Who We Are

Meet Rick Rhodes

Rick’s current career in financial matters began with the personal insurance industry. As an insurance agent he assisted individuals in the selection of health, life, long term care and fixed annuity insurance products. Eventually, he became a wholesaler/trainer in these products and focused on teaching other agents how to present these risk mitigation tools effectively and ethically.   

Rick  then embarked on a more financial focus as an advisor with CitiGroup/Smith Barney, which transitioned to Morgan Stanley/Smith Barney. In July 2010, he joined Raymond James Financial Services  where he was a financial advisor for over a decade before becoming a fully independent Registered Investment Advisor(RIA).

Rick graduated from Stetson University with a Masters of Accountancy, where he was both Beta Gamma Sigma and Student of the Year.  Prior to Stetson, he completed his Bachelor of Business Administration with a Major in Accounting at Florida Atlantic University.

In addition to being a Certified Public Accountant (CPA),  he is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®) practitioner since 2007, a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA®) since 2014 and maintains the Certified Plan Fiduciary Analyst designation established by the National Association of Plan Administrators (NAPA).
