As Founder and Chief Compliance Officer of NorthPoint Financial Planning my guiding principle is to be the financial advisor that I always wanted to hire before becoming one; that is, one who: ♦ develops a strong relationship and a nuanced understanding of each client's goals and expectations ♦ does the 'legwork' and research before recommendations are made ♦ provides specific recommendations based on experience and thorough analysis ♦ offers full transparency regarding compensation received for services My areas of expertise include: ♦ Financial Planning ♦ Investment Management ♦ Small Business Retirement Plans ♦ Insurance Analysis Prior to founding NorthPoint Financial Planning, I enjoyed a successful career serving as director for a diversified financial services enterprise; providing insurance and asset management solutions to financial advisors and their clients. My experience includes over 30 years of helping clients to achieve their personal, business or plan sponsor related financial objectives. I have served as Past President of the Columbus Chapter of the Society for Financial Service Professionals, a multidisciplinary network of professional advisors including those designated as CFP, CPA, JD, CLU and ChFC. The Society's mission is to support the highest standards of ethical and professional achievement and to promote awareness by the general public of the benefits of working with a professionally designated advisor.

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.

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.

Your Financial Pharmacist was started in 2015 with a primary mission to help pharmacy professionals on their path towards achieving financial freedom. Through his experience of paying off $200,000 in debt, Tim Ulbrich, PharmD (YFP CEO) quickly learned that many pharmacists were struggling with mounds of student loan debt and a feeling of being overwhelmed and living paycheck-to-paycheck despite having a six-figure income. This led him to create the Your Financial Pharmacist blog in 2015 to encourage a community of pharmacists and pharmacy students to live a life free of financial stressors. In 2017, Tim teamed up with Tim Church PharmD (YFP CMO), to co-author Seven Figure Pharmacist: How to Maximize Your Income, Eliminate Debt and Create Wealth and he then eventually joined the team. Around that time, Tim Ulbrich met Tim Baker, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (YFP COO...that's me!), who had been serving pharmacists by providing fee-only financial planning services. Together they created the Your Financial Pharmacist Podcast in July 2017, which now has over a quarter-million downloads. In 2019, all three Tims joined forces merging the blog, podcast, book and financial planning firm under the Your Financial Pharmacist brand. The Tims also speak to pharmacy school and organization across the country and YFP is a strategic partner with the American Pharmacists Association (APhA).
