About Kevin Conard

Kevin started out his career in the big brokerage firms and quickly learned there was a better way to advise a client, so he left and started an independent advisory firm – The Retirement Planning Group.

TRPG was created because there weren’t any other investment firms looking out for everything for a client. We asked ourselves, “Why isn’t there another firm that provides, financial plans, retirement income forecasting, asset management, tax planning, tax returns, identity theft protection all under one roof?” We had no idea. But we were happy to actually build it in 2004.

Our barometer: “Would we be willing to refer our own parents to the firm?” So that’s exactly how we built it. Transparent, zero egos, friendly and inviting with a fiduciary standard of care.

What gets Kevin out of bed in the morning? “Maybe it’s just the Eagle Scout in me, but I love helping clients get things done, correctly, efficiently and seeing them succeed!” In addition to earning his Charter Retirement Planning Consultant (CRPC®) designation, he also created another SEC Registered Investment Advisor firm that services over 25,000 families and manages over 3 billion dollars.

Kevin hails from the Midwest. When not at work, Kevin is busy raising his three boys. He’s active as a Cub Scout Den leader, Boy Scout leader, and soccer coach. As a lover of photography, his sons would freely admit that when Kevin has his camera out, it’s like having their own personal paparazzi (without any of the benefits of actually being a celebrity).
