The confidence your money is looking for
Money in Motion
We’ve guided many households through these decisions.
Retirement
Do I have enough to retire? How do I turn my investments into a retirement paycheck that lasts? Which accounts do I draw from, and when?

Seeking a New Advisor
Not every advisor is built for every season of life. It’s worth knowing what a more specialized relationship looks like.
Fee-only financial advisor →
Fee-only, full-time fiduciary, since 1995.
We don’t sell products. We don’t earn commissions. Our sole compensation is the fee you pay us, so our advice is aligned with your goals, not a sales quota. In an industry built on conflicts of interest, our business model sets us apart.
Fee-only.
No commissions. No product sales. No kickbacks. We only work for you.
Fiduciary.
Legally obligated to always act in your best interest.
Since 1995.
Our founders were among the first fee-only advisors in Nebraska.
The only Nebraska firm on the 2025 CNBC FA 100.
Ranked #5 nationally by CNBC on their FA 100 list (October 2025 to October 2026). Evaluated among thousands of U.S. financial advisor firms on credentials, assets under management, team experience, and compliance record. The only Nebraska firm to make the list, all seven years.
This ranking was issued by CNBC in October 2025 and covers the period October 2025 to October 2026. Pittenger & Anderson did not pay to obtain this rating; however, we have licensed the CNBC FA 100 logo for use in our own advertising materials.
A Plan Built for Your Life
Your life doesn’t fit a template.
Your plan shouldn’t either.
A financial plan isn’t a document. It’s the answer to questions like these:
Do I have enough to retire?
Can we buy the lake house and still be okay?
Can we continue to be charitable and maintain our standard of living?
How can I structure things to take care of my loved ones and leave a legacy?
Every plan we build starts with questions like those. Then we urge our clients to spend, give, and live, not just accumulate. Confidence isn’t a number on a statement. It’s the permission to use what you’ve built.
Planning isn’t a one-time event. It’s a process, and we’re with you every step of the way.
Clarity over complexity.
Evolving tax rules. Social Security timing decisions. Which accounts to draw from first. Charitable and family giving strategies. It’s a jungle. The firms that profit from the jungle have a reason to keep it tangled. We don’t.
Our job is to cut through it, explain what matters, and help you make confident decisions.
