What We Do
We deliver financial plans tailored to your goals. You keep full control of your accounts — we provide the guidance, and you make every decision.
A comprehensive evaluation of your current and future financial state — covering cash flow, debt, savings, and a plan designed around your specific goals and Investment Policy Statement.
Projections and strategies to help you achieve financial independence — including distribution planning to minimize the risk of outliving your assets in retirement.
Asset allocation strategies grounded in passive investing and Modern Portfolio Theory — helping you understand how to invest, without us managing your money.
Guidance on tax-efficient accounts and investment placement — coordinated with your tax professional to minimize current and future tax liability.
Analysis of your estate exposure and current plan — including wills, trusts, and powers of attorney — coordinated with a qualified estate planning attorney.
Projections and savings strategies for post-secondary education funding, including 529 plans and financial aid eligibility planning.
Review and analysis of your employee benefits to ensure you're taking maximum advantage of what's available — including retirement plans, health coverage, stock options, and other employer-offered programs.
Analysis of your exposure to major risks — including premature death, disability, property loss, and long-term care needs — along with a review of existing policies to ensure proper coverage for life, health, disability, and liability.
About DevTara Financial
DevTara Financial was founded in 2026 by Keshar M. Ghimire — an economist and university professor with a PhD in Economics — with a mission to make high-quality financial advice accessible to individuals and families who may not typically work with a financial adviser.
As an advice-only, fee-only firm, DevTara does not manage client assets, execute trades, or earn commissions. We serve individuals, families, and small business owners of all income levels. Our only compensation is your hourly fee — so our advice is always aligned with your interests, not ours.
Why DevTara
As a registered investment adviser, we are legally obligated to act in your best interest — not ours.
We don't manage your money or earn commissions. You stay in full control and execute all decisions independently.
We serve clients regardless of net worth or income — including a discounted rate for qualifying households.
Our principal holds a PhD in Economics — bringing rigorous, evidence-based thinking to your plan.
