With more than 15 years in the financial services industry, Chris Burkhart combines analytical expertise with heartfelt connection as a trusted financial advisor. She earned her B.S. in Economics with a minor in French from the University of Oklahoma and achieved the Financial Paraplanner Qualified Professional™ (FPQP™) designation in 2019. Her early career on Wall Street sharpened her data analysis skills, but it was the transition to financial advising that ignited her true passion: helping clients navigate their financial futures with clarity and confidence.
A cancer survivor herself, Chris’s journey has given her a profound perspective on focusing on what truly matters. She channels this passion into volunteer work with the CENTS Cancer Program, supporting patients and families through the financial challenges of treatment. She is also actively involved with Team Survivor Northwest, the Junior League of Seattle, and the Alpha Chi Omega Alumnae. Outside of work and volunteer commitments, Chris enjoys spending time at the View Ridge Swim and Tennis Club, often poolside with neighbors and friends.
When she’s not working or volunteering, Chris treasures time with her husband and two daughters—one in high school and one at the University of Washington. Their dog, Axel, has earned a special place as the most-photographed member of the family. She dreams of a relaxing day on a warm beach with great snorkeling.
Chris approaches life and financial planning with empathy and understanding. She especially enjoys working with clients approaching retirement, helping them face life’s financial complexities with clear guidance. One couple coined the phrase #CRTN—“Chris Run The Numbers”—a testament to the empowering role she plays in evaluating new possibilities for their next chapter.
Whether guiding clients through major financial decisions or giving back to her community, Chris brings warmth, perspective, and insight to everything she does.
