Wealthfluence & Brightlight:
Navigating Faith-Driven Investing Together


Wealthfluence is partnering with the award-winning, global investment research team from Brightlight, spearheaded by Tim Macready.

RACHEL
MCDONOUGH

  • Rachel McDonough is the 2022 recipient of the Larry Burkett award from Kingdom Advisors and has over 20 years of experience helping generous, Christian families manage wealth in a way that truly reflects their faith values and priorities.

    In 2009, she caught the vision for FDI and made a bold decision to refocus her practice (Wealth Squared) more narrowly. Taking what she learned through her experience, she started consulting with asset managers and formally mentoring other Christian advisors to multiply kingdom impact.

    Rachel loves to equip other advisors and help them gain clarity on what God is calling to do in their vocation. She takes a relational approach, walking with them as they faithfully and effectively live out their callings.

    Rachel is a published author and frequent speaker on stewardship and investing. She serves on the advisory boards of Talanton and Eagle Venture (impact investing funds) and volunteers as a worship leader at church.
