Chris
Cyndecki

CFA, CFP®

Chris is a seasoned financial advisor at Pioneer Wealth, where he has been helping individuals and families achieve financial empowerment since 2011. He enjoys teaching complex financial concepts in a jargon-free way and helping clients build the knowledge and tools they need to make informed choices about their money. 

Chris enjoys building strong relationships with his clients based on trust, transparency, and clear communication. Since his first job waiting tables as a college student, Chris learned early on the importance of building connections with others through kindness and empathy. This drives his commitment to not only providing expert financial guidance but, perhaps more importantly, fostering a sense of security and confidence among each of his clients in their ability to achieve their goals and dreams. 

His philosophy is simple: money should work for you, not the other way around. He doesn’t just see money as a means to an end, but as a powerful tool that can transform lives—reducing stress, creating freedom, and aligning personal values with financial decisions.

Chris specializes in working with families that have complexity tied to employer stock compensation, with a particular passion for helping clients who are focused on personal growth and community impact. Committed to constant growth, he holds the Chartered Financial Analyst® designation and CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER ™ certification. 

Outside of work, Chris is happiest when he’s skiing, playing piano, catching live music, or digging into the latest on investment trends. He also enjoys daily walks with his wife, Katie, their son, Lucas, and their German Shepherd, Theo.
