Helping Families Since 1974
Richard Young Advisors is an independent, fee-only fiduciary firm based in Augusta, Georgia, helping individuals and families live the lives they want. Through in-depth financial planning, evidence-based investing, and a collaborative team approach, we bring clarity, confidence, and long-term perspective to every stage of life.
When you ask our clients about wealth, you'll hear them talk about wealth being a tool, empowering their family to focus on what matters most. It's not the goal - it's the freedom to pursue their personal goals.
This is why we’re so intent on the work we do. We partner with you to put your wealth to work, helping you make confident decisions, navigate life's transitions, and invest in a way that's tailored to your specific needs. The goal is always the same: your future, on your terms.
We’re excited to announce our updated name: Richard Young Advisors! While it’s not a dramatic departure from Richard Young Associates, the shift reflects who we are today while honoring our Richard Young heritage that spans more than 50 years. Rest assured, it’s the same company you’ve long known and trusted, just with a fresh coat of paint.
Local Experts
We're a local firm through and through, but we've been around the block. In fact, we manage over $1 billion for clients all across the nation. Your family gets the warmth and attention you expect from a local firm with the experience of a larger one.
Rooted in Research
Many advisors try to game the market and predict the winners, but we've seen the results. Instead, we structure our investing after Nobel Prize-winning research, letting the data guide our methodology and planning for long-term success.
Collective Wisdom
Behind your advisor is the strength of our entire advisor team. We work together every day, sharing ideas so your plan is always moving forward. When your situation calls for it, we’ll coordinate with your other professionals, too. Your plan is guided by many perspectives, not just one.
Teachers at Heart
We don't want to simply be an advice dispenser. Instead, we try to help our clients truly understand the reasons for the advice we're giving and then empower them to make the best decisions going forward. We don't tell, we teach.
Simple Fees
We are a fee-only, fiduciary firm – we get no commissions from the investments of our clients – meaning our interests are aligned with yours. We’re fiduciaries and have every reason to help you make the best decisions possible for you, because when you do better, we do better.
