Kess Stackhouse

Client Services Associate II Registered Representative, RJFS

For me, financial guidance is about far more than numbers— it’s about people, their stories, and the moments that shape their lives. I bring both knowledge and empathy to every conversation.

My philosophy is simple: life is stressful enough, and your finances shouldn’t add to the chaos. I believe knowledge empowers people, and I’m passionate about helping clients feel confident and supported during some of their biggest decisions. Whether someone is navigating a major milestone or just trying to make sense of their options, I aim to be the calm, steady presence they can rely on.

The best part of my job is the relationships I build. I love getting to know clients, hearing about their families, swapping weekend stories, and being the person they trust to call first when something important comes up. Hearing stress melt away from a client’s voice is the moment I work for.

Outside of work, I’m usually adventuring through Oregon’s parks with my husband, Dakota—camping, fishing, birdwatching, or rockhounding. When the weather turns rainy, I’m cozied up with a book, junk journaling, catching up on reality TV, or spending time with family and friends. And yes, I am a devoted Lady Gaga fan, which anyone who knows me will happily confirm.
