Built Around What Matters

We Work With People, Not Portfolios

Blacka Financial Consulting is a family-owned financial planning and independent insurance practice based in Pittsburgh, PA. With no investment minimum requirement, we serve younger families just getting started, pre-retirees mapping out their next chapter, blue-collar households that have never had an advisor in their corner, and small-business owners who need more than a one-size plan.


As an independent financial advisor, we hold no proprietary products and no loyalty to any single carrier. That means every recommendation we make is built around your situation — not a product shelf.

Our Approach

What Makes an Independent Advisor Different?

Most financial firms are built around their own products. When you walk in, the recommendation is shaped — at least in part — by what that firm sells. We operate differently.


Because we're independent, we shop your situation across multiple insurance carriers, annuity providers, and planning strategies. Our income comes from the carriers and products we place — not from steering you toward a house brand. That's what "independent" means in practice, and it's a distinction worth asking about when you're comparing advisors.
