Hi! I’m Amy King, Founder of Instar Financial Planning, LLC. I’m a retired Army officer married to a Federal civilian. Over the years I had trouble finding a financial professional who did REAL financial planning and who understood the unique features of military and Federal employee benefits. So I did my best to become the type of professional I searched for throughout my Army career.
I am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER(TM), a Military Qualified Financial Planner, and a Chartered Federal Employee Benefits Consultant(sm). I’ve intentionally built my expertise and my firm to help Military Veterans, Federal employees and their families achieve their financial goals by leveraging our unique benefits and to navigate the challenges we face as we serve our country and communities.
I have an appreciation for those who prefer to “DIY” their finances but want a second opinion to validate/ provide feedback on all the work they’ve put into managing their finances. But, I also realize some people want more help sometimes. I’ve specifically designed my process to serve the DIYers but also those who want to outsource some or all of their financial planning needs on their terms.
Prior to launching Instar Financial Planning I worked at a large wealth management firm. While I truly enjoyed working with my team and our clients, my calling is to serve Military, Veterans, and Federal employees. I wanted to provide the expertise our selfless public servants deserve through a service model they can embrace.
In my “free time”, you can find me keeping up with the day-to-day lives of my adult/ adult adjacent “kids” or volunteering with the Women’s Army Corps Veterans Association, Penn State Parents Council, or the Mason-Dixon Trail System. I also enjoy hanging with my yellow lab, Polly, who always knows just how to keep me in my place.
