Emma Nelson, the founder of Emberlight Financial, is dedicated to providing personalized, compassionate financial guidance for individuals, families, and organizations. After 13 years in the industry, Emma launched Emberlight to more fully align her practice with her values: education, empowerment, and partnership.
Emma specializes in helping individuals navigate major life transitions, with a particular focus on those going through divorce or separation. With deep experience and empathy, she works closely with her clients to rebuild financial clarity and confidence during what can be an emotionally and financially complex time. She also partners with nonprofit organizations to design and manage effective retirement plans for their teams, ensuring employees understand how to utilize their retirement benefits and answer their personal financial planning questions.
At the heart of Emma’s approach is a belief in collaboration. She sees financial planning not as a one-time event, but as an ongoing journey—and she is committed to walking alongside her clients every step of the way, offering education and support to help them make empowered decisions.
Outside the office, Emma is a proud mom to two daughters. Together, they enjoy all the natural beauty the Pacific Northwest has to offer—rafting wild rivers, skiing snowy slopes, hiking mountain trails, and camping under the stars.
