Tyler B

CFP®, Series 63, Series 66

Raleigh, NC

RFG Advisory, LLC

I’m Tyler Brown, CFP®, founder of Turnpoint Wealth in Raleigh. I work with professionals in their 50s and 60s who are getting close to retirement or have just made the move, when decisions about income, taxes, Social Security, healthcare and investments start to depend on each other. Most of the people I work with have done the right things for decades. What they’re missing is a clear picture of how it all fits together once the paycheck stops. I build that picture year by year, then help coordinate the decisions as real life replaces the projections: which accounts to draw from first, whether Roth conversions make sense, when to claim Social Security, how to cover healthcare before Medicare, and what to do with company stock or RSUs. I start every meeting by asking what matters most to you before we get to my list. As a CFP® professional and investment adviser representative, I act as a fiduciary when providing financial advice to my clients. Before founding Turnpoint Wealth in 2025, I spent 18+ years at Fidelity Investments, Fisher Investments and Edelman Financial Engines. I’m an NC State graduate, and outside the office I fly, follow hockey and spend time with my wife, our daughter and our two dogs.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
