About Toney

Toney Cuellar is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional who manages an advice-based financial practice with long-term client relationships nationwide. She meets with most of her clients virtually, where she helps them define their goals, develop comprehensive strategies, and implement their plans with ongoing service, support, and monitoring.

Often, she works with people who are happy with their income but lack strategy and conviction about what they should be doing with their finances in the accumulation stage of their life. She has extensive knowledge of:

  • Robust employee benefits packages
  • Company stock plans
  • Tax minimization strategies
  • Military benefits & nuances
  • Retirement and non-retirement investment strategies
  • Home purchase strategies
  • Student loan management

Toney is very passionate about her client relationships and is honored to still work with those whom she initially met when she first launched in 2015. She has a reputation for being very personable, integrous, and dedicated.

She is upheld to the fiduciary standard as she focuses on fee-based financial planning as an independent financial advisor partnered with North Star Resource Group, one of the nation’s largest and oldest privately held independent financial advising firms. They manage over $11 billion of client assets entrusted to them with origins tracing back to 19081.

Toney’s hobbies include running, reading, and going to the beach. She resides in San Diego, CA, but frequently visits Austin, TX, where she grew up and her family still lives.
