Our Company

Personalized Financial Planning Rooted in Experience and Relationships

Earl Financial was founded in 2020 by Carly Earl, a financial professional who has been helping individuals and families pursue their financial goals since 2008. The firm continues a tradition of personalized financial guidance that began in the early 2000s with Carly's father, Malcolm J. Montague, who built a practice centered on trust, service, and long-term client relationships.

After working alongside clients and helping grow the practice for more than a decade, Carly assumed ownership in 2020 and rebranded the firm as Earl Financial. Today, we remain committed to helping clients make informed financial decisions through comprehensive financial planning, investment management, retirement planning, tax-efficient strategies, and legacy planning.

As a relationship-driven firm, we believe every client deserves personalized guidance tailored to their unique goals, values, and financial circumstances. Our holistic approach is designed to help clients organize their financial lives, simplify complex decisions, and build long-term financial confidence.

Carly is a Registered Representative with LPL Financial, the largest independent broker-dealer in the country*.  Backed by an experienced team and extensive resources, we are committed to helping clients navigate important financial decisions through every stage of life.

Our Core Values

The foundation of our firm is built on five guiding principles that shape every client relationship.

Simplicity

Financial planning should provide clarity, not confusion. We strive to simplify complex financial matters and present guidance in a way that is easy to understand and act upon.

Intuition

We listen carefully and seek to understand what matters most to our clients. By looking beyond the numbers, we can develop strategies that align with your goals, priorities, and vision for the future.

Integrity

Trust is the cornerstone of every relationship. We are committed to delivering on our promises and always acting in our clients' best interests with honesty and transparency.

Accuracy

Details matter. We take a thorough and disciplined approach to financial planning, seeking accuracy and efficiency in every recommendation and strategy.

Teamwork

Successful financial planning is a collaborative process. We value strong partnerships with our clients and work together to help achieve meaningful financial outcomes.
