We help our clients save time, save money, and make money by making wise financial decisions. Hi I'm Ryan and I love what I do! I founded Weiser Financial Planning LLC after working many years in the corporate world. I chose to open WFP because I wanted to create a business with a noble purpose where I could combine my entrepreneurial side with my passion for helping people to make wise financial decisions. I believe that money is just a tool and that it's important to help people connect their money with the things that are most important to them. I like to say, "money without purpose is like eating cereal without milk, it might taste ok - it's just not as satisfying." I have worked in the financial services industry since 2000 working for several Fortune 500 companies. Over those years I have consulted with hundreds of financial advisors from various financial institutions including banks, insurance companies, wirehouses, and independent broker/dealers. Through this experience I have had the opportunity to help thousands of clients and positively impact their lives. One of my driving motivations in building a new financial planning business was to differentiate from the Wall Street firms, banks, and insurance companies that sell proprietary products with sales incentives, and conflicts of interest that are intended to maximize company returns at the expense of clients. As an independent RIA we are completely free to focus on our clients and what's in your best interest. Schedule a time for a conversation > https://weiseradvisor.com/schedule

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.
