About Rick Laymon, MBA, CFP®, AIF®, CEPA, CKA®

When I started Beacon Wealth Consultants in 1997, I had never even heard of faith-based, or Biblically Responsible Investing. I had been in the wealth management industry for three-plus years and, although I had made a profession of faith as a teen, had only recently decided to become a committed Christ follower.

Not long after that, I met two godly older men in our profession who both challenged me to consider the moral implications of what companies we invest in and profit from as believers. I was shocked to learn that more than half of the companies in the S&P 500 are involved in the abortion industry, pornography and promoting anti-family lifestyles. That is something I had never before stopped to consider. Frankly, at that point, I did not have a real understanding of stock ownership and the true purpose of business. Nor did I know much of the Bible and certainly had no comprehension of God’s ownership of all things. In many ways, I was in a fog about investing!

Little did I know those early encounters in business would set me on a path of discovering what God’s word says about how we are to manage his money, which would ultimately become the foundation upon which we built this company. All of our advisors share a similar story. Our view of Biblically Responsible Investing has grown from merely avoiding evil to proactively seeking out investments in exemplary companies who live out the Golden Rule in their business practices and endeavor to create blessing in the world. The more we learn about God’s word, the more we have come to understand investing as a sacramental act of worship.

Over the years, we have helped hundreds of families gain the clarity they need to plan well and make biblically-wise investment choices. This became our sole focus with our registration as an SEC Registered Investment Advisor and the creation of our True Wealth Solution™ and LightPoint Portfolios™ in 2010. BWC and our growing team of Certified Kingdom Advisors® are now on a mission to ignite a movement of Biblically Responsible Investing. We would love an opportunity to guide you on the pathway to building your dreams AND preserving your faith values. Now is the time to make your money matter - well done good and faithful servant!

We are satisfied clients of Beacon Wealth for the last 10 years. Rick and his associates have provided excellent service to our retirement needs. Rick meets with us quarterly to discuss our accounts, answers any questions we have, and offers suggestions we may want to think about. I personally enjoy Cassie and Hillary's market updates discussing what is happening with market changes that may impact our accounts. Top notch associates from the front desk to Rick's desk!

I first met with Rick well before my targeted retirement date. His knowledge of the Virginia Retirement System (VRS) was impeccable. The advise and guidance from the staff at Beacon Wealth made the process of navigating the paperwork and deadlines a breeze. All while maintaining a level of integrity and professionalism that is beyond reproach.

Financial Planning by professionals who care.

✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™
May 2, 2025
This group stands out in a significant way. They won't give you a cookie-cutter plan that is reused for everyone who walks through the door. Beacon Wealth, particularly Rick Layman and his team, will take the time to listen to you and ask questions that help you identify what matters most to you in retirement and your overall financial well-being. Rick follows up promptly and creates a comprehensive plan to help you achieve your goals. After my experience with financial advisors who took an entire year to provide me with a generic and impersonal plan—including another client's information and children's names—I can confidently say that you will receive personal, sincere, and expert advice from Rick and his team. Don't hesitate if you're considering Beacon Wealth. You will leave the first meeting feeling a sense of relief and some of the weight lifted off your shoulders.

Our family has been clients of Beacon Wealth since 2019. My husband owned his own business and after his heart attack we wanted a company our family could trust with future financial goals. My husband had worked with Rick and Cassie professionally for several years and knew this to be a company with integrity. Beacon Wealth has been faithful in communication and with meeting with us on a regular basis to ensure continued growth. My husband and I are both grateful for the insight and expertise Beacon Wealth has provided. We would highly recommend them to any family looking for integrity and expertise involving their personal finances.

Beacon Wealth recommendation

✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™
Sep 21, 2023
We have been clients of Rick Laymon for nearly 20 years. He has guided us through our children’s education funding, retirement and estate planning, and into early retirement. Biblically Responsible Investing (BRI) was key to our relationship with Rick and Beacon Wealth over other financial advisors. They have remained true to this commitment and earned our trust. The Beacon team is knowledgeable and accessible to answer questions and follow up as needed. Rick keeps in touch on a regular basis. We are thankful for his wise counsel and blessed to have him as our financial advisor. For those looking for sound biblically-based investment strategies we recommend Beacon Wealth without hesitation.

We met Rick and Beacon Wealth over 15 years ago when we had a need to consolidate 401 K accounts. Beacon Wealth reviewed all our finances and made several solid financial suggestions that have allowed us to reach our financial and retirement goals in a timely manner . Rick has taken an interest in our family and has always been available to counsel us relating to any financial questions we have had. Thanks to Beacon Wealth and Rick’s wise counsel, we plan to retire earlier than most. We trust them and have been blessed by being associated with them. We would choose Beacon Wealth all over again.

My wife and I have been clients of Beacon Wealth for many years. When seeking recommendations from a friend at church he recommended Rick and Beacon Wealth without any hesitation. We met with Rick and felt like we'd found the person who could advise us and help give us direction. Over the years Rick and Cassie have helped us giving us sound biblical advise on strategy and investments to help us achieve our goals for retirement. Even in our retirement years Rick continues to met with us to make sure our financial needs are being met and to continue to grow our portfolio. It's been a blessing that we are thankful for.

