Good planning starts with good people.

At Riverdog Wealth, we believe the best financial advice comes from relationships built on trust, honesty, and mutual respect. We're not here to sell you something—we're here to listen, understand what matters most to you, and help you make confident decisions about your future.

Learn Our Story

One comprehensive plan. Four essential pillars.

Our retirement planning framework, called T.I.M.E., brings tax, income, market, and estate planning together into a single, coordinated strategy.

Tax Planning

Income Planning

Market Planning

Estate Considerations

We evaluate how taxes affect your income, investments, and long-term plans—helping identify opportunities that may be overlooked when decisions are made in isolation.

We help you understand how income is generated, timed, and sustained throughout retirement—and how different strategies support your lifestyle and priorities.

We structure investment strategies within your broader plan—focusing on alignment between risk, long-term goals, and your overall retirement strategy rather than short-term market movements.

We ensure your plan accounts for how assets are transferred and coordinated over time, working alongside your legal professionals to align decisions with your broader goals.

A simple process for a complex decision.

Four meetings. No jargon, no pressure—just a clear path to a retirement plan built around your life.

Terry & I have been working with Friend and Jonathan for almost two years at their Mt Juliet office. They have been extremely helpful in recommending investments, offering advise and letting us manage as much as we were comfortable. We highly recommend Riverdog Wealth for helping balance IRA distributions, managing ROTH & taxable savings and minimizing tax liabilities. They bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to the table while making the financial management process easy and fun.

I have enjoyed working with Friend and Jonathan for almost two years and have enjoyed every step of the experience. Their commitment to ensuring I understand the process and how to manage my wealth has been wonderful. These two guys are very knowledgeable and immediately earned my trust after the very first meeting. They have been excellent at keeping me up to date and informed about my portfolio, and they never fail to impress me with their deliberate approach and warm and calm personalities.

After moving to Nashville, I was looking for a local financial advisor and was fortunate to find Riverdog Wealth. Their collaborative approach helped create an individualized portfolio that fit my investment goals and risk tolerance. Besides being experts in their field, the Riverdog Team treats you like family and gives you a strong sense of confidence in every decision you make. Riverdog rates an A+ in my book.
