A Letter From Our Founder, Luong Pham
I was born in Vietnam in 1967, but my story—and Axim’s story—begins long before I ever thought about financial planning.

Find Your Independence
As an independent advisory firm, Axim Planning & Wealth puts clients at the center of every decision. We simplify a complex financial world with holistic planning that connects investments and risk awareness to what matters most to you. Our focus is straightforward: clear guidance that supports your path toward long-term independence.
Our Mission
First and foremost, we are fiduciaries. That means your needs guide every recommendation. Our mission is to challenge the status quo with thoughtful planning, clear communication, and a coordinated team in estate, tax, and wealth planning, all working together under one roof.
Our Vision
We envision a more human financial industry where independent advice, real partnership, and intentional planning replace one-size approaches. We want to work with people who value clarity, collaboration, and a long-term view of what their money is meant to support.
Our Process
Our process is designed to connect the moving parts of your financial life. We start with discovery, build an intentional strategy that fits your priorities, and coordinate estate, tax, and wealth planning as one plan. Then we stay involved through regular reviews so your approach remains aligned as life changes.
Hard work built your wealth. Intentional planning gives it direction.
