Our Story

Tailwind Financial was created out of the existing CPA firm because our clients were consistently asking for help. They wanted to understand more about when and how they could retire, taking social security, and understanding their risk and insurance policies. Because many of our clients are business owners, this is often more complex than saving and investing a certain amount per year.

Further, our current clients who are medical professionals were receiving legal and financial advice that was not optimal for their unique financial and personal circumstances.

We realized that many financial advisors focus only on investment advice and managing assets under an AUM model, not necessarily assisting with the full financial picture and often leaving clients under-served and with sub-optimal results.

We wanted to do better, so instead of finding referral partners, we decided to start fully serving our clients ourselves.

About Us

Meet Your Advisors

We care for your finances like you care for your patients.

Diana Halenz

Diana spent the first 20 years of her career consulting with the health care industry for a national consulting firm. She worked on the revenue cycle for health care providers, strategy and operations for health systems, and in technology implementation for health care providers.

In 2014, she started Deep Dive Financial and attended Villanova University for a Masters in Taxation that would facilitate in depth tax analysis and optimization of clients’ complex tax situations. Ten years later, she recognized the need for client service that would anchor the different aspects of each client’s financial life into one hub and created Tailwind Financial to complement the re-branded Tailwind CPA.

Karyna Hawthorne

Karyna is a CFP candidate and currently lives in Connecticut with her husband, Ben, an orthopedic surgery resident. Karyna understands first hand how difficult it can be for a medical student, resident, or physician post-training to understand and optimize their finances. 

Karyna believes education for young physicians regarding their finances is essential for future success, ensuring that a plan is developed for loan repayment, retirement savings, and everything in between. She was inspired to join the firm with the hopes of helping other young students, physicians, and their families.
