Uniquely, the majority of Minneapolis financial advisors and support staff employed at Birchwood are women, marking a stark contrast against the financial advisory industry. 8 out of 11 team members are women, with one being co-founder Kay Kramer.

In an industry where women are notoriously under-represented, Birchwood successfully maintains a clear commitment to keeping a diverse, talented team of Minnesota financial advisors.

Rating Summary

As a fee-only firm with a diverse, talented team and a client-first focus, Birchwood Financial Partners has earned a spot among the top-rated financial advisors in Minnesota.

Our review found the large percentage of female advisors particularly notable, particularly as global themes of gender diversity in financial services continue to spark in-depth research and conversation.

With a dedication to diversity, a wide range of services, and plenty of accreditation to validate the team’s collective experience, Birchwood receives a 5-star rating as a top Minnesota financial advisor to partner with this year.
