Calidris / 'kal·i·dris

A genus of highly migratory birds. These experienced flyers overwinter on the Andean Plateau and breed in the high Arctic, a 15,000 mile roundtrip trek. They demonstrate prudence, tenacity, and commitment to their goal.

Achieving financial independence is a dynamic journey – one filled with headwinds, tailwinds, and obstacles.

At Calidris Financial, we draw inspiration from nature. We help our clients navigate life’s challenges with time tested guidance to remain focused on the goal, just as Calidris has done for millennia.
