About Derek Miller, CFP®, CDFA®, CLTC®, CEPA®, AIF®

Hi, I'm Derek Miller, Private Wealth Advisor with Feldmeyer Financial Group. I help people take complex financial situations and turn them into clear, practical steps to success. I help clients build a strong financial foundation and prioritize their goals so they can focus on the most important objectives first. By taking a step-by-step approach, I ensure nothing falls through the cracks and my clients feel confident—rather than overwhelmed—about their financial future.

Many of the people I work with are accomplished individuals, including professionals and business owners who have worked hard to create significant assets. I get to know them personally, help them see the bigger picture behind their wealth, and show them a clear path toward their goals. My clients count on me to be their financial guide, and I'm the first person they call when they have questions or need advice. I'm there to help them identify their blind spots and I make sure they have the right resources so they can secure the financial future they have worked hard for.

In addition to working with individuals, I am especially passionate about working with family-owned businesses and their teams. I understand the dynamic of working in a family business because I grew up in one. My goal is to help clients identify potential issues before they arise so they can effectively plan for the journey ahead. I help them answer questions like, "Do we have enough to retire?", "Are the kids prepared to take care of our business?", and "How do we handle a transition strategically and fairly?" My focus for business owners is tax reduction strategies and retirement savings plans. I help clients identify strategies that not only address their current needs but support their long-term vision of success.

I grew up in Ottoville, OH in a small community where my family runs a catering company and restaurant. Being involved in my family's business gave me a joy for cooking and an appreciation for being part of a family business. I do most of the cooking for my wife Alyssa and our three girls. When I am not working, my life revolves around my kids and their activities. I enjoy golf, spending time near the water, and hosting friends and family for dinners.
