About Melissa Arbuckle
About Melissa Arbuckle

Welcome!


I am passionate about helping my clients uncover what's most important to them, so that we can create a customized and comprehensive financial plan aligned to their values. My clients and I often share values of gratitude, generosity, and purpose.


My goal is to create an inclusive and expansive practice that is welcoming to a diverse market. I especially enjoy connecting with women and minority entrepreneurs and am an ally of the LGBTQIA+ community.


I have lived in Eagan, Minnesota since 2001 when I moved back to the area with my husband and our three children. My family has grown up, and I am now a mother-in-law and new grandma! Family is one of my most important values. In addition to my immediate family, I am lucky to have a large extended family and expanded network of people who are important to me.


I attended Rosemount Middle School and Rosemount High School but graduated as part of the first graduating class of (the then brand new) Eagan High School. I have degrees from Inver Hills Community College, Hamline University, and LSU-Shreveport.


In my free time, I enjoy spending time outdoors hiking, kayaking, cold water swimming, boating, and snowshoeing. I love attending local theater productions and serve on the board for Walking Shadow Theatre Company in Minneapolis. I'm always happy to recommend a show, if you're looking for something to see around town. I have a wide variety of other interests as well: professional sporting events, dancing, yoga, and piano. I love learning new things because it helps keep me young.


I look forward to meeting you and having a conversation about how I might be a financial resource for you or someone you know.


Money is a tool, not a goal.

Money is a tool — one that can help you build a purpose-driven life of gratitude and generosity. Let's connect for a conversation about what's most important to you personally and financially. I'm able to provide individualized financial guidance to people at all stages of life. Let me show you how to create money plan that reflects your values and purpose.

Let's put your plans in motion.

Want to pursue lifelong dreams — while supporting people and causes you care about? The right guidance can help you get there. Tell me where you're at today. Driven by your goals and values, I'll help you map out a path to a more secure financial future.
