Who We Are

Christopher Michalman partnered with Integrated Financial Partners in 2003 to help clients take the next step in planning for retirement. Chris knows that plans are great, but the only thing that matters is what gets implemented. That’s why he works with clients to implement strategies and solutions to meet their specific goals in retirement, and he takes time to make sure clients fully understand how each strategy will help on the path toward financial independence.

Chris’s passion for the business drives him to continually work to improve his expertise on all matters related to financial services. Led by his goal of serving as a thought leader for clients and his team, he commits himself to constantly honing his industry knowledge and improving his professional skills. He spends much of his time attending conferences (both in person and virtual), reading books, listening to podcasts and participating in webinars. He has been accepted as member of the Mastermind network of The Perfect RIA, a select group of registered investment advisors from across the country who meet several times each year to learn from each other and develop ways to better serve their clients and firms. Chris’s constant drive to improve himself, his firm and the services he provides is evident in client meetings, as he frequently offers innovative solutions to help his clients reach their personal financial goals.

Prior to partnering with Integrated Financial Partners, Chris was a financial planner at both VeraVest and Allmerica Financial.

Chris has a bachelor’s degree in business communications and philosophy from Bentley College and is a Certified Financial Planner™ professional.

Chris is married to his college sweetheart, Marnee. They live in Derry, New Hampshire, with their son, Gabe, and German Shepard, Druzhba. Chris is a leader of the New Hampshire unit of ALERT Cadet (Air and Land Emergency Response Team), a nationwide leadership and discipleship program for fathers and sons. With Gabe as an active participant, Chris organizes meetings, coordinates service projects in his community, and teaches skills such as medical and survival training. The goal of the program is to help young men grow as leaders and in their faith.

Chris is a life-long learner who loves to read, travel and spend time in the beautiful New Hampshire outdoors. Chris and Marnee are also active members of their local church.

With over 30 years of experience in the financial world, Marnee brings a remarkable blend of technical expertise, process optimization, and client service to deliver a more seamless and thoughtful experience for you.

As Branch Operations Manager for our practice, Marnee oversees account maintenance and money movements, creates streamlined operational workflows, generates custom reports, manages tax letters, tracks RMDs, and so much more. She also helps prepare for client strategy sessions and oversees high-level projects to enhance our service model.

Marnee’s career began as an auditor at PricewaterhouseCoopers in Boston, where she transitioned to the tax side of the practice as a specialist in Mergers & Acquisitions. During that time, she also became a licensed CPA. She went on to serve as Tax Manager at Dexter Corporation and later as Tax Director at DEKA Research & Development Corporation. In 2015, she shifted to consulting and pro bono work to spend more time homeschooling her son and giving back to the community.

She holds a Bachelor of Science in Accountancy from Bentley University.

A lifelong learner, Marnee is currently embracing new passions – learning American Sign Language and how to play the piano. She also enjoys reading and uses knitting as her creative outlet (especially since, as she says, “knitting is artistic math!”). One of her greatest joys in life is her son, who is currently studying at Cedarville University.

Marnee and her husband Chris met at Bentley University and married in 1997. They share not only a deep love for each other but also a life of shared service. Together, they serve in various roles at their church, volunteer weekly with a local crisis pregnancy center, and work with high school students in different capacities. Working alongside Chris professionally has turned out to be one of Marnee’s favorite parts of the job – adding yet another beautiful layer to a partnership built on mutual respect, purpose, and admiration.
