Christine Byrne, MBA, CRPS®
Partner
Wealth Advisor
I started in the financial services industry right out of college because I wanted to help people understand what to do with their money. Not knowing how to begin, I was fortunate to land in the back office of Commonwealth Financial Network®. I never left! In 2000, Chris and I moved to Portland, Maine. With his help and support I began my own advisory practice, growing and evolving into the Back Cove Financial you see today.
My start in the back office gives me an operations perspective to my work; I deliver an objective, candid approach to your situation. Commonwealth is an independent broker/dealer, and I grew up with that same fiercely independent spirit. As a fiduciary asset manager, I put your interests first, always.
I am proud of being in this industry for my entire career, with headline events that include the Tech Bubble, 9/11, The Great Recession, COVID-19 Pandemic, and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. My years of experience with uncertainty can serve you well for whatever may come next. I continue to be passionate about helping people make strong financial decisions and am excited to consider what the future holds for investment opportunities.
I grew up in Massachusetts, went to college in California and now proudly call Maine home. I live here with my husband, Chris, and our two, true Mainer sons, Jack and Gavin. We love to be outside and we love to travel. Thank you for the opportunity to work together.
