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 it on to your children and grandchildren instead of the government.

Stidham Financial Services helps busy families all over the United States safely manage all their assets, exceed their retirement dreams, and 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 not going to tell you about life insurance because it’s not their business.
• If you go to a great life insurance agent, they’re not going to tell you about the stock market because it’s not their business.
• If you go to a great estate planning attorney, they will make appropriate, beneficial legal changes without knowledge of how that modification will affect other aspects of your retirement down the road.
• Brokers & Lawyers don’t necessarily understand the tax consequences of their changes like a CPA would.
• None of these previously mentioned professionals are experts at the Social Security, Medicare, or VA benefits you earned.

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 don’t have time to research and create relationships with all these different specialists and you certainly don’t have time to get your financial team to “play in the sandbox” together.

• Insurance agents
• Financial advisors
• Brokers
• Registered Investment Advisors
• Elder Law attorneys

Douglas A. Sanders
Associate Advisor

Douglas A. Sanders takes great pride in his work, focusing on post retirement, as part of our fully integrated professional network. Drawing on his years coaching college athletes, he understands the strength of a team, as opposed to an individual. Doug applies this philosophy, working out of the Canton, OH office, in guiding his clients through the intricate process of estate planning, asset protection, long term care, government benefits and retirement savings. Doug’s greatest strength is his unique ability to break down these complicated concepts and make them easy to understand for those that may not have much experience in them.

Doug’s clients think of him as their “financial coach,” guiding them through different strategies to protect their assets from healthcare costs, taxes and market risk with the rest of our team. His clients consistently tell us how much they appreciate their personal relationships with him, and this is one of the many reasons that we are so proud to have him here at Stidham Financial.

Ryan Wood
Associate Advisor

Ryan Wood is an Associate Advisor 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 and secure retirement and estate plans, 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 planning techniques that typical advisors 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 planning works hand in hand with other fields of discipline to create a complete and effective plan. “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 is based out of the Ohio office, but practices across the country via video conference, to help families create plans 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 experts 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 to 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. 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 advisors 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.
