My name is Rob Stromberg. I’m a CFP® and the founder of Mountain River Financial. I provide fiduciary and fee-only advice, investment management, and financial planning to six-figure earners in their 30s and 40s. I focus on helping clients make wise and purposeful decisions with their money so they can live a rewarding life today while building wealth for a successful tomorrow. With insight gained from my time working at an institutional wealth management firm in Connecticut where I consulted with other independent advisory firms to help them build better portfolios for their clients and more efficient overall advisory practices, I got my CFP® certification and founded Mountain River Financial so that I could begin working directly with my core client market of high-income earners under 50. I’m an active member of NAPFA and the XY planning network and am a frequent contributor to publications including The Wall Street Journal, US News & World Report, The Washington Post, Investment News, CNN Business, Nerdwallet and Yahoo! Finance, among others. Above all else, I’m committed to being the best husband and dad I can be. When I’m not manning the helm at Mountain River, you’ll find me enjoying quality time with my wife Kara, son Noah, daughter Addison, and our dog Autumn. We love spending time at the shore, generally enjoying the outdoors, and hanging together with our large extended family around the mid Atlantic.

You spent the last 30+ years building your wealth. Now what? You saved, sacrificed, and built a bigger nest egg than you ever imagined. I help couples with $2-5 million of investable assets who are approaching or entering retirement figure out how to actually use the wealth they've built. The transition to retirement brings a whole new set of decisions: How much can we spend? Which accounts should we use first? When should we take Social Security? How much can we give our kids? Should we do Roth conversions? How should we invest during retirement? Are we going to run out of money? How should we think about long-term care? Are there any ways to pay less in taxes? At Buoyant Wealth, we focus exclusively on retirement planning. Most firms claim to do a little bit of everything. Generalists, we'll call them. Not us. Retirement planning is all we do, and we'd like to think we're darn good at it. Because the goal isn't just to grow your portfolio anymore. It's to help you turn your lifetime of savings into a retirement you can actually enjoy. Without constantly wondering if you're spending too much, of course. Based in Pennsylvania, I work with couples locally and virtually across the country.
