Our MissionEducating women toward financial freedom.

Pearson Financial Planning exists to give women the knowledge, clarity, and confidence to make insightful decisions about their financial future — especially during the life transitions that change everything.

As a Fee-Only fiduciary, we never sell products or earn commissions. Our advice is yours alone, and our partnership is built on education first, action second, and a long-term relationship that grows with you.

You don't have to navigate your transition alone. We provide options so our clients feel confident and empowered to make smart financial decisions.

Meet Your AdvisorThirty-five plus years of guiding women through life's pivot points.

Diane M. Pearson, CFP®, CeFT®, has spent her career helping women navigate the financial decisions that arrive alongside life's biggest changes — divorce, the loss of a spouse, retirement, an inheritance, or a career shift. As a Certified Financial Transitionist®, she's trained to recognize these moments as far more than a financial event, and to guide her clients through them with patience and clarity.

A graduate of Robert Morris University with degrees in Accounting and Management, Diane now serves on the Board of Advisors for the university's Finance Department and mentors students through its Women's Leadership program. Outside the office, she's part of the leadership team for Pittsburgh's 100 Women Who Care and volunteers with NAPFA's Women's Initiative. She lives in Pittsburgh with her family.
