Fiduciary Retirement Advice at OSU
Wouldn't it be nice to know that you have a financial advisor/firm that had to look our for your best interests ahead of their own? This is what being a fiduciary means and rebel Financial stands proud to always represent the Staff and Faculty of The Ohio State University as fiduciaries.*
*To our knowledge, we are the only financial company providing a fiduciary level of planning and investment management advice directly on OSU retirement accounts (ARP, 403b, 457b, OPERS, & STRS).
Proudly Representing

Working with OSU staff & faculty
We do not work for any large financial or investment company. Instead, we work directly for our clients and then leverage multiple larger custodians to hold their actual accounts. At OSU, the two most suitable custodians are TIAA CREF and Fidelity. We directly manage our clients' investment accounts through these investment firms and then build retirement plans that coordinate their OPERS, STRS, SS benefits etc. when they're ready.
What rebel Financial can do for you
and how we're different from the competitors
Independent and transparent:
Fee-only & a Fiduciary
Fee-only means that we only accept compensation from our clients and do not accept compensation from 3rd parties and, as a fiduciary, we always represent our clients’ best interests 1st.
Transparent pricing
We are open and transparent in our pricing. We even produce a quarterly statement of all your fees so you know how much you pay and can quantify our value to you.
1) View all client service models.
2) View all flat-fee planning models.
Reduced cost & committment
Because we don’t take commissions or work for a large financial firm we can drive down costs and remove restrictive contract terms. We always work at your discretion, no strings attached.
Knowledgeable and specialized:
Experienced advisors that know your retirement
We specialize in working with public employees that have OPERS, STRS, or SERS. Furthermore, we have many clients at OSU and know your particular benefits/opportunities as well.
Professional excellence
Our financial advisors are all Certified Financial Planners (CFP), who have at least a BA/BS, and we require that they complete at least 60 hours of continuing education per year.
Dedication and continuity
Whether you’re just starting your career, contemplating retirement, or are already retired we we can help you with your retirement planning. Furthermore, we’ve been serving staff & faculty for over 12yrs and plan to continue for decades to come.
