Build the Stress-free Retirement You Deserve

Bobby Cremins is a fiduciary financial advisor in Philadelphia, PA. Metanoia Financial specializes in helping clients who are nearing (or in) retirement develop an investment strategy to create a sustainable lifetime income while leaving a legacy for the people and organizations they love. As a fiduciary, Bobby Cremins has a sworn and legal obligation to put the interests of the client first and to provide unbiased and trustworthy financial advice.
My name is Bobby Cremins, and I’m the founder of Metanoia Financial.
A few quick notes about me:
- I’m a Christian, a husband, and a father, and these are the three titles I hold most dear
- I love people and numbers, so I became a financial planner
- I work primarily with retirees to help them create an investment plan to generate an income they can't outlive
- I’m really into healthy eating, and I try not to eat processed foods and added sugars…but I do cheat
- I used to play “real” sports, but now that I’m older and terrible, I play pickleball :)
Here’s my bio summed up in five bullets.
- I started off in finance, working at a regional bank, SunTrust, helping people with more transactional needs like opening home equity lines, loans, checking accounts, money market accounts, etc.
- I found that I really enjoyed finance because it brought numbers to life, but I wanted to build deeper, lasting relationships with clients, so I moved into wealth management / financial planning at Morgan Stanley (then Smith Barney)
- I was recruited to move to Merrill Lynch/Bank of America as the world seemed to be falling apart. I thought I was moving to a more secure financial institution…ha!
- As I watched what seemed to be the demise of modern finance and capitalism with it, I stumbled onto Biblical stewardship via Crown Financial and Financial Peace University
- After seeing a different approach to personal finance, I started Metanoia Financial to provide Biblically-based financial planning and advice

As your Personal Chief Financial Officer, we will be there for you every step of the way to help you manage your finances. From budgeting and saving to investments and insurance, we can help you achieve financial peace through strategic planning and management as your Personal CFO.
Developed while working at top Wall Street firms, we have a different approach to managing personal finance. Using our approach, your ‘Financial House’ starts with a solid foundation and builds upon that to help you achieve your goals and reach financial peace.
You aren’t going to take on the task of building a house without three things – a blueprint, raw materials, and a builder/architect.
Blueprint – your financial plan and this is our starting point. I believe everyone needs a comprehensive, personalized financial plan. How can you reach your goals without a plan?
Raw materials – the different strategies we use to build the “rooms” of your financial house. Insurance, estate plan, retirement, etc.
Builder/Architect – we act as your builder and your architect. We design the blueprint (your financial plan), use the raw materials to build the house that you desire for your family, and find sub-contractors to help with the work as needed.
If the Financial House concept doesn’t work for you, let’s try this. We offer two broad services – Financial Planning and Investment Management.
