Megan Parrish CFP®

Managing Partner

After earning a degree in math, I started my career as a high school math teacher. I’ve always had a strong desire to coach, tutor, and teach, these days it’s just a different demographic. When I knew I wasn’t destined for life as a math teacher I sought out something entirely new. I started as the office manager for Berkeley in 2015. Since then I’ve worked my way through several positions at Berkeley to become a Certified Financial Planner® and one of the managing partners. Starting as the office manager has given me an important set of skills to understand exactly 'how the sausage is made' from start to finish in working with clients.

I am involved in financial planning for nearly all new and existing clients. If you have a question, I will know where to find the answer. My favorite thing about working as a financial advisor is learning and sharing knowledge about a very wide array of topics. I like to call us the enablers of your success. If you have an idea, we can find the best way to execute it. Financial planning is so much broader (and more fun!) than many people understand. It’s not just dollars and cents, it how you feel about the money you have and what provides you the satisfaction you seek from money.

Life Outside Work

I am a native Idahoan and I grew up in Jerome (go tigers!). I am a busy body to the nth degree. You will always find me doing something up and about. I love trying new restaurants, getting outside, reading, taking care of plants inside and out, playing sports of any and all kinds, trying out new hobbies, and going to new places. Variety is the spice of life! I am a volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southwest Idaho as a 'Big' and a member of the Junior League of Boise. I have a daughter, Poppy, three dogs, and a cat (I told you, I like to be busy). You will oftentimes find one of my dogs greeting you as you come in the office.
