About Tony Chan, CFP®, EA
Hi, I'm Tony Chan, Registered Investment Advisor & Tax Specialist at Crossroads Planning.I was born in Hong Kong, China. Upon graduating from high school, I served six years in the Army Reserve as an Automated Logistical Specialist (92A). After receiving my acceptance letter from California State University of Fullerton's ROTC program, I moved to Orange County to further my education.
Upon graduating from California State University of Fullerton with a Bachelor's Degree in Finance and minoring in Military Science, and after receiving my commission from California State University of Fullerton Army ROTC, I decided to pursue my goal of becoming a Certified Financial Planner™ practitioner.
I have more than ten plus years of experience in financial planning and tax services. I have extensive knowledge in advising clients from various income levels on comprehensive retirement plans, portfolio analysis, tax planning, debt & risk management, and estate planning.
I have made contributions to articles in publications such as InvestmentNews and Capital Ideas. I am also a proud member of the Orange County Financial Planning Association, The National Association of Personal Financial Advisors, and the XY Planning Network. I was a nominee for the 2016 class of InvestmentNews 40 Under 40 and a nominee for the 2018 class of CPA Practice Advisor 40 Under 40.

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.

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 support@wealthtender.com with a link to the provider’s profile, indicating the review in question and the reason you believe it violates our guidelines.
