About

A Decade in Wealth Management.

Montano Financial Services LLC is an independent paraplanning and back-office support firm founded by Montgomery Montano, a licensed financial services professional with nearly a decade of experience across wealth management, portfolio analysis, and financial planning operations.

After years inside large firms, I built Montano Financial Services to offer the same analytical depth and operational discipline that institutional clients expect, delivered as a flexible 1099 engagement for RIAs and independent advisors who need real support without the overhead of a full-time hire.

I am bilingual in English and Spanish and hold Series 7, Series 66, and Life and Health Insurance licenses across multiple states. Every engagement is handled with precision, discretion, and a commitment to your firm's standards.

Technology

Platform Fluency

I work inside your existing ecosystem from day one. No ramp-up time, no learning curve.

Security & Access All major financial planning platforms support role-based access and sub-user permissions, meaning you never need to share your primary credentials. I am added as a staff user, associate, or collaborator within your existing account, with access scoped only to what the engagement requires. No credential sharing, no security risk, and full audit trail visibility on your end. If you are unsure how to set this up for your specific platform, I can walk you through it.
