As a fee-only financial planner, my focus is to offer unbiased financial advice to help you achieve your life goals. - Bryan Zschiesche, CFP®, MS, MBA

Fee Only Financial Planner and Wealth Manager serving the Houston, TX area and clients nationwide

Bryan Zschiesche is a Houston, TX fee-only financial planner. Financial Synergies Wealth Advisors provides comprehensive and objective financial planning to help clients organize, grow and protect their assets through life’s transitions. As a fee-only, fiduciary, and independent financial advisor, Bryan Zschiesche is never paid a commission of any kind, and has a legal obligation to provide unbiased and trustworthy financial advice.

In 2003, just before he joined Financial Synergies Wealth Advisors as a financial advisor, Bryan Zschiesche was pursuing an entirely different profession: Estate Law. However, when his former classmate, Heath Hightower, asked him if he was interested in joining a financial advisory firm instead, Bryan made the leap. The following weeks were a whirlwind.

Bryan withdrew from law school, got married, moved to Houston, and started his career at Financial Synergies, all within a span of 30 days. Now he’s a shareholder at Financial Synergies and has been working with clients to secure their financial futures for over 17 years.

Bryan is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, and he uses his expertise to develop investment strategies to protect and grow clients’ retirement savings. Bryan is a proponent of Elegant Simplicity, the idea that we can work through complex issues surrounding a financial problem and arrive at a sophisticated but simple solution.

Bryan is a member of the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA) and the Houston chapter of the Financial Planning Association. He was named to Investopedia’s 100 Top Financial Advisors of 2020. Bryan graduated summa cum laude from Texas Tech University with a degree in Finance and holds two graduate degrees from Texas Tech – a Master of Business Administration and a Master of Science in Financial Planning.

Bryan, his wife, Cele, and two sons, Hudson and Carson are Fulshear residents and active members of St. Peter’s United Methodist Church. Bryan has a passion for Scouting and serves as the Cubmaster for Cub Scout Pack 1182. Bryan earned the rank of Eagle Scout in 1998 in Longview’s historic Troop 201 and is a member of the Houston Eagle Scout Association. When he’s not helping clients, you can find Bryan and his family hiking in the mountains of Colorado.

Financial Synergies is a fee-only Financial Advisor located in Houston, Texas. For more than thirty years we’ve been serving the financial needs of individuals, families, and businesses from around the world. When we take on new clients they become part of our extended family, and in the past three decades we’ve developed multi-generational relationships with many of them.

Our primary goal is to simplify your financial life. Our Certified Financial Planner™ professionals and advisors combine investment management and holistic planning to provide total wealth management for our clients. Together, we’ll construct a financial game plan and investment strategy to meet your goals, and give you greater confidence in your future.

Financial Synergies Wealth Advisors is formally structured as an independent Registered Investment Advisor, and we adhere to the highest fiduciary standard. Our clients’ interests are our top priority. We work on a fee-only basis and do not sell commission-based products. This enables us to be objective and free from conflicts of interest when making recommendations to clients.

Our Advantage

  • Fee-only: We are paid only by our clients. Most firms in our industry operate on a commission-based or fee-based approach. Commission-based firms get paid on the financial products they sell, and fee-based firms combine commissions and fees. There are huge conflicts of interest when advisors get paid by the product company providers. We simply do not engage in this.
  • Fiduciary: We took a Fiduciary oath to act in the best interests of our clients at all times.
  • Holistic: We look at your whole picture. We don’t just manage money. We provide comprehensive financial planning and investment management to create a total wealth management experience for our clients.
  • Boutique: We are a highly specialized financial advisory firm offering customized services, and our clients experience a high-touch relationship.
