Your Team

Steven Kibbel is the founder of Kibbel Financial Planning, a firm built to serve professionals and business owners who value clarity, thoughtful strategy, and long-term partnership. With over a decade of experience in financial services, Steven takes a planning-first approach that is fiduciary by design. He works with Millennials, Gen Z professionals, and business owners who want more than investment management — they want their entire financial life connected into a single, practical framework. The goal isn’t complexity. It’s clarity, confidence, and disciplined follow-through. 

Steven helps clients align their money with their values and make better decisions by integrating retirement planning, investments, tax strategy, cash flow, and long-term wealth building into one cohesive strategy. His advice is direct, implementation-focused, and grounded in real-world tradeoffs. Steven founded Kibbel Financial Planning in 2020 to create a more independent, client-centered experience focused on transparency and long-term relationships. 

Born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, Steven balances running his firm with life as a husband and father of four. Outside of work, he enjoys hiking, backpacking, and spending time outdoors with his family. He is also passionate about financial education and has authored children’s books focused on teaching financial literacy at an early age.
