Hi, I’m Brian Fry. I founded Safe Landing Financial to offer a one-stop shop for building and implementing a financial plan from start to finish.
My focus is to minimize taxes, optimize investments, and ensure you won't run out of money during retirement.
I am passionate in giving clients the peace of mind to enjoy retirement on their terms.
I provide financial planning, investment management, and retirement planning services in-person around the Los Angeles metro area and serve clients nationwide on a virtual basis.
The financial marketplace is a confusing place and I believe people deserve to have their best interest served by a fiduciary. As a fiduciary financial planner, I do not sell any financial products or take commissions.
I have worked in the financial services industry for nearly a decade in various financial planning and investment management roles.
When I’m not customizing financial plans and tailoring investment strategies, you can find me: traveling with my wife, searching for the best barbecue, and working to improve my Charles Barkley golf swing.
