About Breakaway Financial Group

You Didn't Build Your Business by Accident. Your Wealth Shouldn't be Either.

Most entrepreneurs don’t have a money problem; they have an execution problem.

They’re smart. They earn well. They make good decisions in their business.
Yet their personal finances feel fragmented, reactive, and overly dependent on guesswork.

At Breakaway Financial Group, we exist to change that.

We help entrepreneurs build wealth intentionally, using a clear system that removes friction, automates progress, and creates confidence over time.

No noise.
No market theatrics.
Just disciplined execution.

The Breakaway Difference

Traditional financial planning is built for retirees. Advice-heavy. Product-driven. Slow to adapt.

Entrepreneurs need something different. They need:

#1: A clear strategy, not generic advice.

Most financial advice sounds good but lives in theory.

We start by creating clarity around your entire financial picture, cash flow, taxes, investments, and long-term goals, so every decision is connected to a larger strategy. No disconnected recommendations. No one-size-fits-all plans.

You always know why something exists and how it moves you forward.

#2: Execution Built In; Not Left to Chance

Advice without execution is just a good conversation.

At Breakaway, implementation is part of the process. We help put systems in place, coordinate moving parts, and follow through; so progress happens whether life gets busy or not.

This is how plans turn into outcomes.

#3: Automation That Creates Momentum

Willpower fades. Systems don’t.

We design your financial life to work automatically in the background, from saving and investing to tax planning and cash flow management, so wealth building becomes consistent and predictable.

The goal isn’t perfection.
It’s momentum without friction.

Our Story; Our Philosophy

Our philosphy is directly connected to the story that initiated the creation of Breakaway Financial Group

Our Story

Breakaway Financial Group was built out of frustration with the traditional advisory model.

Our founder, Patrick Traverse, experienced it himself as a client of an advisory firm:

He was being given advice, but left alone to implement it without any financial planning guidance.

As a former professional athlete, Patrick understands discipline, systems, and long-term execution. Wealth building, like elite performance, isn’t about doing everything at once; it’s about doing the right things consistently.

That mindset shaped Breakaway.

Today, Breakaway works primarily with entrepreneurs who want clarity, structure, and a partner who actually helps move the plan forward.

Our Philosophy

We believe:

  • Wealth is built through discipline and time, not prediction.
  • Automation beats good intentions.
  • Complexity is the enemy of consistency.
  • A plan without execution is just paperwork.

 

This philosophy guides everything we do, and just as importantly, what we don’t do.

A Team Built for Execution

Clients don’t hire Breakaway for one person; they hire a process supported by a team.

Our team is designed around:

  • Implementation
  • Follow-Through
  • Ongoing Optimization

 

Every role exists to support one outcome: making sure your financial plan actually gets executed.

This team-based approach allows us to stay proactive, responsive, and focused,  without relying on a single point of failure.
