About the author

Cameron Zabko

Cameron Zabko, Certified Financial Planner®, is a wealth advisor and the founder of Westhollow Wealth Management, where he helps families, business owners, and individuals take control of their financial futures through holistic financial planning, estate strategies, and investment management. With a strong focus on protecting family legacies, he ensures his clients have a clear, actionable road map that secures their assets and avoids costly mistakes.

Cameron’s passion for financial planning is deeply personal. His late uncle, a financial advisor himself, introduced Cameron to the world of detailed, intentional estate planning. After witnessing the financial complexities left behind despite careful preparation, Cameron was driven to help others avoid the stress, confusion, and unnecessary financial burdens that often come after a loved one’s passing. He saw firsthand that estate planning is more than just legal documents—it’s about ensuring that families have the knowledge, guidance, and preparation they need to navigate life’s most difficult transitions.

As a CFP® professional with a bachelor of business administration in finance from the University of Georgia’s Terry College of Business, Cameron has spent years helping families and business owners create estate and financial plans, manage wealth, and prepare for the unexpected. His insights have been featured in NerdWallet and industry periodicals, and he has advised clients through complex financial situations, including business succession planning, multigenerational wealth transfers, and high–net worth estate strategies. Before founding Westhollow Wealth, he played a key role at a leading wealth management firm, where he guided over 100 clients through critical financial decisions and helped facilitate the transition and sale of his uncle’s firm after his passing.

Westhollow Wealth was built on purposeful planning for a lasting legacy, a philosophy that shapes the firm’s unique approach. Unlike large financial institutions that focus solely on investments, Cameron believes in a fully integrated strategy that blends financial, tax, and estate planning to create security for generations. His firm is designed to provide personalized, fiduciary-level guidance, ensuring each client has a plan tailored to their specific needs.

Originally from Vermont, Cameron now lives in Milton, Georgia. When he’s not working with clients, he enjoys traveling internationally, trying new restaurants, and cheering on University of Georgia Athletics football. He also dedicates time to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, serving on fundraising committees and supporting research efforts.
