Amber Miller, CFP®, CSRIC™
Sr. Financial Planner
Twin Cities
I help responsible women and young professionals make smart decisions with their money so they can spend more time on their busy, adventurous lives and less on their financial worries. I specialize in working with pediatric healthcare professionals and superstar women in tech. I am currently one of less than 500 financial professionals to hold the Chartered SRI Counselor (CSRIC) designation, which specializes in sustainable, responsible, and impact investments (SRI). These are investments that consider the environment as well as incorporate procedures and governance to not only generate a return for a client but also to make a positive societal impact. Amber currently leads our Minneapolis office.

“It is good to have an end to journey towards, but it is the journey that matters, in the end.” -Ursula K LeGuin
When I’m not at work, I’m usually on the water in my rowing single training for local and national races. I’ve been rowing since college and love being out on the water, pushing my mind and body to its limit. I also enjoy running half-marathons, CrossFit, hiking the Superior Hiking Trail, and the occasional Tough Mudder obstacle courses. I’ve lived in three countries and six states and am a sucker for anything travel and adventure related.
