We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Tyler End, CFP®. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Tyler below.

Tyler, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. What’s the backstory behind how you came up with the idea for your business?

While working at a well-known traditional financial planning firm after college, I saw firsthand how many people were being priced out and excluded from sound financial advice—most importantly—the people who needed help the most. People like my mom, a teacher, my neighbors, and millions of Americans who wake up daily without a financial plan for their future.

Most financial products and innovations focus on high-net-worth individuals. For too many years, everyday Americans have been overlooked by financial services—especially those in or near retirement. The industry focuses on accumulating wealth and leaves consumers to fend for themselves when it’s time to decumulate their assets throughout retirement. This had to change. I set out to make that advice and tooling accessible to everyone—no matter where they’re starting from. That’s what ultimately inspired our mission at Retirable to empower a confident, worry-free retirement for everyone.

Companies chase dollars, but building upon impact is especially rewarding. Operating in the right way and having a fiduciary duty to our clients enables our business success. There’s nothing better than hearing success stories from clients who thought they would never be able to retire or could never get the advice they needed because they didn’t have enough. Once they start working with us, they can see new possibilities and experience the peace of mind they need during a vulnerable life transition like retirement.

Tyler, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

Retirable is built to deliver best-practice financial planning and investing to people in or near retirement—making it accessible to everyone—not just high-net-worth individuals. Our process simplifies the planning and income experience for people who haven’t had the opportunity to talk to a professional during their working years or don’t think they have enough to get advice. We also work with those with previous advisor relationships who want a retirement income specialist as they transition into retirement. Each client is paired with a dedicated fiduciary advisor, removing the conflict of interest from the process compared to commissioned agents. We reach our clients when and where it’s convenient for them—we’re accessible by Zoom, phone, text, email, or at our New York City office.

Any thoughts, advice, or strategies you can share for fostering brand loyalty?

The most effective way we foster brand loyalty with our clients starts with the quality of the relationship we cultivate with them. Each of our clients is paired with a licensed fiduciary advisor—building a trusted relationship with them through every phase of retirement. Whether it’s a new grandbaby, a dream vacation or a simple question about accounts, our advisors foster brand loyalty with the quality of their connection at every turn.

We do annual reviews with our clients that dive deep into their lifestyle and how Retirable can help them achieve their best possible retirement. While we constantly monitor on the minutia of investments and wealth management, we focus on what matters most for our clients and answer their key questions:

– Will I have enough money to retire when I want to?
– Will I run out of money?
– How do I turn my savings into reliable retirement income?
– How can I maintain my lifestyle throughout retirement?

Our clients are loyal to Retirable because we empower them with peace of mind and confidence knowing they have a trusted partner to make sense of it all along the way.

What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?

The most effective strategy for growing our clientele is to work with strategic partners who positively impact retirees’ lives. We’ve found that by partnering with trusted brands across the Medicare and Insurance space, we can grow our clientele by offering our services to a captive audience of our addressable market. We’ve found success in sharing our services across community organizations, employer/employee groups and benefits administrators.

The core of this idea benefits all parties involved:
– Our partners can offer a purpose-built solution tailored to a growing audience of retiring Americans
– Retirable is able to reach more prospective clients at a sustainable cost of acquisition
– An often-overlooked population of everyday Americans gains access to retirement solutions that were previously unavailable to them
