like or dislike, share why. What have you enjoyed most or least about your experience with the provider? Have they helped you overcome a difficult financial challenge or strengthened your knowledge about particular money matters? The more details, the better!
Be honest. Your rating and review should reflect your actual experience.
Stay relevant. Ensure your review is helpful to others by avoiding off-topic discussions or personal opinions not relevant to your direct experience.
Make your review easy to read. Reviews should be readable to others. Use proper grammar, avoid excessive capitalization or punctuation, and be sure to check your spelling.
Be yourself. Don’t post as, or pretend to be, someone else, and do not say you’re associated with a person or organization with which you are not.
Be nice. Don’t write abusive, hateful, threatening, or harassing content. Avoid personal threats, hate speech, obscenities, or inflammatory language.
Respect the privacy of others. Don’t post information that can be used to identify another individual or compromise their privacy.
