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.
