As I look back on the last year, I have never been more confident that we are doing just that. What I'm most grateful for, however, is that because of Ryan's approach, our conversations have been FAR more valuable than simply checking a box.

Reason for working with Ryan Johnson, CFP®, BFA™
I had conversations with other advisors and got the feeling they just wanted to sell me products on which they would earn commission. Their advice was very general, and they didn't take the time to understand my unique situation and goals before making recommendations.
As soon as I looked at Ryan's website, I knew he was the type of advisor I wanted to work with. We had an initial meeting to review some items, followed by another meeting with my wife to go into more detail. However, I knew after the first meeting we were going to work with him.

His personalized approach and his ability to explain things in a very down-to-earth and easy-to-understand way made us feel sure we were in good hands
Experience working with Ryan Johnson, CFP®, BFA™
Our experience working with Ryan since early 2024 has been fantastic. Every meeting we have is filled with incredible insights, and we always leave knowing he really gets us and that we are on the right path.
Ryan has taken the time to get to know us and understand our family's goals, and thanks to his thoughtful and friendly approach, we have also become good friends.

I highly recommend Ryan as a Financial Advisor, especially to anyone with a young family.

Our Ideal Client Profile
Our ideal clients are professionals and families in their 30s and 40s who are doing well financially but want to feel more in control and intentional with their money. They’ve built momentum; strong income, growing investments, maybe equity compensation, but they’re also balancing major life goals and want a clear plan to tie it all together.
They’re busy people who value expertise and want to delegate the details: optimizing taxes, managing investments, organizing cash flow, and making sure estate and insurance plans are buttoned up. They’re not looking for a quick stock tip or the next hot investment—they’re looking for a long-term partner who can help them make smart, coordinated decisions with confidence.

Our clients care about using money purposefully, to support their family, career, and future, without letting finances dominate their time or energy.

- Dual-income households earning $200k–$600k who want a coordinated plan

- Professionals with RSUs, stock options, or equity compensation

- Anyone wanting to reduce tax drag and keep more of what they earn

- People who have multiple goals—retirement, home upgrades, kids, travel—and need help prioritizing

- Families ready to get estate documents, insurance, and cash flow in order

- Professionals who want an advisor to handle details so they can focus on career, family, and life
We're Probably Not A Good Fit If
✗ People looking for quick stock tips or market predictions
✗ Individuals not yet saving or managing cash flow consistently
✗ Families unwilling to share tax returns, benefit info, or other key details we need to build a complete plan
✗ People seeking commission-based products or one-time portfolio management without broader planning
