About Matthew D. Kircher, MBA
founder & President, fairpoint wealth management
Hi, I’m Matt Kircher. I founded Fairpoint Wealth Management in 2017 to help ambitious professionals retire early and with confidence.
As an independent, fee-only fiduciary advisor based in Olmsted Falls, Ohio, I specialize in guiding high-earning professionals and executives with complex compensation packages through the transition to early retirement. From equity compensation and deferred plans to tax-efficient retirement income strategies, I understand the unique challenges you face — and the costly mistakes even sophisticated investors and advisors often make.
I launched the firm while completing my MBA at the Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University. Combined with my BBA in Financial Services and Certificate of Financial Planning from the University of Akron, this background gives me both the advanced training and real-world insight to deliver clear, practical strategies tailored to your situation.
Since starting Fairpoint, I’ve been honored to be recognized as one of the Best Financial Advisors in Cleveland by Expertise and named a Top Financial Advisor by News 5 Cleveland. My perspectives on wealth and retirement planning have also been featured in national publications including Business Insider, Forbes, and The Huffington Post.
Everything we do at Fairpoint is built on a simple principle: your financial plan should serve your life and goals — not the other way around. Because we’re a true fee-only fiduciary, you can trust that every recommendation is made solely in your best interest, with no commissions or product sales.
I selectively partner with accomplished professionals, executives, and business owners across Northeast Ohio who have built substantial wealth through complex compensation arrangements and are focused on retiring earlier than traditional timelines allow — with greater clarity and confidence.
