Our Leadership

Shawn J. McCabe | CPA/PFS, CFP®, MSA, MBA

CPALLIANCE® DIRECTOR | PARTNER

After serving ten years of active military service and completing a combat tour in Afghanistan, Shawn started his career in financial planning and investments in 2007. Joining the industry at the beginning of the “Great Recession” allowed him to quickly learn that the stock market can be unpredictably cruel, and at the same time, extremely rewarding to those who stayed the course. Also, during that time, he and his clients became an invaluable part of each other’s lives. They relied on him to get them through the worst markets in years. He learned more about life, trust, perseverance, and the undeniable need for clients to have genuine and executable plans. 

As a Financial Advisor and the CPAlliance® Director with CPS Investment Advisors, Shawn’s passions and profession are aligned. He gets to enrich and grow the CPAlliance® program by helping CPAs become CPA financial planners and teach them how to help clients achieve or protect their financial independence. His ability to understand and break down the most complex problems, along with his broad professional experience, uniquely equips him to be the perfect coach, mentor, and trainer for the CPAlliance® members, as well as, advise clients on how to achieve and protect their financial independence. 

When he’s not helping CPAs and clients plan and execute, he can be found spending time weight training (or binge watching the next great Netflix series) with his wife Amy, playing guitar and singing worship tunes with his daughters, Emma and Isabella, or rooting Ethan on as he pursues his accounting degree and CPA at FSU. 

Shawn earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration and an MBA from Saint Leo University and a Master of Science in Accounting from Purdue. He earned a Certificate in Financial Planning from Florida State University and became a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNERprofessional in 2011.

Rachael A. Saviñon

CPALLIANCE® ASSISTANT DIRECTOR

A twin, and youngest of eight, Rachael recalls a hectic but happy childhood. She was versatile in her youth, an athlete, but also loved to sing. Coordinating who got the car, competing for rides to soccer practice and chamber choir rehearsal were routine struggles. But the real struggle had yet to come. Rachael was 6 when her mother passed, and it was this event that would shape her perspective, understanding life as a gift that shouldn’t be taken for granted. From then on, she was determined to live a life of gratitude, experience the world and life to the fullest, and take every opportunity to treasure the ones she loves. 

Born with a sense of adventure and love for the outdoors Rachael’s escape from the hustle and bustle of life was always the water, be it a Lake, river, or ocean, made no difference her. However, there was one special place that trumped all the rest. Lake Henderson. Rachael could always find peace here, floating in the quiet of the cypress trees, with backdrops of indescribable sunsets. Here is where she and her now husband, Leo, decided to marry. In 2014 They exchanged vows at the end of her father’s dock on Lake Henderson with a small group of family and friends. 

First came love, then marriage, a house, some pets, and a couple of kids. Rachael’s life is no less hectic, and she wouldn’t have it any other way. These days, Rachael enjoys adventuring with her family. She still loves to sing, but now it’s to an audience of two (her kids) while waiting in car line before school. It wasn’t always easy, but she’s some-how learned to thrive in the chaos of life, grounding herself with faith, humility, and an overwhelming sense of gratitude. 

To pay it forward, Rachael believed that life’s blessings would best be shared by serving others. Armed with a B.S. in Human Services from Southeastern University, experience in case management, banking and finance, Rachael’s journey led her to those searching for financial freedom. With education and guidance, she would help clients navigate the complexities of investing. A few steps further down this path brings her to present-day acting as the CPAlliance® Assistant Director at CPS Investment Advisors, specialized in building an industry of trusted CPA Financial Planners.
