About Ramiro Marmolejo, CFP®, ChFC®

I’m a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional and the founder of Financial Rubrics, an educator-first financial planning practice I launched in 2023 after beginning my YouTube educational platform in 2022. My goal is simple: help busy professionals make financial decisions with clarity rather than confusion.

I teach clients to evaluate every decision—Protection, Liquidity, Debt Management, and Growth—inside one coordinated model. Most people don’t have a money problem; they have a coordination problem. Their accounts, benefits, insurance, taxes, and investments all live in separate silos. I help bring everything together so decisions support each other instead of competing for dollars.

I work primarily with dual-income households, medical professionals, executives, and individuals experiencing financial transitions such as job changes, retirement, windfalls, and stock option events. My approach is structured, transparent, and always built on education first, strategy second, and products last.

Outside of planning, I enjoy dog rescue and adoption, traveling in Europe with my family, practicing Kuntao Silat, and spending time at Disney World. These experiences keep me grounded, grateful, and focused on helping people build financial lives that support the things they love.

Financial Advisor Ramiro Marmolejo

✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™
Sep 17, 2025
I have known Ramiro for over 20years. Our business relationship started when he was in the banking industry and continued to date as my financial advisor. He has guided me through the good and difficult times in the stock market. He has also advised me on issues dealing with estate planning and life insurance options. He is extremely professional and trustworthy. I highly recommend Ramiro Marmolejo to anyone seeking a financial advisor.

Your "Money Guy"

✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™
Sep 12, 2025
It has been very reassuring to have Ramiro handle all our family finances for over a decade. Highly experienced and knowledgeable, Ramiro is what those of us who spent a lifetime saving, or are just getting started, need. One of his many assets is the ability to explain even complicated products and options in a manner that can be understood even by rookies. I highly recommend Ramiro as your "money guy" for now and in the future.

I have known Ramiro for over 50 years and have worked with him as a financial advisor for 20 of those years. He is not only adept at managing complex financial matters, but he also does so with great understanding and empathy toward his individual clients’ situations. He is my most trusted friend and advisor.

Busy professionals need to talk to Ramiro

✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™
Sep 12, 2025
If you are a busy professional, you need to have a conversation with Ramiro. Ramiro does an excellent job of explaining what's going on in the market and provides an in depth analysis of your investment portfolio tailored to you based on your risk appetite. On a personal note, Ramiro has talked me down from the ledge several times over the past 10 years when I saw the market dip and I wanted to pull all my funds and invest them elsewhere. Every single time, the market reacted the way he said it would and I am thankful that the investments were kept in place and not put towards that "can't miss" private stock for a cloud seeding company. The best thing about Ramiro is his non-salesy approach to earning your business. He is a great advisor and an even better person.

Working with Ramiro has been one of the best financial decisions I’ve ever made.

He doesn’t just manage investments—he takes the time to understand my long-term goals, explains strategies clearly, and provides guidance that gives me complete confidence in my financial future.

I have had Ramiro as my advisor for over 20 years. I have followed him from his early days with BBVA to now. He gives you facts and options that best fit your needs.

"Soft Touch" Advisor

✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™
Sep 11, 2025
Ramiro has been my financial planner since I have had the finances to plan! I have followed him as my planner and transferred funds as he advanced and changed firms. I wasn’t really that interested in the firm he worked with as much as I was maintaining the relationship with him. I have always valued his approach to teaching investment principles rather than selling. He is genuine and has a “soft touch” with his practices which I believe fosters confidence and demonstrates integrity. I have also appreciated his embracing new technologies as a means to establish and then fine tune investment strategies for me as an individual. Over the years this has helped with making decisions and adjusting portfolio’s to reflect stages in life. Needless to say, I highly recommend Ramiro!

Trusted Financial Planner and Friend

✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™

I have known Ramiro for almost 40 years and he has helped guide me in my retirement financial decisions like they were his own. He spent a huge amount of his time with me initially and helped me understand exactly what choices I had. We worked together to choose the right fit for me and my retirement planning. We now meet together regularly to review performance and make changes as needed. I trust Ramiro and his integrity implicitly and look forward to many more years of his help, friendship and guidance.

Ive been with Ramiro for about 20 years, and he has tailored his recommendations to my needs, never the "hot, buy now" push. You don't stay that long unless you like and trust someone.
