Matt Kircher, founder of Fairpoint Wealth

Why I Built Fairpoint

Hi, I’m Matt Kircher. I founded Fairpoint Wealth Management in 2017 to help ambitious professionals and executives retire early—and with confidence.

As an independent, fee-only fiduciary advisor based in Olmsted Falls, Ohio, I specialize in guiding high-earning professionals with complex compensation packages through the transition to earlier 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. Everything we do is built on a simple principle: your financial plan should serve your life and goals—not the other way around.

Because we are 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.
