About Late Bloom Advising
Why Late Bloom?
Late Bloom is an homage to how we tend to get busy with "life" and allow things to slip through the cracks or go unaddressed no matter how important they are, but then realizing there's still time left to accomplish your goal and move forward to act on it.
The lotus flower starts it's life from murky waters, yet manages to grow into a stunning flower. The symbolism it represents is inspiring; through difficult situations and hard times, growth can lead to beautiful outcomes.
Why a lotus flower?

Our Founder
Nicole Brown-Griffin
AFC®, CFP®, CDFA®, EA
From a young age I became interested in the topic of Finance where my goal became to learn about money; how to grow & protect it and help others learn about it too.
Not wanting an “office job” immediately upon graduating from college, I bartended & served tables as a waitress. Knowing that I needed to keep a pulse on the finance and tax industry, I learned how to prepare taxes. Years later I decided to get back on track and study for the Accredited Financial Counselor® designation. A couple of years later, I built upon that knowledge and received my CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification. Following my interest and curiosity, I sought out to become a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst®. Adding the Enrolled Agent designation made sense based on my years of experience preparing taxes and compliments my financial credentials.
