About Michael Izbotsky, CFP®
Hi, I'm Michael Izbotsky. I was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley in LA. I spent a few years away while at San Diego State University. After graduating, I spent nearly nine months in Israel working odd jobs and enjoying time with my friends and family.I came back to LA in 2014 where I got my first "real" job at a large insurance and investment firm. I got licensed as a financial advisor in 2015, which allowed me to focus full time on financial planning and investment management. I earned my CFP® certification in 2017, and soon after in 2018, I decided it was time to start my own firm. I wanted to leave the whole corporate structure behind and work with the clients who I wanted to work with. I was tired of various sales quotas and metrics. I knew I could offer better and completely unbiased service by having my own firm. I'm now able to work primarily with motivated millennials who are ready to take things to the next level.
My wife Juliet and I moved back to the West Valley in 2025. We love staying active as much as we can. We mostly enjoy, walking our pup, and camping with the family. (I also try to get in a good surf and skate session each week.)
Let's connect so I can now learn more about you!

Wealthtender® is a trusted, independent financial directory and educational resource governed by our strict Editorial Policy, Integrity Standards, and Terms of Use. While we receive compensation from featured professionals (a natural conflict of interest), we always operate with integrity and transparency to earn your trust. Wealthtender is not a client of these providers. Testimonials may not be representative of other clients’ experiences and do not guarantee future performance or success.
We Want Your Voice to be Heard
Wealthtender exists to help people discover trusted and authentic financial professionals and educators who may be a good fit based on their unique needs and circumstances.
Your honest reviews help people decide which financial professionals and educators may be best suited to their individual needs.
The majority of people trust reviews as much as personal recommendations, so what you write in your review should reflect your own opinion and experience.
Tips for Writing a Helpful Review
Be descriptive. Instead of just saying what you like or dislike, share why. What have you enjoyed most or least about your experience with the provider? Have they helped you overcome a difficult financial challenge or strengthened your knowledge about particular money matters? The more details, the better!
Be honest. Your rating and review should reflect your actual experience.
Stay relevant. Ensure your review is helpful to others by avoiding off-topic discussions or personal opinions not relevant to your direct experience.
Make your review easy to read. Reviews should be readable to others. Use proper grammar, avoid excessive capitalization or punctuation, and be sure to check your spelling.
Be yourself. Don’t post as, or pretend to be, someone else, and do not say you’re associated with a person or organization with which you are not.
Be nice. Don’t write abusive, hateful, threatening, or harassing content. Avoid personal threats, hate speech, obscenities, or inflammatory language.
Respect the privacy of others. Don’t post information that can be used to identify another individual or compromise their privacy.
Report abuse. Thank you for helping us ensure reviews on Wealthtender are helpful to everyone. If you suspect possible violations of our guidelines or believe a review is inappropriate, please email [email protected] with a link to the provider’s profile, indicating the review in question and the reason you believe it violates our guidelines.
