As a fee-only financial planner and fiduciary, I have the opportunity to guide clients toward financial fulfillment — helping them find balance between living their best lives today and reaching their goals for tomorrow. - Lindsay Elwood, CFP®

Let’s build the future that matters most to you. Serving clients locally and across the country.

Elwood & Goetz Wealth Advisory Group is an independent fee-only financial planning and investment management firm with offices in Atlanta; Athens, Georgia; Charleston, South Carolina; and Naples, Florida. Helping clients navigate their financial future is a responsibility we take seriously. And it’s an opportunity we cherish deeply.

As a fee-only firm and legal fiduciary, we are solely devoted to our clients’ success. That means our clients will always get objective, unbiased, and evidence-based financial advice centered around their best interests.

Elwood & Goetz specializes in personalized and comprehensive financial planning, retirement planning, investment management, and tax planning to help clients organize, grow, and protect their assets through life’s transitions. We do all the heavy lifting and day-to-day optimizations to manage your financial life — so you don’t have to.

We are grateful to now serve more than 450 families across 35 states, and we’re proud to have an annual client retention rate above 99%.

Lindsay Elwood oversees all operations of the firm, and especially enjoys creating new firm efficiencies utilizing technology advancements. She has extensive experience and expertise in tax-efficient investment/portfolio management as well as in financial planning strategies relating to business owners, women, and university faculty/administrators.

Considering only 23% of Certified Financial Planner™ professionals are women, Lindsay is passionate about mentoring + encouraging young women entering the male-dominated industry, and is extremely proud of the diversified make-up of the E&G team.

Lindsay graduated with Honors from Texas Tech University, completing a degree in Personal Financial Planning (summa cum laude). Lindsay grew up in Wyoming, studied in Texas, lived abroad in Spain, and worked in Miami before settling in Athens, Georgia + founding Elwood & Goetz.

Lindsay Elwood is a Member of the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors

The National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA) is a leading professional association of Fee-Only financial advisors - highly trained professionals who are committed to working in the best interests of those they serve.

NAPFA members live by three important values:

  • To be the beacon for independent, objective financial advice for individuals and families.
  • To be the champion of financial services delivered in the public interest.
  • To be the standard bearer for the emerging profession of financial planning.

At Elwood & Goetz, our comprehensive and personalized financial advice is always centered around our clients’ unique situation, needs, and goals. We value our independence and fiduciary duty. That means you will always get objective, unbiased, and evidence-based advice. Plus, our 100% fee-only structure helps ensure that our success is only measured by your success.

As one of the most educated, trusted, and credentialed advisory teams in the country, we prioritize quality, effective, and responsive client service. We started with just one client and the promise to show up every day to deliver our very best work. And even as we’ve grown, we’ve held closely to this mission.

To maximize the value of our process and comprehensive management services, we are best suited to serve clients with at least $1,000,000 in investable assets who are ready to delegate all of their financial planning and investment management.
