About Simplified Wealth

Hi, I'm Andrew Lippert, founder of Simplified Wealth. Let me get straight to the point by answering one question. Why would someone quit a cushy six-figure job with a newborn baby, a wife, 2 dogs, and a mortgage? Simple. For you, for AJ (my son), and for my soul.

After a decade in the financial planning industry, I realized that too many "advisors" were focused on making a profit rather than helping their clients.

So, I took a leap of faith and started my own firm. Simplified Wealth is all about building strong relationships and taking a hands-on approach to problem-solving. I'm here to provide integrated solutions that are crafted just for you.

I'm a dad to an amazing little boy named AJ, and husband to my wonderfully patient wife Lina. She's from Colombia, and we love traveling back to her home country to indulge in all the delicious food and culture it has to offer.

We love getting back to Cincinnati to see family, hanging out at my parent's 50-acre farm in southern VA, catching some rays at Wrightsville beach, and eating endless arepas in Medellin, Colombia.

This is the most meaningful work I’ll ever be a part of. And I’m here because I stopped settling for less. You should try it too.

Simplified Wealth is not your average financial services firm. We pride ourselves on being true consultants, not salesmen. We're 100% independent, which means we're not handcuffed to selling proprietary products. Instead, we focus on building the best holistic strategies tailored just for you.

With our diverse experience and qualifications, we can help you navigate the different components of your financial plan, from investing to taxes, estate planning, and employer benefits. Our goal is simple: to deliver rock-solid professional solutions that genuinely and materially benefit you.

We focus on time-proven, traditional principles that lay the foundation for your financial strategy.
