Meet Hunter Weinert, CPA, financial advisor and founder of Lynden Financial Planning.

Hunter grew up in Lynden and returned after graduating from Dordt University because he wanted to help people make meaningful financial decisions with clarity and confidence. He focuses on thoughtful, holistic planning — and when he’s not working with clients, he’s likely road-biking, playing pickleball, or spending time with family and friends.
