Matthew Rumery

After a successful career in Information Technology at a local aerospace and defense company, I transitioned into financial planning to focus on what I found most meaningful: helping people make thoughtful decisions about their money and their future. I earned my CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ designation in 2024 and founded Custom Fit Financial to serve individuals and families who are often overlooked by firms with high minimums or product-driven models. Custom Fit Financial is a fee-only, advice-only firm based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I work with clients nationwide through a virtual planning model and also offer in-person meetings for clients in the Cedar Rapids area. My services are provided on a project-based and hourly basis, with no long-term contracts, commissions, or account minimums. My work often focuses on retirement and pre-retirement planning, tax strategies, and helping DIY investors gain clarity and confidence. I believe financial planning works best when it is personal, understandable, and flexible. My role is to help clients simplify complex decisions, avoid costly mistakes, and build a plan that fits their life and values. I offer an initial complimentary 30-minute conversation so we can explore your goals, answer questions, and determine whether working together feels like a good fit.
