Peter Watson CFP®, ChFC®
I’ve been a Financial Advisor for over 20 years, earning the designation of CFP® in 2012. As a Financial Planner for The Prudential Insurance Company of America, I assist and guide individuals and small business owners on a range of financial issues.
When I work with clients, I’m committed to building and maintaining close relationships founded on the basis of trust, respect, and integrity. My aim is to help you achieve peace of mind with your financial planning strategies.
The comprehensive approach I use helps you understand where you are today, have a clear vision of where you’re going, and develop strategies to reach your desired destination. My philosophy is that the more knowledge you have, the more empowered and confident you’ll feel about achieving your goals.
In the summer, my family likes golfing and being near the water. In the winter, you can find us skiing or snowboarding in the mountains. Since I discovered my passion for tennis, I have enjoyed picking up the racket in my free time.
James Watson
Since 2013, I’ve been a Financial Planner with The Prudential Insurance Company of America with offices in Vancouver and Olympia. Using an integrated approach to retirement planning, I focus on creating wealth management, portfolio implementation, legacy planning strategies, asset allocation, life insurance, long-term care insurance, and estate planning strategies.
My goal is to help provide you with financial independence. I believe open communication, honesty, compassion, and trust are the keys to building long-lasting relationships with clients—and I’m dedicated to helping you create pathways to achieve your financial objectives.
My family lives in the Salmon Creek area of Vancouver, WA. When I’m not watching our kids participate in youth sports activities, I enjoy a round of golf with friends. I also like exercising, spending time with friends, and exploring new destinations with my family.

I was born in the Philippines and moved to the United States in 2014. I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration and began my career in the financial industry right after I graduated.
In 2018, I joined Prudential as a Financial professional. This career move was an essential part of my mission and vision because I love to connect with people and help my clients fulfill their financial goals and plans in life. One of my passions is to learn more about the industry and to continue to develop and hone my skills as a financial advisor. I understand that the trust and respect of my clients and peers are integral to my professional growth.
In 2021, I received my Accredited Investment Fiduciary designation and I constantly apply these standards in my practice and with clients. I consider it a fulfilling career and a blessing and more so when I became a part of the Watson Watson Financial Services Team in 2022.
I married my highschool sweetheart, Michael who is currently serving in the United States Navy. We live in the Kitsap Peninsula area of Washington with our 12-year-old son, MJ. I love weekend getaways and spending quality time with family and friends. One of the joys of my life is to co-serve with my husband Michael, who is one of the leaders in our church community. I am inspired by these words taken from the second chapter of the book of Philippians, verses 3-4: “Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interest but also for the interest of others.” These verses have left a lasting impact on my heart and continue to apply this principle as a guide in both my personal life and my career path.

I first visited Seattle while living in Boston, where I attended Newbury College, and moved to the PNW due to the amazing geography, temperate climate, and friendly folks. As a 25+ year resident of Tacoma, I enjoy playing on and around the South Sound, sharing my deep culinary passion with close friends and extended family, volunteering, learning through travel both local and beyond, and staying curious.
I always enjoy meeting new clients and look forward to helping you achieve your own unique financial dreams.

In 2020, I joined Watson and Watson and became a Financial Advisor for the team. My background in sales and initiative campaigns included contract jobs for the State and Federal governments. With this experience, I developed a dedication to service, ethics, and professionalism.
I’ve spent my entire life in Washington. I grew up in Olympia, went to college in Spokane, where I studied Political Science, and then moved to Seattle. My wife and I now live in the Wedgwood neighborhood of Seattle. We enjoy spending sunny weekends on Puget Sound—and many of the endless outdoor activities the Northwest has to offer.
