About

Mike Burkhart, CFP®

83 Financial was founded on a simple idea: financial planning should feel like a conversation, not a sales pitch. We're an independent, fee-only advisory firm — that means no commissions, no product quotas, and no hidden incentives. Just advice that's in your corner.

Mike has spent over 20 years in the financial services industry, with that majority being in wealth management and direct client facing roles. After seeing the inside of small private firms as well as large Fortune 500 corporations, he wanted to offer advice and services that align with core values of putting the client first, no matter what.

In his spare time, Mike enjoys reading, spending time outdoors, and playing men's league ice hockey. His wife Samantha has always been a huge source of support. He loves watching his daughter (8) do gymnastics and helps coach his son (6) in hockey and lead the Cub Scout den.

Mike prides himself on attention to detail, and believes that communication is a form of respect. Clients deserve responsiveness and clear information. The goal is simple: be better than yesterday.
