About our Firm

Rather & Kittrell Capital Management is a Registered Investment Advisory firm. Lytle Rather and Chris Kittrell launched RK more than 20 years ago, based on the steadfast belief that “people come first.” In that time, a two-desk business has grown into an advisory firm that serves individuals, families, and businesses managing the transitions that inherently come with money.

At RK we begin with a foundational question: what’s best for our client? Everything we do is in service of that goal.

WEALTH MANAGEMENT PHILOSOPHY

As a fiduciary advisor, we always act in your best interests. We consider your investments, plan ways to mitigate risk and protect what you’ve built, and work with your other trusted professionals to create a custom plan to guide you through all of life’s transitions. We believe that if we do what’s best for you, everything else takes care of itself.

To make Wealthtender free for readers, we earn a nominal monthly fee from financial advisors and firms in exchange for marketing services (including being featured on this profile page), subject to terms of use. This compensation creates a natural conflict of interest when we favor their promotion over others. Wealthtender is not a client of these advisors or firms. Testimonials may not be representative of other clients’ experiences and do not guarantee future performance or success.

R&K goes above and beyond the role of Financial Advisor. They understand the importance of educating the staff on the importance of planning for retirement and educating them on how to navigate the "investment arena" in a very informative and "user friendly" way. Lytle Rather and Nathan Woods are very knowledgeable on the updates on the regulations that could impact retirement planning. They send periodic bulletins that contain very informative, helpful information, insights, reflections, and fun stories! Lytle and Nathan are very personable and approachable folks. They are very prompt in responding to our questions.

I have known Nathan for several years, beginning before he joined Rather & Kittrell. He has always been kind and courteous, asking what I wish to accomplish and listening intently to my desires with regard to financial expectations. He always tells me it is my money, and I have a vested interest in what I hope to gain with my portfolio as it relates to my well-being as well as what I wish to hopefully leave to my sons. Furthermore, he is not only a good financial advisor, but he is also a good friend. He makes himself available should I call with a question or concern. I have been well pleased since I placed my trust in Rather & Kittrell.

Nathan Woods has been professional, courteous and extremely helpful in working with me and my wife strategizing our personal and business decisions. He has taken the time to explain the current and future needs we need to reach our retirement goals. We would highly recommend Nathan and Rather & Kittrell.
