Meet the Founder/CEO

Peter McCaffrey has been a cellist with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra since 2012, and was previously the principal cellist of the Louisville Orchestra. After getting married and having their first child, Peter and his wife decided to seek out professional financial advice. Instead of finding the expertise they sought, however, they seemed to only find glorified insurance salesmen, or wealth managers who charged exorbitant fees. And so, sfp: Sound Financial Planning was born.

Always passionate about personal finance, Peter completed his training through Boston University's Personal Finance program, and The Externship - "the premier training program of the financial planning profession". Peter has developed a unique perspective on the music industry having served on 4 consecutive negotiating teams for the DSO musicians, as well as being the musician rep on the DSO's finance committee, financial blue print committee, audit committee, investment committee, and Board of Directors. Now it is Peter's goal is to leverage his knowledge and experience to help fellow musicians achieve financial peace of mind, allowing them to focus on what matters most in their lives and careers.
