Founder and advisor
Ewan Morkel, EA
While studying at Utah Valley University and working at various tax firms, Ewan pursued and obtained the Enrolled Agent license. He later graduated with a B.S. in Personal Financial Planning.
Ewan founded Morkel Financial to provide personalized tax preparation and planning to individuals and small businesses. Morkel Financial Planning extends that planning mindset into fiduciary advisory work through Fiduciary Organization, LLC.

Planning philosophy
Education first, then implementation.
Morkel Financial's tax practice is built around a simple belief: clients should understand where the numbers come from and how decisions today can reduce surprise later. The advisory practice applies the same philosophy to investments, retirement, cash flow, equity compensation, and business-owner planning.
The goal is not to make financial planning feel more complicated. It is to put the important pieces on one table, explain the tradeoffs clearly, and help clients move forward with fewer blind spots.
What shapes the work
Three principles behind the client relationship.
Tax context matters
Taxes should not run the whole plan, but ignoring them can make otherwise reasonable decisions less effective.
Fiduciary alignment
The planning relationship is designed around client-first advice through Fiduciary Organization, LLC.
Ongoing adjustment
Business income, markets, tax rules, family priorities, and goals change. The plan should be reviewed with that reality in mind.
