Meet Igor Aronov, CFP®

I’m Igor Aronov, CFP®, founder of FAR Financial, an independent flat-fee, fiduciary financial planning firm based in Brooklyn, New York. I work with people whose financial lives have become more complex, including busy professionals, couples, families, and business owners in NYC and across the country.

My work focuses on helping clients simplify complex financial lives and make thoughtful long-term decisions. For some, complexity comes from a growing family, education planning, or homeownership. For others, it may come from career growth, changing income, equity compensation, taxes, real estate, business ownership, or simply wanting a clearer plan for the future.

At this stage, financial questions rarely come one at a time.

You may be wondering:

• How much money do I need to retire?

• Am I saving enough?

• Am I making smart decisions with my investments?

• Am I missing opportunities to reduce taxes now or in the future?

• What should I do with cash from a bonus, inheritance, business sale, or other major event?

• Should I buy a home, renovate, move, or stay where I am?

• How should we think about college funding?

• Do I have the right insurance and estate planning documents in place?

• What should I prioritize first?

Before becoming a financial planner, I spent more than twenty years running a business in the design and technology field. Leading a business, managing contractors, working with clients, and balancing family responsibilities gave me firsthand experience with the real pressures people face when life is moving quickly and financial decisions become more complicated.

That experience now shapes how I work with clients. I bring technical financial planning expertise, but also empathy, responsiveness, and clear communication. Financial planning should not feel like a stack of disconnected recommendations. It should help you understand how the pieces of your financial life fit together and what deserves attention first.

I am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional. I am also an active member of organizations that support fiduciary, fee-only financial planning, including the FPA (Financial Planning Association) where I serve on FPA of Metro New York Board of Directors, NAPFA, XYPN and Garrett Network.

I hold a BFA in Photography from the School of Visual Arts. My background in business ownership, design, and photography continues to influence how I think about planning: organize the details, understand the bigger picture, and create something that works in real life.

I live in Brooklyn with my family and our dog, Charlie, and I work with clients locally in New York City and virtually across the country.

Financial planning, for me, is about simplifying complexity. It is about helping you bring order to your financial life, reduce stress, and make decisions with clarity and confidence.
