Grace Lee
Financial Professional
I grew up in Rhode Island and continue to call it home, where the ocean, an active lifestyle, and a strong sense of discipline have always been central to my life. Through fitness and commitment to personal growth, I learned early the value of consistency, focus, and showing up with intention. Those principles shape how I approach my work today and set the foundation for my philosophy around thoughtful, long-term financial planning.
In late 2023, I joined Newport Financial, partnering closely with Beth through mentorship and collaboration. Since then, I help clients turn financial goals into actionable, long-term strategies. With a focus on retirement planning and wealth management, I serve individuals, women, and business owners who value clarity, confidence, and a personalized approach.
My philosophy—Invested in You—means every recommendation is designed to align with your future vision. I believe strong financial decisions are built through education, transparency, and trusted partnerships.
Driven by high standards and thoughtful planning, I remain committed to excellence, delivering guidance designed to preserve, grow, and sustain your financial future.
I believe that everyone deserves to feel confident about their financial future, —whether it's planning for retirement, building wealth, or creating a lasting legacy.
At our firm, we have the client—and only the client—in mind.
Our reasons for becoming financial professionals are deeply personal. We repeatedly saw many friends and family struggling to find the help they needed to map out their financial future. We are confident that with our understanding of personal finance, coupled with our training as financial professionals, we can help people better prepare for the future. After years in the business, we have strived for a reputation for educating individuals in an easy-to-understand manner so they can grasp personal finance and use those concepts to pursue their financial objectives. We feel a commitment to our community.
