Welcome to the Stellar Financial Services web site. We are pleased to offer this comprehensive interactive “magazine” for you to quickly find information about finances and investing.

Whether you are an established client, or a prospective client, the Stellar Financial web site is designed to enhance your financial future.

I’m Randy Hurtte, owner of Stellar Financial in Juneau, Alaska, and I’ve been a professional financial consultant for well more than two decades. My associate Teresa Bleakley has been with Stellar Financial since early 2007. Together we forge an effective and practical team to help our clients achieve financial success and independence through sound financial advice and planning.

I hold the widely respected Certificate in Retirement Planning from the prestigious Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. And I’m among a small group of professionals to hold the AXA Advisors' Retirement Planning Specialist title.

Both Teresa and I are seasoned and fully licensed financial consultants. We possess the knowledge and skills to work personally with each of our clients to develop a customized plan to achieve long-range individual financial goals and objectives.

For many years, Stellar Financial has assisted many government employees, teachers and others to achieve financial independence and security during their professional careers. And many clients continue to have Stellar Financial manage their investments into their retirement years, even after they relocate throughout the United States and sometimes to other countries.

Thank you for visiting our web site. We hope you bookmark it and use it to add value to your investment strategy.
