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.
