It’s your money, you’ve worked your entire life to save it. It’s our job to grow it, protect it, and help you pass more of it on to your children and grandchildren instead of the government.

Stidham Financial Services helps busy families all over the United States to manage their assets in their journey to a dream retirement, while seeking to maximize the inheritance to their children and grandchildren.

We are a Fully Integrated Professional Network.

That’s a fancy sentence, what does it mean to you?

• If you work with a great stock broker, they're probably not going to discuss life insurance with you because that's not area of expertise.
• If you have a great life insurance agent, they likely cannot help you with your investments because it's not what they do.
• If you go to a great estate planning attorney, they can assist you with your legacy needs but they may not be in sync with your overall retirement plan, potentially affecting other aspects of your retirement down the road.
• Stock brokers and attorneys may not necessarily understand the immediate tax consequences of their advice like a CPA would.
• None of these professionals are likely well versed in how to incorporate Social Security, Medicare or VA benefits into your overall plan.

Without input from all these different sectors, you’re prone to leave money on the table, or possibly even make a costly mistake…and it won’t be the fault of these separate, individual professionals because it’s not their business.

It’s your business…but you’re busy…really busy. We get it, because we are too!

You probably don't have the time to research and create relationships with all of these different professionals, or getting them all of them to "play in the sandbox" together.

Our Fully Integrated Professional Network includes

• Insurance agents
• Financial advisors
• Investment Brokers
• Registered Investment Advisors
• Elder Law attorneys
• Real Estate agents
• Accountants
• CPAs

get the most well-rounded financial plan available in the market.

Ryan Wood
Retirement and Insurance Professional

Ryan Wood is a Retirement and Insurance Professional at Stidham Financial, and is driven by a strong motivation to make a career of helping others through education. While Ryan has proven himself as an exceptionally skilled creator of customized retirement and estate strategies, his true calling is providing knowledge to those with which he works. Ryan really shines in his ability to break down complicated issues into easily understood concepts, then explaining how they relate to an individual’s goals and concerns.

Ryan began his career shadowing the top advisors at Stidham Financial and working closely with Mr. Stidham, himself. That experience gave Ryan the opportunity to learn high-end and complex financial and estate strategies and techniques that typical professionals never get the chance to see. In shadowing some of the other professionals in our organization, he also got the chance to see, up close, how financial strategies work hand in hand with other fields of discipline to create complete and effective strategies. “I don’t see how anyone can think that they have everything covered, if they are only working with one professional, or even just one type of professional. What I enjoy most here, is that I get to be a part of a complete team of professionals in different fields. People just don’t understand how necessary that is for them,” Ryan said, early on in his career. Ryan currently holds a Life & Health Insurance license. He is working toward the Series 65 license.

Ryan is based out of the Ohio office, but practices across the country via video conference, to help families create strategies to protect their assets from the multitude of threats that retirees face to their estates.

1. In your first meeting, you will enter a relaxed environment in which our team of professionals will begin to uncover potential roadblocks that could prevent you from achieving your financial goals. Feel free to sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee as we draw out the roadmap designed to help you achieve your financial goals.

2. Your spouse, partner, family members or other confidants should be with you. To maximize productivity, we ask that all decision makers are present at your initial consultation. Appointment time in our office is very valuable, so bringing non-present decision makers up to speed at a later date is not optimal.

3. You DO NOT have to bring ANYTHING in. We believe that your first appointment with us will be different than any other meeting you have ever had with a financial professional. You do not know us, and we do not know you. Quite frankly, we are not sure if we will be able to help you or whether or not we will elect to take you on as a client. Your first meeting will give us the proper time needed to get an initial peek into your financial world. If you choose to bring specific items in to your appointment, we cannot guarantee that we will review them.

4. We’ll accomplish three items in our initial time together.

• Destination Navigation
  

  Determining where you want to go is a pivotal part of realizing any potential roadblocks. In order for us to establish an appropriate course of action, we must first ascertain any concerns and objectives and bring them to the forefront. Allow us to assess your current goals as a function of the portfolio you currently have.

• Are we able to help you?
  

  We can’t help everyone who comes through our doors. After our initial meeting, we should have enough information to fully assess whether our “holistic planning approach” will help you reach your desired destination.

• Do you really want our help?
  

  We respect the fact that some people just want information. We are in the business of fixing problems, not just giving away information. We will provide you with the information that you need to determine if you want to take the next step in our “holistic planning approach.” It’s not uncommon for you to meet with our professionals several times over the first 90 days, including the possibility of meeting twice a week on occasion. Our time is very valuable and appointment time in our schedule is usually booked out weeks in advance. We can help fix your financial problems, but it’s up to you to take the 1st step.
