Hi, I’m Brian Tegtmeyer, CFP®, a flat-fee financial advisor based in Dublin, Ohio. I specialize in tax-smart planning for new retirees who want to make the most of the first 10 years of retirement, without compromising the rest. The first years of retirement are often your healthiest and most active, but they’re also when the biggest financial decisions happen: Social Security timing, Medicare enrollment, withdrawal strategies, Roth conversions, and more. The choices you make now will shape the rest of your retirement. With over 15 years of experience as a financial advisor, I’ve dedicated my career to helping new retirees make confident, tax-smart decisions during this pivotal window. Here’s what working together looks like: *Reduce lifetime taxes with proactive Roth conversions and withdrawal planning. *Create an income you can’t outlive. *Navigate Social Security and Medicare with clarity and confidence. *Keep your plan updated as life and tax laws change. I intentionally serve a limited number of families so every client receives high-touch, personal guidance directly from me. My flat annual fee means no commissions, no hidden costs, and no percentage-of-assets charges. You’ll always know exactly what you’re paying and exactly what you’re getting. I’ve seen too many retirees look back with regret, wishing they had enjoyed their healthiest years more fully. My mission is to make sure that doesn’t happen to you. When I’m not helping clients plan their retirement, I’m likely with my wife and our three kids, cheering at gymnastics, biking, playing pickleball, or schooling my kids in a game of four square.

Since 2015, I have helped families in Dayton and Southwest Ohio harmonize their financial resources with their retirement dreams. Before founding Stage Ready Financial Planning, I served as a Financial Planner at a large firm, where I realized that retirees deserved a more personal partnership—one that orchestrates a plan to stay "in step" with their lives. With a background in music education and over a decade of experience in financial planning, I believe a confident retirement begins with understanding. I don’t just manage portfolios; I "handle the math" and teach the strategies behind it so you can make informed, great decisions about your future. My mission is to combine my love for teaching with a passion for financial freedom, ensuring your investments are tuned to support your lifestyle. In addition to my years of experience, I've earned degrees from Wright State University, and the University of Houston, along with an Executive Certificate in Financial Planning from Xavier University. As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional and a member of the XY Planning Network and NAPFA, I am committed to the highest fiduciary standards. My wife Kristen and I live in Oakwood with our dachshund pups, Lily and Henry. When I’m not "at the podium" helping clients, you can find me enjoying music, fitness, the ocean, grilling with friends, and spending time with my family.
