Austin M. Mall
Founder & CFP® Professional
Austin Mall, CFP® is the founder of Mall Family Wealth and a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional dedicated to helping families make wise long-term financial decisions. A lifelong love of mathematics, problem solving, and financial analysis led Austin to a career in financial planning, where he particularly enjoys helping clients navigate complex planning opportunities, including income tax strategies.
As the oldest of six children in a blended family, Austin developed an early appreciation for the fact that every person and every family is unique. Before becoming a financial planner, he served as a teacher and coach, experiences that continue to shape his commitment to educating clients and future generations. Austin also spent time in seminary, where he gained a deeper understanding of the values, relationships, and sense of purpose that often form a family's most meaningful legacy.
As an independent fiduciary, Austin believes that financial planning is about far more than growing wealth. It is about aligning financial decisions with the people, values, and goals that matter most. Austin and his wife, a professional pianist, are raising two young children and have found that a long-term perspective provides clarity and confidence in both family life and financial planning.
This shared philosophy made joining Michael A. Bell, CFP®, a natural fit. Both advisors are committed to independent advice, meaningful client relationships, and helping families build legacies that extend beyond finances alone. Together, they provide thoughtful guidance designed to serve clients and their families for generations.
A Family Business Built on Trust
When you hire me, you're not just getting a financial advisor—you're getting a CFP® professional with a passion for helping others do more. I treat your finances like my own and your family like they matter, because they do.
- Honest, up-front pricing with no hidden costs. During our complimentary introductory consultation, I'll explain all fees clearly so you can make an informed decision without pressure or obligation.
- Clear communication and expert advice backed by a solid reputation.
- Reliable advice when you need it most—I serve clients myself and do not offload personal advice to someone new.
Independent Fiduciary
When I provide financial advice, I am required to put your interests first. To me, that's simply the way financial advice should be.
Education-First
My goal isn't simply to tell clients what to do. It's to help them understand their options and make confident decisions.
Built for Generations
A meaningful legacy is about much more than money—it's about family, character, purpose, and the values we pass on.
