Understanding the Financial Challenges Engineers Face

Engineers often face unique financial complexities due to the nature of their profession. From managing substantial student debt to navigating diverse income streams and preparing for retirement, the financial landscape for engineers can be overwhelming. Understanding these challenges is the first step toward creating a financial strategy that ensures long-term success.


At Buttonwood Financial Group, we specialize in helping engineers manage their finances with personalized solutions tailored to their specific needs and goals.

  • Complex Income Structures

    As a corporate executive, you are likely surrounded by professionals, each designed to help manage a certain part of your financial life. From external resources like CPA’s to Attorneys, to internal contacts like your personal assistant – each person has their role. We have found it very common that these people operate in silos and don’t talk with one another. As your Family CFO, we are able to see the complexities and strategies and connect the dots when needed. We bring it all together.

  • Retirement Planning with Employer Plans

    401(k)s, 403(b)s, IRAs, and supplemental savings vehicles all have a role to play. We design retirement strategies that fit your career timeline and employer benefits.

  • Tax Implications of Variable Income

    Engineers working on contract, project-based work, or with incentive comp must plan for fluctuating income. Our tax planning integrates seamlessly with your earning patterns.

  • Managing Risk Personally & Professionally

    We guide you in managing liability, evaluating insurance needs, and protecting your growing assets so you can move forward with peace of mind.
