LOVE my financial advisor!
HI there...I lived in the metro DC area for 27 years and established a relationship with a financial advisor I adore, and have complete trust and faith in. She was part of a small practice then went out on her own, and is located in Alexandria, VA. She is part of the Financial Network and is not affiliated with any big houses/corporations so does not have an agenda to sell products or steer anyone toward any formulaic approach to planning and/or investing. I live in California now but still rely on her.
Her name is Jo Thomson and here is her contact info:
101 N Union St
Alexandria, VA 22314
(703) 549-3955
Hope that's helpful. If you pursue her, you can tell her Taya referred you.
Another option you can consider is eWomenNetwork -- the largest women's business network in North America. If you go to www.eWomenNetwork.com you can search a database of woman-owned businesses across the US and the search terms list is exhaustive so you could play around with looking for someone in your current local area and/or the area you're moving to.

Best of luck with your new venture! Life it too short not to take risks and give your dreams a go -- let me know if I can be of any further help.
