About Reggie Fairchild, CFP®
I’m Reggie Fairchild, CFP®, founder of Flip Flops and Pearls, a Charleston-based financial planning firm dedicated to helping high-achieving professionals align their wealth with what matters most.Before becoming a financial advisor, I followed my passion and curiosity through a range of entrepreneurial adventures and high-growth companies. In the early days of the internet, I helped lead some of AOL’s (America Online’s) most innovative and successful product launches. Later, I built a web design business, co-founded a real estate firm, and had the chance to support a number of startups and nonprofits along the way. Whether serving on a board or in an advisory role, I bring thoughtful strategy and genuine enthusiasm to every venture.
In 2003, I left the D.C. pace behind and moved to Charleston to enjoy the Lowcountry’s natural beauty, welcoming community, and amazing outdoor lifestyle. That decision reshaped how I thought about time, values, and opportunities.
Today, I bring that same energy and creativity to my work as a financial advisor. I’m passionate about helping clients find clarity and confidence in their financial lives—whether it’s through long-term retirement planning, tax optimization, or simply figuring out how to live more fully right now. My planning philosophy revolves around enjoying life today and while preparing confidently for tomorrow. Financial planning is not about sacrifice, it’s about possibility.
Outside of work, I’m a husband and father of three, with a deep appreciation for the simple, meaningful moments I’ve shared with my family—often outdoors, surrounded by the beauty of the Lowcountry and the world. I’m also an avid sailor and continue to race sailboats around the Southeast.
I hold the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ designation, an MBA from Cornell University, and a BA in Mathematics from DePauw University.

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.
