Hi, I’m Brian Tegtmeyer, CFP®, a flat-fee financial advisor based in Dublin, Ohio. I specialize in tax-smart planning for new retirees who want to make the most of the first 10 years of retirement, without compromising the rest. The first years of retirement are often your healthiest and most active, but they’re also when the biggest financial decisions happen: Social Security timing, Medicare enrollment, withdrawal strategies, Roth conversions, and more. The choices you make now will shape the rest of your retirement. With over 15 years of experience as a financial advisor, I’ve dedicated my career to helping new retirees make confident, tax-smart decisions during this pivotal window. Here’s what working together looks like: *Reduce lifetime taxes with proactive Roth conversions and withdrawal planning. *Create an income you can’t outlive. *Navigate Social Security and Medicare with clarity and confidence. *Keep your plan updated as life and tax laws change. I intentionally serve a limited number of families so every client receives high-touch, personal guidance directly from me. My flat annual fee means no commissions, no hidden costs, and no percentage-of-assets charges. You’ll always know exactly what you’re paying and exactly what you’re getting. I’ve seen too many retirees look back with regret, wishing they had enjoyed their healthiest years more fully. My mission is to make sure that doesn’t happen to you. When I’m not helping clients plan their retirement, I’m likely with my wife and our three kids, cheering at gymnastics, biking, playing pickleball, or schooling my kids in a game of four square.

Blue Advisors is a fee-only financial planning and investment management firm based in Columbus, OH, serving retirees and busy professionals throughout the region and across the United States. The firm was intentionally structured as a solo practice so clients work directly with a seasoned professional who brings deep perspective, sound judgment, and consistency to every financial decision. Over two decades of advising through multiple market cycles has shaped a disciplined, practical approach to financial planning. Blue Advisors focuses on comprehensive planning that integrates retirement planning, investment management, tax-efficient strategies, and estate planning coordination. Advice is grounded in real-world experience, not trends or sales incentives, and is tailored to each client’s goals, complexity, and stage of life. Clients benefit from continuity and accountability that only a single-advisor firm can provide. There is no handoff to junior staff, no rotating service team, and no competing incentives. Every plan, portfolio, and recommendation is developed and monitored by the same advisor who understands the client’s full financial picture and long-term objectives. Investment strategies emphasize evidence-based principles, thoughtful portfolio construction, and risk management designed to support long-term financial independence rather than short-term market speculation. Planning is proactive and evolves as life circumstances, tax laws, and market conditions change. As a fee-only fiduciary, Blue Advisors is committed to transparency, objectivity, and acting in clients’ best interests at all times. The firm serves busy professionals, pre-retirees, and retirees who value experience, clarity, and a trusted long-term advisory relationship with a professional who has seen both calm and challenging markets—and knows how to navigate them.

Prior to founding Columbus Wealth Management, Matthew provided investment advice and financial planning services to over 100 families at his prior firm. He also served as the firm's Director of Research and played a key role in the investment philosophy and portfolio construction which impacted nearly $2B of assets across 800+ households. In addition, he was responsible for various software implementation initiatives, several of which played a critical role in allowing a seamless transition to remote work at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Matthew is always looking for opportunities to improve both personally and professionally. After years of diligent studying and multiple exams, he earned his CFA Charter in 2018 and his CFP marks in 2019. While Matthew isn't afraid to tear into spreadsheets, tax returns, financial statements, and analyze investments, his true passion is meeting with and serving his clients. Clients appreciate his ability to take an incredibly complex situation and break it down into relatable terms that are easy to understand. Matthew lives in downtown Columbus with his partner, Braden. They love spending time with family and friends and staying active. Their top vacation destinations are visiting family in South Carolina and Florida, snowboarding in Colorado, and cruising in the Caribbean!
