You’d like to retire

But planning for retirement is overwhelming and you have questions…

How do I reduce my taxes?
How do I optimize my portfolio?

Who We Are

Gray Wealth Strategies

Our mission is to provide life-changing financial guidance so clients can retire with purpose and confidence.

Gray Wealth Strategies (GWS) is owned and operated by Andrew Gray, a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ and Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor℠ with over 16 years of experience as the sole financial advisor to more than 145 clients throughout the U.S. and world, including top executives at Fortune 500 companies.

We’re constantly asking ourselves how we can do more and make a greater impact – and that is part of the reason GWS was launched.

Every idea starts with a problem.  Ours was threefold: Quality retirement planning and investment management can be expensive for clients under the traditional asset under management (AUM) fee structure.  Also, many people fear working with a financial advisor because of the reputation that advisors earn commissions and will sell you products you don’t need.  And finally, many wealth management firms do not emphasize financial planning or deliver data-driven financial roadmaps to guide clients.

So after working for several top wealth management firms, Andrew decided that he could make the most impact on retirees’ lives by establishing a fiduciary, flat-fee only firm that educates clients on the value of working with a CFP® and financial planning in general.

We understand how it feels to have a lot of questions about retirement. GWS wants to demonstrate that a business can be client-centered and deliver unquestionable value to retirees through financial planning.  Our focus is on creating a retirement roadmap for clients that is easy to understand, actionable, helps reduce taxes, and utilizes low-cost, index funds.

GWS serves pre-retirees and retirees in person in Bend, Oregon and virtually throughout the country.

We look forward to learning more about prospective client needs, retirement goals, and helping you retire confidently.

HOW WE COMPARE

Why Choose GWS?

Price Difference.

Philosophy Difference.
