Most financial advisors will tell you what to do with your money. I'd rather show you why—and make sure the strategy actually fits the way you live, earn, and spend. I'm Ryan Greiser, CFP® and co-founder of Opulus, a fee-only RIA based in Doylestown, PA. My co-founder Fran Walsh and I built Opulus for high-income millennials who have outgrown generic advice: the engineer with a complicated equity package, the physician juggling student loans and a growing income, the couple who finally hit their number but still feel financially exposed. These aren't people who need a lecture on compound interest. They need someone who can work through the details, cut through the noise, and tell them what actually matters. My planning work is built around four things: reducing what you pay in taxes, managing income that doesn't follow a straight line, growing wealth without taking on unnecessary risk, and structuring your finances so they support the life you're building—not the one someone else assumed you'd want. I specialize in equity compensation, tax-first planning, and investment management. If your situation has moving parts, that's where I do my best work. Opulus is a two-person firm by design. You work with me and Fran—not a rotating cast of junior advisors. We're independent, fee-only, and have no incentive to sell you anything. Every recommendation exists because it's aligned with you.
