About

Hi, I’m Ryan Kelly, founder & CEO of Aries Financial Navigators. I am a fee-only financial planner, investment manager, & tax professional based in Lititz, PA.

After earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics from the Pennsylvania State University, I went on to become a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, the received the Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor™ designation from the College for Financial Planning, & the Accredited Investment Fiduciary® mark from the Center for Fiduciary Studies.

I began my career in financial services in 2007, becoming a Registered Representative before transitioning to an independent multi-family office RIA in the Philadelphia area, where I focused on portfolio management & comprehensive financial planning for high-net-worth individuals & families. After specializing in planning areas including Social Security, Medicare, & in-depth tax planning & preparation, I moved back to my hometown of Lititz, PA to work with a local fee-only RIA focusing on retirees.

In 2019, I started Aries Financial Navigators to bring my vision of the ideal client experience and service model to life. Serving as a consultant to my former colleagues, I am part of a collaborative team with decades of experience while maintaining flexibility & independence. Our mission is to partner with clients & deliver incredible value by providing the highest quality services & meaningful results.
