Kris Barney

Hi, I'm Kris — founder and lead financial advisor at 30/40 Wealth.

‍

After nearly a decade in Silicon Valley, I launched 30/40 Wealth in 2020 to help tech professionals navigate the complexities of stock compensation, tax strategies, investments, and financial planning. Like many in tech, I’m a bit of a geek — but my passion is using that energy to simplify financial decisions for busy, high-achieving professionals.

‍

If you’re in tech, have stock comp, and juggle a demanding personal and professional life, let’s connect to see if I might be the right financial partner for you.
