That’s why we created this guide to help you navigate your path to financial clarity and help you to choose the right advisor to fit your unique needs.

Whether you’re saving for a house, preparing for retirement, or just trying to keep your finances in check, getting the right financial advisor is crucial.

If you want help in making the right choice, this guide is for you!

So, who am I?

Hi! I’m Ryan Bannister, Founder of 1Up Financial Advisors.

I started 1Up to help content creators like you.

It all started for me streaming on Twitch. I would tell viewers that I’m a CPA and eventually streams turned in to people asking for finance advice.

Though I create different content now, it was clear to me that the creator industry needed a bridge to the finance world.

That’s when I decided to start 1Up.

I love hearing clients say how comfortable they feel after our meetings. It’s so validating and reminds me that I’m doing important work, which inspires me to do even better.

I’m so grateful for the opportunity to be a force for good in my clients’ lives and the content creation industry!

Financial
Planning

Financial Planning is the strategy guide to your money. Similar to how seeing the entire map in a game prevents you from wandering around blindly.

This is totally collaborative and starts with finding end goals like your vision for your business, life, and family. From there we work backwards to create the strategies to get you there.

Getting
started

Just like a character build, choosing your investments can make or break your entire strategy. Go too heavy on one side and you’re not protected against certain attacks.

This is an ongoing service where we continually update your portfolio to be strong against market conditions and ensure that the investments we choose align with the overall plan.

HERE'S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE...

Our 3-step process gives you peace of mind and a safe place to let out all those financial frustrations. No shame or judgment, just real financial planning.

Schedule 20-Min Call

We’ll chat for 20-30 min (via Zoom or phone, your preference) to see if we’re a good fit and get to know each other.

Discovery Meeting

During this 1-hour meeting, we’ll get to know each other and figure out your financial goals, needs, and concerns.

We’ll also take a deep dive into your income vs. expenses and assets vs. liabilities to chart your course to financial freedom.

Decide next steps.

Working together is more than just a transaction to us. We’re looking to build long-term relationships.

If you’re ready to take control of your finances, we’ll use the strategy guide we’ve created to start your journey together.
