Financial Advisors in Kettering, Ohio (Montgomery County)

Shawn Ballinger, CFP
Our Philosophy We are client-centric, pure and simple.
The principals established our firm with the intention of creating a consultative environment that would attract “the best and the brightest” minds in the financial planning profession. The vision was to create a unique, proactive approach to wealth management that would assist high net worth clients in achieving their goals and objectives. By creating a fee-only practice, we removed many of the conflicts of interest that often arise when associates are paid by commission on the products and services they recommend. Simply put, we feel this is the only way to deliver objective advice to clients with complex financial needs. Although the firm has experienced substantial growth since its founding in 1979, our goal remains to create customized solutions for each client, and to build long-term relationships with them. Our greatest compliment comes from the numerous referrals provided by our existing clients.... See More

Our Story
In 1985, a group of financial experts came together and rallied around a simple idea: To help people eliminate the stress usually associated with planning for their financial future.
We wanted to make things less complicated. More approachable. More understandable. More relevant.
We knew that if we could help people understand things better, they could make better decisions.
And if they made better decisions, they could feel more comfortable.
And if they felt more comfortable, they could move more confidently toward achieving their goals.
It’s a pretty simple idea, really. And it’s the idea that has guided us at PDS Planning, Inc. from the very beginning.
Today, PDS Planning is an independently owned, Registered Investment Advisory firm with clients in 20 states and more than $490 million in assets under management.
We are not affiliated with any broker, bank, accounting firm, law firm or insurance company. We are accountable only to our clients and have only their best interests at heart, fully embracing the concept of fiduciary responsibility.
As a result, we have built solid, long-lasting relationships, a number of which have lasted for multiple generations. We are consistently ranked among the top fee-only financial planning firms in central Ohio*. And we’re recognized as one of the top independent fee- only wealth management firms in the country**.
Our promise to our clients: To make the process of planning and acquiring life’s riches as rewarding as attaining them.
