I founded Earndex to help others find and remain on a path to financial security. I have deep expertise in all subject areas of financial planning including investments, retirement planning, insurance, tax planning, employee benefits, estate planning, and more. My job is to ensure you stay on course to achieve your long-term financial goals. While I work with a broad range of clients, I have significant experience working with business owners, particularly with solo service providers. Outside of work, I am a dedicated husband and father of two. I enjoy skiing, golf, and cooking for family and friends.

I founded Overture Wealth Management to help pre-retirees, retirees, and small business owners make smart, tax-efficient financial decisions. My approach emphasizes clear guidance, low-cost investing, tax minimization, and disciplined portfolio management. I began my career at UBS in Pittsburgh in 2003. Early in my career, I recognized that the traditional brokerage model didn’t fully align with my vision of putting clients first. I joined Vanguard in 2004, where I spent 14 years developing expertise in retirement planning, investor education, and portfolio management. Before founding Overture, I served for six years as a Wealth Manager at a Philadelphia-based RIA, advising high-net-worth families, small business owners, physicians, and executives. I hold both the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® and Chartered Financial Analyst® designations and live near Philadelphia with my wife and two daughters. Outside of work, I enjoy skiing, biking along the Schuylkill River Trail, and cheering on the Steelers and Pitt Panthers. Whether you’re nearby in the greater Philadelphia area or elsewhere in the U.S., I’d be happy to arrange a complimentary introductory meeting to discuss your financial goals.

My name is Rob Stromberg. I’m a CFP® and the founder of Mountain River Financial. I provide fiduciary and fee-only advice, investment management, and financial planning to six-figure earners in their 30s and 40s. I focus on helping clients make wise and purposeful decisions with their money so they can live a rewarding life today while building wealth for a successful tomorrow. With insight gained from my time working at an institutional wealth management firm in Connecticut where I consulted with other independent advisory firms to help them build better portfolios for their clients and more efficient overall advisory practices, I got my CFP® certification and founded Mountain River Financial so that I could begin working directly with my core client market of high-income earners under 50. I’m an active member of NAPFA and the XY planning network and am a frequent contributor to publications including The Wall Street Journal, US News & World Report, The Washington Post, Investment News, CNN Business, Nerdwallet and Yahoo! Finance, among others. Above all else, I’m committed to being the best husband and dad I can be. When I’m not manning the helm at Mountain River, you’ll find me enjoying quality time with my wife Kara, son Noah, daughter Addison, and our dog Autumn. We love spending time at the shore, generally enjoying the outdoors, and hanging together with our large extended family around the mid Atlantic.

You have worked your tail off to establish yourself and are looking for some help with the growing complexity of your financial situation. You’ve probably had a few jobs by now, a few different retirement plans, and maybe you’re staring at a growing checking or savings account that you know you should do “something” with, but just aren’t sure where to start. Or, you’re still looking at student loan balances and wondering when they will ever be gone. Traditional financial advice has exclusively catered to older people with large nest eggs to manage (read: bill), leaving younger people with water cooler advice and whatever Google suggests. Or, worse yet, they’ve had to get a financial plan from an insurance agent that just wants to sell them life insurance. Eek. All of this is crazy to think about. Younger people make a tremendous amount of financial decisions that ultimately lay the foundation for the rest of their financial lives, and yet they won’t see the impact of most of their decisions for decades. Marriage, family, moving, buying cars, new jobs, retirement plan selections, and on and on. All of these decisions have financial impacts I worked for large national firms that encouraged us to work with clients that had the most money. Over time, I found I wasn’t enjoying it as much as I enjoyed working with younger clients. I wanted to hear about new jobs, new houses, babies, etc. I found that I just really preferred to help younger clients make great financial decisions in alignment with what’s important to them and that’s why I started Meaningful Wealth Management LLC. My clients don’t think of their money as a balance, but rather what it can do for them. Maybe it’s a certain trip every year, or a certain trip every year when they stop working. Or, maybe it’s retiring earlier than their parents did. Perhaps it’s an addition to their home so Mom doesn’t ever have to be far away. Whatever it is, let’s build a financial plan to help you accomplish the goals that are meaningful to you. It’s no accident most of my bio was spent talking about you! That’s what’s important, after all. But, since you’re here to check me out…I’m a CFP® practitioner, a Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor™, and a fee-only, fiduciary financial planner that specializes in Gen X and Gen Y. I also specialize in the employees of Merck and helping them make the most of their benefits. I leverage technology to meet clients wherever they are (at home in PJ’s is fine!) and use it to make their financial planning experience enjoyable. I’m a “dog person,” and I genuinely love financial planning. I look forward to meeting you!
