About Me

I’m Praveen Krishnamurthy, the founder of Empower Financial — an advice-only financial planning firm dedicated to helping technology professionals achieve financial independence and peace of mind.

With over 15 years of experience in software engineering — including leadership roles at Google and as a startup co-founder — I understand firsthand the unique financial challenges and opportunities faced by tech professionals, immigrants, and high achievers. My own journey as a tech professional navigating the complexities of equity compensation, tax planning, and wealth building informs every client relationship.

I specialize in guiding clients through the intricacies of equity compensation (ISOs, RSUs, ESPPs, and more), optimizing tax strategies, and creating actionable plans for financial independence (FIRE). My approach is deeply empathetic, practical, and rooted in real-world experience — empowering you to make confident decisions, whether you’re a DIY investor or seeking a trusted partner for your financial journey.
