About Us

Our Story

Our founder, Bill Stordahl, began his career with a Midwestern financial services firm where he was drawn to the firm’s values of client first, shareholder second. That firm was later sold to a large national bank that did not seem to share those values. 

After the sale, Bill knew then it was time to make a change and launch his own business. In 2009, he became an independent financial advisor serving the Denver area. In 2017, he reorganized Stordahl Capital Management into a fiduciary, fee-only financial planning firm centered on life planning and committed to delivering exceptional experiences and great outcomes to the firm’s clients by always putting their interests first.

Our goal is to manage the details of our clients’ financial lives so that they leave our office feeling cared for, inspired, and confident, knowing the answers to the only two questions about money that really matter: Will I be OK, and can I live the life I want?
