I maintain my membership with the XY Planning Network because it reflects how I believe financial advice should be delivered: advice‑only, fiduciary, and fully aligned with the client’s best interests. XYPN’s standards reinforce my commitment to transparency, ongoing education, and providing planning‑driven guidance without commissions or product sales influencing recommendations. I’m Gage Paul, CFP®, and Co‑founder of Western Reserve Capital Management, LLC, a fee‑only financial planning firm serving established families and professionals across Northeast Ohio, with offices in Hudson, New Philadelphia, and Akron. We started this firm because we believed there was a better way to deliver financial advice, one built on trust, clarity, and long‑term thinking rather than sales-driven solutions. That belief continues to guide how we work with clients today. My approach begins with a comprehensive, project‑based financial plan, typically ranging from $2,500 to $4,000, designed to provide clear, actionable guidance without pressure to commit to an ongoing relationship. For clients who want continued support, accountability, and portfolio management, we also offer ongoing wealth management services on an assets‑under‑management (AUM) basis. Whether you’re navigating a major life transition, trying to optimize your tax strategy, planning for retirement, or simply looking for a second opinion from someone who isn’t trying to sell you something, we’d be glad to help. What you can expect when working with us: honest conversations, personalized strategies, and advice built around your life and goals, not products.
