Building Legacies Of Financial Success
Guiding business owners, professionals, and families through life's meaningful financial transitions.
Who We Serve
We work with clients navigating financial transitions and growth. Whether you're a business owner planning your exit strategy, a professional preparing for retirement, or a family focused on creating a lasting legacy for future generations, the Spitfire team is here to provide the attention and tailored wealth management strategies your unique situation deserves.
Our clients value relationships where communication flows easily, where questions are welcomed and answered thoroughly, and where financial guidance reflects their personal values and goals. They appreciate an advisor who takes the time to understand their unique circumstances and who demonstrates the same care and attention to detail that they would apply to their own financial future.
How We Help
We design financial plans that reflect your unique life circumstances, not cookie-cutter solutions. By truly understanding your goals and what matters to you, we create wealth management strategies that align with both your financial situation and your personal values.
We build and maintain investment portfolios aligned with your financial goals and comfort with risk. Our approach focuses on disciplined investment selection, thoughtful asset allocation, and regular monitoring to help navigate changing market conditions while keeping your long-term objectives in view.
The shift from building wealth to using it requires thoughtful planning. We help you envision and structure your next chapter, creating dependable income streams and a plan for you to fully take advantage of the retirement you’ve dreamed of.
Your business represents years of dedication and relationships. We help translate your vision for its future into practical steps—whether selling, transferring to family, or empowering employees—while preserving the legacy you've worked so hard to build.
Beyond just transferring assets, we help you convey what matters most. Our approach focuses on meaningful inheritance planning that reflects your values—incorporating tools like wills and trusts to create efficient transfers, protect assets, and potentially minimize taxes. We provide guidance and education on estate planning strategies that align with your overall financial goals and create positive impacts for the people and causes you care about.
Tax considerations affect nearly every financial decision. We help identify potential tax-saving opportunities and develop strategies aimed at reducing your tax burden. Our integrated approach considers the tax implications of investment choices, retirement withdrawals, and legacy planning to help you keep more of what you earn.
What Our Clients Are Saying
"Brian, Jeff, and the crew at Spitfire Financial are top notch financial professionals. Brian has worked with my family for 25+ years. As a retired individual, a parent, and grand parent I can't thank Brian enough for his years of thought provoking advice. He is thorough, knowledgeable, and more than willing to listen and teach. Without his professional assistance and kindness, we would be looking at a different picture of retirement. Brian has advised and managed saving money, but also has advised on property ("diversification is good") matters, guiding us in buying, financing, and managing issues. He has other professionals he has worked with, and willing to refer to those that he has experience with. Knowing and working with Brian has been a true blessing for me and our family. He has advised in saving, changes needed with 410Ks, estate planning, and tax implications. He also can throw in a bit of HS Volley ball and Basketball if needed. I would encourage you to give him a call for future financial planning If you are thinking of seriously planning for a more successfully stable financial future. Spitfire Financial is the best!!!!"

Our Commitment
The Spitfire legacy began in 1937 when Brian's grandfather, George O. Lethert, commissioned a wooden Class C Hydroplane Racing Boat. As a hardworking young IRS agent, he named it "Spitfire" after the legendary British fighter plane known for its exceptional performance and victories during World War II.
That same spirit of craftsmanship, determination, and victory lives on today at Spitfire Financial Group. For over 25 years, we've been helping Montanans navigate their financial journeys with the same attention to detail that went into restoring that original wooden boat - a family heirloom that represents our commitment to building something that lasts for generations.
At Spitfire Financial Group, we believe some core principles like trust, honesty, integrity, and transparency should never change. These values form the foundation of every client relationship and inform every recommendation we make.
