Chris Reddick

Hello, I'm Chris Reddick, founder and owner of Chris Reddick Financial Planning, LLC, a fee-only, advice-only firm I established in 2019. I specialize in investment, retirement, and tax planning for educators, public service professionals, and corporate employees. 

I bring a unique combination of credentials to my practice. As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER^TM professional, I meet the industry's highest standard for personal financial planning. My Enrolled Agent (EA) credential—the IRS's elite designation for tax expertise—allows me to integrate tax planning directly into your financial strategy rather than referring it out. And my Retirement Income Certified Professional (RICP®) designation reflects advanced training in turning your savings into sustainable retirement income. For clients navigating taxation, Social Security coordination, and retirement account distributions, this combination means comprehensive guidance under one roof.

I'm a goal-based planner. We establish your goals together, track progress, and celebrate wins along the way. If you want a financial planner who holds you accountable and helps you get results, I'm the one for you.

My path to financial planning was unconventional. I was born and raised in Canada, earned an MBA from the University of Guelph, and hold a Ph.D. in Politics from the University of Sheffield in the United Kingdom. Nearly 25 years in higher education taught me how to educate, simplify complexity, and meet people where they are—skills I bring to every client relationship.

My wife Cathy and I have two children, Rachel and Abigail (shown below). I love spending time with my children, watching movies, and traveling.
