Today’s conversation in the suite is about extraordinary journeys with Megan Gorman. Megan is the Founder and Managing Partner at Chequers Financial Management, a female-owned high-net-worth tax and financial planning firm in San Francisco, California, that started nearly 8 years ago.
Megan’s financial career began when she took her first tax class at Rutgers Law School after earning a B.S. in history from Bryn Mawr College and studying in London. Her insatiable curiosity and passion for exploring financial issues through the lens of psychology, culture, and history has spawned a specialization in tax planning, a firm with a single premise: to establish long-term, lasting relationships best to serve the needs of high-net-worth individuals and families.
Driven by this passion, she spent almost 20 years advising wealthy families on navigating their financial lives in her roles at Goldman Sachs and BNY Mellon Wealth Management before starting Chequers.
