About Brandon M. Cox, CFP®, CFF®
Brandon founded Coastline Complete Wealth in June 2023 with a clear purpose: to serve clients better, embrace his role as a fiduciary, and remove conflicts of interest. Since beginning his career in 2010, much of it at a large national firm, he repeatedly asked himself one question—how can this be done better? CCW is the answer to that pursuit.He has been recognized by Forbes as a Best-in-State Wealth Advisor* in South Carolina. He is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional and a Certified Financial Fiduciary®. He is also a member of the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA) and the Fee-Only Network. Brandon is also the author of Lowcountry Retirement: A Fiduciary's Perspective on Retirement Income, Taxes, and Financial Planning
Brandon traded Indiana for the Lowcountry and hasn’t looked back. He and his wife, Amanda, are raising two young daughters, Hannah and Caroline, who keep life fun—and busy! When he’s not cheering them on at a volleyball game, you’ll usually find him on the boat with his family or out with a rod in hand, soaking up the coastal life.

About Coastline Complete Wealth
Coastline Complete Wealth was founded by Brandon M. Cox in June 2023 to provide comprehensive, client-focused financial planning for retirees and families throughout the Lowcountry.The firm began as an independent advisory practice affiliated with Commonwealth Financial Network. Following Commonwealth's acquisition in 2025, Coastline transitioned to an independent, SEC-registered investment adviser in December 2025—giving the firm greater flexibility to deliver fee-only fiduciary advice without commissions, proprietary products, or sales incentives.
Brandon has advised clients since 2010. Today, the Coastline team brings together that experience with retirement income planning, proactive tax strategy, investment management, Social Security guidance, and estate planning coordination.
Based in Bluffton, Coastline serves clients throughout Hilton Head Island, Beaufort, Okatie, Hardeeville, Savannah, and the surrounding Lowcountry.

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.
