About Us

Connor Ross Gaffney, CFP®

Founder/Financial Advisor

After nearly a decade guiding clients through life’s transitions and market cycles, I launched Victory Peak Wealth Management to cut through industry noise and focus on what matters most: provide independent, fiduciary advice focused on each client's unique goals and circumstances.

As the firm’s founder and lead advisor, I am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®) professional and the sole owner of Victory Peak Wealth Management. The firm operates independently and adheres to a fiduciary standard of care— meaning we strive to place clients’ interests first at all times. I continue to collaborate with a network of experienced professionals I’ve worked alongside since the early years of my career. This partnership allows Victory Peak to combine the resources of an institutional platform with the personal attention of a boutique advisory services firm.

Beyond the Office:
Outside the office, my faith and family remain my foundation. I give back through active community volunteerism and maintain balance by playing competitive hockey year-round and golfing each summer.

Our Approach:
Victory Peak Wealth Management is committed to helping clients make informed, confident financial decisions through thoughtful planning and transparent advice. Together, we will strive to summit your financial goals without compromise.
