As a fee-only financial planner, my focus is to offer unbiased financial advice to help you achieve your life goals. - Shaun Melby, CFP®
Fee-Only financial planner located in Nashville, TN, serving clients locally and across the country

Shaun Melby is a Nashville, TN fee-only financial planner. Melby Wealth Management, LLC provides comprehensive and objective financial planning and investment management to help clients organize, grow and protect their assets through life’s transitions. As a fee-only, fiduciary, and independent financial advisor, Shaun Melby is never paid a commission of any kind, and has a legal obligation to provide unbiased and trustworthy financial advice.
My name is Shaun Melby and I am the founder of Melby Wealth Management, LLC. At the time of my certification, I was one of the youngest CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ practitioners in the country.
I have over a decade of experience in the financial industry while working closely with some of the biggest names in music. I believe the financial planning process is the best way to create and maintain wealth, so I formed Melby Wealth Management to help as many people as possible work towards achieving their dreams and obtaining financial peace of mind.
I grew up in Onalaska, Wisconsin and moved to Nashville, Tennessee in 2005 to earn a BBA in Finance as well as Music Business from Belmont University. My wife and I call Nashville, Tennessee home and in 2019 we welcomed our daughter Monroe into the world.
During my spare time, I enjoy going to Nashville Predators games, cheering on the Green Bay Packers, checking out the local dining scene, traveling, playing with our dogs Hank and Bo, and spending time with family and friends. I also serve as Treasurer for the Crieve Hall Neighborhood Association.
