About Theresa Pablos

I built this practice to solve a specific problem: tech professionals are generating incredible wealth, but often lack the time or bandwidth to actually enjoy it.

You spend your days making high-stakes decisions and solving complex problems. The last thing you want to do when you sign off is decipher the tax implications of a tender offer or worry if you're saving enough for a home.

That's where I come in.

From navigating ISOs and RSUs to planning for potential IPOs, I handle the technical heavy lifting so you don't have to. My goal is simple: to take the noise of your financial life and turn it into a clear, actionable plan.

Because the point isn't just to have money. It's to have options.

Additional Information

My Approach

I don't believe in deferring happiness for a retirement date that is decades away. I believe in using your wealth to fuel a life you love right now, whether that's taking a career break, traveling with your family, or just sleeping better at night knowing you have a plan.

My financial planning work is done through Equalis Financial, a 100% fee-only, fiduciary firm. I don’t sell products or take commissions. My only incentive is to help you navigate competing priorities with a plan that reflects your unique values.

If you’re ready to build a life that gives you options, let’s chat.

My Specialties:

  • RSU compensation
  • ISO exercise decisions
  • ESPP awards
  • IPO planning
