Hello! I’m Andrew, the Founder of AJD Wealth Management. I have been in the financial services industry for over a decade and earned my CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ Designation in 2017. Since 2017, I have worked exclusively as a fee-only financial planner. Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to work with a wide variety of clients including retirees, pre-retirees, busy families, corporate retirement plans, etc. Prior to starting AJD Wealth Management, I was with a large fee-only firm in Cincinnati; and prior to that, a giant insurance company selling financial products. With AJD Wealth, I get to focus on what I enjoy most - building relationships with my clients, delivering great financial plans, and managing money. I am on the board of the Financial Planning Association (FPA) Southwest Ohio chapter and I am a member of the XY Planning Network. AJD Wealth is a fee-only advisory firm for busy families and retirees who are tired of only meeting with their advisor once a year and who don't want to be just another number at a large firm. Our clients are looking for a partner who can help them grow & preserve their wealth. Finances are personal; and a good, collaborative relationship is the bedrock of a solid financial plan. The goal of AJD Wealth is to consistently deliver a boutique-level of service to our clients.

About the Firm Balance Life Planning was created to help mid-career individuals and families find balance between the financial and lifestyle needs of today, tomorrow, and legacy. Our approach combines the core tenets of financial planning: Investment Strategy Tax Planning Cash Flow/ Retirement Planning Insurance Analysis Estate Planning Furthermore, we offer planning catered to families that have more complex compensation such as stock options, RSUs, Employee Stock Purchase Plans (ESPP), etc. We utilize the latest technology available to deliver a seamless client experience that includes a planning portal, secure vault for planning documents, tax planning tools, and more. About Me I was born and raised in Canton, OH and relocated to the Cincinnati area to attend Xavier University. During that time, I met my wife Erica, and we settled in Villa Hills, KY. We have three beautiful daughters: Molly, Taylor, and Charlotte. We enjoy traveling, various sports, and dogs (we have three dogs Rev, Louis, and Teller). I started in the Financial Services industry at a large investment firm in 2011. During my nearly 10 years there, I worked my way from customer service, through various trading positions, to a book of clients of over 900 high-net worth households that I assisted with planning and investing. In February 2015, I earned my CFP® marks (CERTFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™). In September 2020, I decided it was time for a change that offered a better life balance and client experience. I joined a smaller firm in Blue Ash, OH, as a Senior Advisor. During that time, I gained valuable experience working through complex planning scenarios with high-net worth clients, managing day to day operations of the firm, and was closely connected to a first-class CPA firm. Of the thousands of clients I've had the privilege to serve, several carried ranging degrees of regret around their financial planning path. Most of which sounded like: "if I knew then what I knew now, I would have...". I have designed Balanced Life Planning to meet clients and families where they are earlier in life to create better financial outcomes.

From there we'll visit all aspects of your financial picture to set you on the path to holistic wellbeing. Reach out to schedule a conversation about your goals. If I'm not the right fit for your pain points I'll help you find the service that is - which is my ultimate duty as a fiduciary advisor. I look forward to connecting!
