About Richard Davey, CPA, CFP®

Hi, I'm Richard Davey. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of San Diego with a BS in Accountancy in the top 10 of my business school & was active in the Beta Gamma Sigma Honors Fraternity. I went to USD initially for a spot on the football team. This path was quickly ended by a serious neck injury I sustained during fall camp which ended my athletic career and gave me space to realize more academic potential.

I graduated in the worst recession of the last 50 years in 2009 but was able to secure a job at Grant Thornton in San Francisco. I became a CPA & was promoted to senior associate in just 18 months. During this time, I also took graduate classes in the tax program at Golden Gate University. GT taught me at 24 to talk confidently with CFOs of major corporations and forced me to grow up quickly. Although I loved the culture and inspiring people, I soon realized that being an auditor wasn’t my dream & I set out to find a related career focused on forward looking work dealing with individuals in a more personal manner.

I shifted to personal finance & joined Waddell & Reed. I enjoyed Waddell and learned a great deal about investment & insurance products and how/when they could be appropriately used, but I was compelled to transition to an independent firm. I knew I needed to be 100% detached / uninfluenced from product sales. I found Marin Wealth Advisors where I spent 3 years getting my practice off the ground.

Rounding out 2016, my partner, predecessor advisor, & I decided to take the big step of starting our own firm... Fiduciary Financial Group with $0 under management. Just over 8 years later, we manage ~$715M for our clients.

My style - I’ll always tell you the truth about where you are & where you can expect to be. I won’t pull punches if you need tough love to spur life changes to better your financial outlook. You’ll know what you can realistically achieve at any given moment & know I'm shooting straight.
