PDS Planning Among Financial Advisor Magazine’s 2024 50 Fastest Growing RIAs

PDS Planning, a fee-only financial planning firm in Columbus, Ohio is pleased to announce it has been named 49th fastest-growing registered investment advisory firm in the United States, one of only four Ohio firms named. This ranking comes from the recent edition of Financial Advisor Magazine’s 2024 Top 50 Fastest Growing RIAs based upon the previous 12 months as reported in companies Form ADV filing.

“Being recognized by Financial Advisor Magazine as one of the 50 Fastest Growing RIA firms in the country is a testament to the high level of fiduciary care our team provides to our clients,” notes Jamie Menges, CFP®, CPA, Principal. “Our focus is on creating tax-efficient solutions to enhance our clients’ wealth, not our own.”

For nearly 40 years, client success has been the top priority of PDS. “We accomplish this by delivering comprehensive advice that puts our client’s interests ahead of our own.” Menges goes on to say, “This is exemplified by our flat, fixed dollar fees based on the work we do rather than the industry norm of charging clients based upon the amount of money they invest.”

The PDS team believes that the number of clients who refer their friends and family is a strong indicator that their clients recognize the value they provide. “We look forward to the rewarding work of helping our clients continue to reach their personal and financial goals.”

PDS Planning was also named among the Best Financial Advisory Firms in 2024 by USA Today. Of the top 500 Registered Investment Advisory firms, PDS Planning ranked 285th, making it the second highest-ranked firm in Central Ohio, and the 12th-highest in Ohio.
