Robyn Hutchinson, an experienced financial advisor, has been helping individuals and families plan their financial future for more than 25 years. Before that, she earned her way to District Manager for “The Limited Stores,” a retail clothing giant. A natural relationship builder with a strong discernment for markets and economics, Robyn discovered, as she sought to transition her career, her own talent for guiding others through the financial planning process, and helping them navigate complex, financial decisions. Along the way she adds to her financial knowledge well over and above that required. One example is earning the Certificate of Achievement in Advanced Asset Allocation & Practice Managment from Equitable Advisors Institute, Cambridge, MA.

Her strong listening skills and focus on understanding the initial and changing goals of her clients allows her to accurately tailor recommendations which help clients feel confident in the financial plan they jointly construct. It is not by chance that Robyn’s clientele contains many referrals and multi-generational families. Robyn truly looks upon her clients as family.

Robyn is a native Washingtonian and graduate of Eastern Washington University where she maintains many friendships. In her spare time, Robyn enjoys spending time with her husband and their two black labs - Abby and Archie, traveling, and attending live concerts and local theater. She is grateful to be able to spread her knowledge beyond her client base by teaching financial management classes at her local church.
