Amber Schiffert
Co-Founder, Financial Planner
What Amber Does
Amber helps clients move from financial uncertainty to clarity and confidence. Her approach is grounded in empathy, education, and a deep commitment to making financial advice feel personal, not prescriptive. She partners with clients to align their financial decisions with what truly matters.
Background
Amber holds a degree in Communications and Political Science from San Diego State University, where she was an active student leader and member of Alpha Phi. After beginning her career outside the financial sector, she made a career shift in 2017 to follow a deeper calling: helping people improve their financial well-being.
After entering the industry, Amber quickly saw how outdated and transactional traditional financial services could feel—especially for women. That experience inspired her to help redefine what financial planning should look like. In 2023, she co-founded TARA Wealth with Amanda to offer clients a more modern, values-driven experience.
Why TARA Wealth
Amber co-founded TARA Wealth to create a firm where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered. She is passionate about bringing transparency, simplicity, and heart into a profession that has too often overlooked the human side of money.
Outside the Office
A San Diego native, Amber lives with her two fur daughters, Sookie and Penny. She enjoys discovering plant-based restaurants and recipes, exploring historic sites and cities, and staying active outdoors. Animal welfare is a cause close to her heart—she volunteers with her mother to help rescue and rehome animals across San Diego and Orange County.
What Clients Can Expect
Clients can expect a warm, thoughtful, and empowering planning experience. Amber blends technical expertise with a deep understanding of individual needs, helping each client take control of their financial future and build long-term success on their terms.
