Lyn Dippel is a Columbia, MD and Annapolis, MD fee-only financial planner. Bay Point Wealth provides comprehensive financial planning, portfolio management, and tax planning to help individuals and families organize, grow and protect their assets through life’s transitions such as change in marital status, career change, or retirement. As a fee-only, fiduciary, and independent financial advisor, Lyn Dippel is never paid a commission of any kind, and has a legal obligation to provide unbiased, actionable financial advice.
As an executive and business owner for 15 years, Lyn Dippel understands many of the issues women executives and business owners face. She is skilled at listening carefully to ensure she provides guidance consistent with her clients’ values. Lyn has experience advising women as they negotiate transitions such as career and employment changes, selling a business, and retirement.
As a woman who has experienced divorce personally, Lyn is familiar with the complex and overwhelming array of decisions facing individuals during this and other transitions.
Lyn was an owner at her previous firm for 15 years, where she served as President, CEO, and Senior Wealth Advisor. She decided to join forces with Bay Point Wealth in 2020 to increase the focus on planning and taxes in conjunction with a sound investment philosophy that is more about capturing market returns, controlling what you can control, minimizing taxes and most importantly consistent with helping clients reach their financial objectives.
Lyn specializes in helping women experiencing life transitions such as marriage transitions, active partnership divestments, career changes and retirement. Her experience and opinions have been sought by publications such as Kiplinger’s, Smart Money Magazine, and Business Week*. She has guided many clients through various transitions, helping to turn their challenges and fears into confidence and positive outcomes.
Lyn believes strongly in giving back to the community. She enjoys mentoring young women both privately and as a mentor with Executive Alliance whose mission is to accelerate the success and leadership of accomplished women by expanding their impact and influence through advocacy, education and mentorship. She also serves as Board Member and Chairman of the Finance Committee for Samaritan House in Annapolis helping men on their journey to an addiction free life.
