Fiduciary Retirement Advice at Ohio University

Proudly Representing
Working with Ohio University Staff & Faculty
Our firm is one of the only Fiduciary providers at Ohio University and has been serving for over 15 years. Since a good portion of our clients are employees of Ohio University, we try to have a representative on campus once a month to meet with current clients as well as be available for networking opportunities.
We do not work for any large financial or investment company. Instead, we work directly for our clients and then leverage multiple larger custodians to hold their actual accounts. At Ohio University, the most suitable custodian is TIAA CREF. We directly manage our clients' investment accounts through deep discount custodians and then build retirement plans that coordinate with OPERS, STRS, Social Security benefits, and/or other retirement plans.
What rebel Financial can do for YOU

Fee-only & a Fiduciary
Fee-only means that we only accept compensation from our clients and do not accept compensation from third parties and, as a fiduciary, we always represent our clients’ best interests first.
Experienced advisors that know your retirement
We specialize in working with public employees that have OPERS, STRS, or SERS or ARP. Furthermore, we have many clients at OU and know your particular benefits/opportunities as well.
Transparent Pricing
We are open and transparent in our pricing. We even produce a quarterly statement of all your fees so you know how much you pay and can quantify our value to you.
Professional Excellence
Our financial advisors are all Certified Financial Planners (CFP), who have at least a BA/BS, and we require that they complete at least 60 hours of continuing education per year.
Reduced Cost & Commitment
Because we don’t take commissions or work for a large financial firm we can drive down costs and remove restrictive contract terms. We always work at your discretion, no strings attached.
