Richard Buchan CFP^® is a founding partner of 180 Wealth Advisors. He uses his professional experience in taking a planning-based approach to helping individuals and families build, manage, and preserve their wealth. Rather than beginning with investments alone, Richard works with clients in developing their portfolio around their specific financial needs, priorities, and long-term goals.

This comprehensive approach may include creating sustainable income, improving tax efficiency, establishing disciplined savings strategies, planning for major purchases, and developing thoughtful gifting and charitable-giving strategies during and after their lifetimes.

By coordinating investment decisions with tax, debt, retirement, estate, and cash-flow considerations, Richard’s goal is to help clients in making informed financial decisions by building a practical plan that can adapt to their changing lives, needs, and goals. Richard makes it a priority in helping individuals who want to be more intentional with their finances.

Richard is a graduate of Washington State University where he majored in Finance with a minor in Economics. He lives in the Seattle area with his Wife and three grown children. During his spare time, he enjoys anything that has to do with lakes, rivers, the ocean and mountain snow.
