John Cortale founded Monumental Financial Planning with a simple goal: To make every client feel seen, welcomed, and burden-free.

Starting as an intern at Smith Barney to now leading a team of five dedicated professionals, John’s vision remains the same – empowering individuals to pursue their life goals and find confidence in their financial futures as they reach their work-optional phase of life.

Turning financial dreams into legacies.

Our mission extends beyond numbers; it’s about making a genuine difference in lives. Take the story of a single mother we once served – she didn’t consider herself wealthy but wanted to secure her retirement and leave a legacy for her daughter.

From 2002 to her passing in 2016, we nurtured her financial growth. Now, we continue to invest in her daughter’s future.

Your dreams, like hers, are the heart of our work, as we strive to shape enduring financial legacies that will echo through generations.

What makes us different?

Capital City Roots.

Our location at the heart of Washington D.C. isn’t incidental. Surrounded by historical symbols of resilience, we’re inspired daily to build enduring wealth for our clients. Just as these monuments have weathered time, we’re committed to ensuring your financial future does the same.

Enduring Commitment.

We don’t merely manage your finances; we build relationships for the long haul. Our young team, fueled by wisdom and foresight, stands ready to guide you toward the work-optional phase of life. We’re here for you today, tomorrow, and for the years to come.

Transparent Partnership.

As your fiduciary partners, our dedication is to serve you with impartial and sound financial guidance. Our fee-only structure ensures no hidden charges or commissions – transparency is our promise. We prize our independence, answering not to larger financial institutions but directly to you. Unlike many firms, we manage all financial planning and investment operations in-house, reflecting our commitment to maintaining the highest level of personalized service. We only do better when our clients do better.
