CFP, ChFC, AFC
Adrienne Ross is a founding partner of APFORIA, LTD, fee-only Registered Investment Advisor built by advisors, for advisors. Alongside partners Sean Gillespie and Paul Allen, Adrienne launched APFORIA to address the real-world challenges they faced serving military families across all 50 states—particularly the complexities of multi-state compliance and the lack of RIA platforms aligned with their fee-only, fiduciary values. At APFORIA, she helps independent advisors thrive by providing a supportive structure, streamlined compliance, and the freedom to build practices that reflect their personal mission and client focus.
In addition to her role at APFORIA, Adrienne is the founder of Clear Insight Wealth Management, where she specializes in serving military and federal families, as well as families with special needs children. She brings more than a decade of experience in comprehensive financial planning, investment management, and business operations. As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, Chartered Financial Consultant®, and Accredited Financial Counselor®, Adrienne combines technical expertise with a deep commitment to client-centered service.
Advisors who work with Adrienne quickly recognize her passion for elevating the profession, removing barriers to independence, and creating space for meaningful client relationships.
She believes that when advisors are supported, focused, and empowered, they can do their best work—and make a lasting impact.
Outside of her professional life, Adrienne loves being a grandma and playing with her grandbabies. She enjoys spending time with her family, sharing recipes and other cooking adventures, and helping them stay connected even from different towns. When the sun is out, Adrienne can be found in the garden or out enjoying the Pacific Northwest mountains
