ABOUT PHOENIX
Real conversations lead to practical guidance and better decisions.
Phoenix Financial Group was built for people who want clarity, not confusion. Our role is to help you understand the rules before they become expensive surprises.
OUR SERVICES
Educators come first, always.
Shawn Kuntz began working with educators in the Wichita area in the early 2000s and saw the same issue repeatedly: people were making major financial decisions without complete information. Phoenix Financial Group grew from that insight. Today, the mission is the same: explain the rules, identify blind spots, and implement coordinated strategies with care.
Our S.E.E. framework helps keep strategizing practical and organized.
Our S.E.E. approach gives you a clear path from information to action.

Let's talk about your next decision.
If you are preparing for retirement or want a clearer strategy for what comes next, we are here to help.
Personal Approach
We take time to understand your priorities and goals, offering support that feels grounded, relevant, and genuinely helpful.
Clear Guidance
We explain the law in plain language so you always understand your options without jargon, confusion, or overwhelm.
Steady Support
Whatever the issue, we help you make confident decisions backed by clarity and consistency.
Process
Let’s turn your ‘someday’ retirement goals into a calendar.
After decades of experience in personal finance, we find very few clients are looking for “more information.” You want the right information. You want a plan that keeps things coordinated, easy to understand, and thoughtfully evolving with you over time.
• PART 1
Clear explanations that stick
You’ll leave meetings with a simple summary of what we decided and what happens next.
• PART 2
Planning that respects real life.
Your plan is built around your goals, your timeline, and your family—not a generic model.
• PART 3
Legacy-forward by design
We help you organize the details now so your family has clarity later.
