About

Matt Gulbransen has been a Financial Advisor for over a decade and has been featured on CNN, FOX, ABC and NBC networks. Locally, he has been cited in the Star Tribune. Matt is also the author of ‘How to Find a Financial Advisor You Can Trust’. With a deep set of integrity-based principles and values instilled at a young age by his parents, Matt has remained one of the rare advisors who puts his client’s needs and goals ahead of his own.

Growing up on a farm, Matt learned at a young age that being prudent, careful and caring of your finances is how you ultimately create financial security. With that philosophy, Matt and his team at Callahan Financial Planning have a growing group of clients who continue to be provided with objective and honest strategies of how to ensure they live a comfortable lifestyle throughout their retirement years.

Despite Matt’s humble beginnings, right out of college he was selected by Morgan Stanley as one of their Financial Advisors assigned clients who required the utmost care and the best investment advice available. He then left the “big bank” world because he didn’t want to be in a position where his decisions were driven by specific financial products.

Moving on to a local community bank, Anchor Bank, Matt spent 8 years in their independent platform. Finally, he decided it was time to have total control for clients and acquired Callahan Financial Planning, an independent financial planning and investment advisory firm.

Matt’s philosophy from that point forward has always been to remain fiercely independent and to provide his clients with the right advice for their exact situation.

His primary financial planning philosophy continues to be based on thorough preparation to create a financial plan that ensures a dependable and comfortable retirement income. Matt’s offices are located in Woodbury and Apple Valley, MN.
