Hi, I’m Brian Tegtmeyer, a CFP® professional in Columbus, OH. I started Truly Prosper Financial Planning LLC with a mission to help people make more intentional choices about their retirement.
Why? Because in my 10+ years of working as a financial planner, I realized that most people think of "retirement planning" only in terms of the financial factors that will provide economic security. However, a successful and fulfilling retirement experience requires planning and preparation in all areas of life. Money can act as a tool for achieving goals in the areas of life, but financial security alone cannot bring about happiness, good health, meaningful relationships, meaningful activities, life satisfaction, or a sense of purpose.
That's why I use a financial life planning approach to retirement planning, which will help you:
- Identify and clarify your true values and priorities.
- Guide you in creating a vision for your ideal retirement.
- Build a True Wealth retirement plan that supports your vision.
The following qualifications and memberships help me provide excellent retirement planning services.
Qualifications and Memberships:
- CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®)
- 10+ years of financial planning experience
- Member of the following organizations:
- National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA)
- XY Planning Network
- Financial Planning Association
- Kingdom Advisors
- Money Quotient
- The Advisor Growth Community (AGC™)
In addition to these organizations, I also participate in several Mastermind Study groups with other financial planners passionate about lifelong learning, growth, and accountability. These organizations and groups challenge me to keep growing and help me deliver excellent retirement planning advice.
When I’m not building retirement plans, I enjoy spending time with my wife and 3 kids, reading a good book, or going on adventure walks. I’m also an active member of my local church and serve as a trustee.
Let’s discuss how I can help you plan your retirement.
