Our Team

We build in-depth relationships with our clients by offering experienced guidance within the setting of a smaller, more personalized firm.

Founding Partner

Since founding Plum Street Advisors in 2016 with David Dirks, I have focused on guiding clients through the full spectrum of financial decisions – from building portfolios and customized retirement plans to addressing tax, estate, and charitable giving strategies. My work centers on helping individuals and families make confident, informed choices that align their resources with their goals.

Founding Partner

At Plum Street Advisors, I have provided clients with comprehensive financial advice, strategically managed their investment portfolios, and built customized roadmaps for successful retirement since 2016. All of us at Plum Street Advisors share our mission of building a client-first financial planning firm on a strong ethical foundation. We don’t answer to shareholders or corporate parents – we answer only to our clients. We don’t sell products; we offer professional analysis and advice.

Senior Advisor
For the past 25 years, I have used my finance and governance experience to serve a wide range of clients and non-profit organizations. Much of my professional career was as a portfolio specialist at institutional investment firms, including MFS Investment Management and Morgan Stanley Institutional Investment Management. More recently, I headed up socially responsible investing for Portico Benefit Services. I have been an active volunteer and board member for local and national non-profit organizations, where I have contributed to finance, policy and governance initiatives.

Christophe Cadiou, CPA, CFP®

Senior Advisor

I have been working in the financial services industry for over 30 years, most of it serving banking, insurance and asset management clients as a partner at PwC, a large accounting and consulting firm. Over the years, I developed a passion for helping others succeed financially and embarked on a journey aimed at improving financial wellbeing within the community. In 2022, I decided to retire from PwC and started doing pro bono work with nonprofits. And then in late 2023, I found Plum Street Advisors and immediately loved the firm’s strong ethics and commitment to helping families and nonprofits navigate their financial journey, a philosophy that closely resonates with my own mission.

I was drawn to Plum Street Advisors’ transparent and client-first approach to financial planning, and I love being part of a small, dedicated team of professionals.
