About Michael Reynolds, CFP®, CSRIC®, AIF®, CFT-I™
I'm an independent financial advisor and owner of Elevation Financial.I'm a parallel entrepreneur and former digital marketing agency owner. After owning a digital agency for 23 years, I founded and co-founded four new businesses (including Elevation Financial) from 2015 to 2019. I sold my agency in 2018 to focus on my new ventures and grow my advisory firm.
While owning an agency was fun and (mostly/sometimes/maybe) rewarding, I developed a strong desire to help people win with money.
I believe that it's fundamentally important to learn to take control of your money because money touches every part of our lives and is the foundation that supports and empowers our life decisions both large and small.
I also believe that financial education and coaching should be accessible to everyone which is why I've designed my firm with no minimums, allowing you to work with me no matter what phase of your financial journey you are in and from anywhere in the U.S.
I host a weekly personal finance podcast called Wealth Redefined® which can be found whenever you listen to podcasts.
I'm a sushi lover, Star Trek nerd and firmly in defense of one space after a period.

Wealthtender® is a trusted, independent financial directory and educational resource governed by our strict Editorial Policy, Integrity Standards, and Terms of Use. While we receive compensation from featured professionals (a natural conflict of interest), we always operate with integrity and transparency to earn your trust. Wealthtender is not a client of these providers. Testimonials may not be representative of other clients’ experiences and do not guarantee future performance or success.
We Want Your Voice to be Heard
Wealthtender exists to help people discover trusted and authentic financial professionals and educators who may be a good fit based on their unique needs and circumstances.
Your honest reviews help people decide which financial professionals and educators may be best suited to their individual needs.
The majority of people trust reviews as much as personal recommendations, so what you write in your review should reflect your own opinion and experience.
Tips for Writing a Helpful Review
Be descriptive. Instead of just saying what you like or dislike, share why. What have you enjoyed most or least about your experience with the provider? Have they helped you overcome a difficult financial challenge or strengthened your knowledge about particular money matters? The more details, the better!
Be honest. Your rating and review should reflect your actual experience.
Stay relevant. Ensure your review is helpful to others by avoiding off-topic discussions or personal opinions not relevant to your direct experience.
Make your review easy to read. Reviews should be readable to others. Use proper grammar, avoid excessive capitalization or punctuation, and be sure to check your spelling.
Be yourself. Don’t post as, or pretend to be, someone else, and do not say you’re associated with a person or organization with which you are not.
Be nice. Don’t write abusive, hateful, threatening, or harassing content. Avoid personal threats, hate speech, obscenities, or inflammatory language.
Respect the privacy of others. Don’t post information that can be used to identify another individual or compromise their privacy.
Report abuse. Thank you for helping us ensure reviews on Wealthtender are helpful to everyone. If you suspect possible violations of our guidelines or believe a review is inappropriate, please email support@wealthtender.com with a link to the provider’s profile, indicating the review in question and the reason you believe it violates our guidelines.