My wife and I have been working with Rick Laymon and the staff at Beacon Wealth for several years as we prepared for retirement. We did our research and chose Beacon Wealth because they understand our desire to be good stewards of what God has blessed us with. Rick has walked with us through each step of the process as we have eased into retirement. He has also advised us on wills, trusts and tax plans to make sure that all our goals are met now and long after we have gone home. I don't believe that we could have found a better fit and we could not be happier!

Sep 13, 2023
I became aware of Biblically-responsible investing a few years ago as I began a (long-overdue) obedience to the Lord. I am a higher-net worth individual, so there was a lot of research that went into this move from a large investment bank. After much prayer and discernment , I landed at Beacon Wealth and have been completely satisfied. Beacon was the perfect TRIFECTA for me: Comparable returns, warm personalized service, and faith-based. What was the final tipping point on my decision-to-move-to-Beacon? ...... the fact that Beacon shares their proprietary LightPoint Portfolio solutions freely with other advisors. Wow

Responsibly Balancing our Kingdom Portfolio with our Earthly Portfolio

✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™
Sep 13, 2023
We have been Rick Laymon’s clients since 2007 and have been beyond pleased with his attention to detail, support of our goals, and consistent and focused reviews of our financial situation. He has not only become a trusted advisor, but a good friend. What we're especially pleased with is Rick's support and encouragement in balancing our Kingdom portfolio with our earthly portfolio, helping us with intelligent giving to organizations to which we are guided by the Lord and compelled to give. Before retirement we were able to continually increase our giving to our church and other Christian organizations to God's glory while growing our earthly portfolio toward retirement. Even in retirement, we remain able to give generously! Because international and local missions are very important to us, Rick has always supported us in this way. We also so appreciate Beacon Wealth's responsible investing of our funds in investments that not only provide a good return, but are with companies that we ethically support. We couldn't be happier with our choice of Beacon Wealth.

As a Christian my first attraction to Beacon Wealth was their policy of screening investments to eliminate unbiblical types. But over the years i have gotten to know Rick and then Cassie and love them as top quality advisors who produce serious results. I don’t want to worry about investments and need to trust those that i deal with. I trust them and recommend them when I am asked.

My experience with Rick and Cassie Laymon and their entire team has been positive all around. I feel like we are friends! They have assisted me with the daunting task of preparing for retirement! Thanks to their great work and advice I was able to achieve this goal this year. While I was a business owner, they helped guide me to a new 401k plan for my employees and helped manage that and all it entailed. I’m most of all grateful for the opportunity to invest in line with my beliefs. It’s a joy to know I am not supporting companies whose beliefs are not in alignment with my values. They are continually positive, prepared, organized and genuinely interested in my goals and how to best achieve them. I especially love the visuals prepared for each meeting. Each Beacon employee is personable and an extremely good communicator. I’m pleased to invest with this most trustworthy team!

We were one of Rick's first clients as Beacon Wealth, over 2 decades ago. I found him as a referral of the Dave Ramsey Show, as a traveling sales rep I listened to all the time. As newlyweds, my husband and I needed someone we could trust, since we didn't know a thing about investing. Rick came to us, sat down, discussed our goals/plans, mapped out a plan and made us feel at ease. We have been very pleased ever since! When we moved out of state, he took necessary steps to remain our advisor. Our soon-to-be 20-year-old called him about investing some of his money and Rick gave him some great advice!

We first met Cassie decades ago through my husband’s job. She was instrumental in getting us on the right path financially. Cassie’s friendly and easygoing way of dealing with us made it natural for us to trust her. She truly has her client’s best interest in my mind! When she teamed up with Rick Laymon and Beacon Wealth, I was excited to know we’d be investing in a biblically responsible company. After all, our money is from the Lord and knowing it will be invested in ways that honor Him is very reassuring. The team at Beacon is always very timely in returning our texts or calls. I have always sensed a very personal touch in dealing with them. They really care, and it is demonstrated in how they handle their clients. I am so very thankful for Cassie and the team at Beacon Wealth!

Beacon Wealth -- outstanding financial advisors

✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™
Sep 6, 2023
My husband and I came to know Rick Laymon when he was representative of another major investment company. He came to our house to review our policies and get to know us. That was close to 30 years ago. He took our investments and worked to make money for us. No one had ever worked with us to make that happen. We came on board when Rick started his company, Beacon Wealth and have been with him all these years. Our children have also put their investments with Beacon Wealth. Beacon Wealth employs highly qualified, professional, knowledgeable and helpful people. I have and will continue to encourage anyone with investments to sign up with Beacon Wealth. It’s always a pleasure to work with them. I count them as friends, as well as my financial advisors.

I started with Rick and Beacon Wealth about 23 years ago. We wanted to find a biblically based financial advisor. Rick and the team are a wonderful bunch there at Beacon Wealth. And having Cassie by his side proves to be a great asset and blessing. Also, Hillary the Chief Investment Officer, Kimberly and Jake are superb. They try to work with you through all the ups and downs of life, through economic lows and highs. When my wife passed away 3 years ago Rick and Cassie helped me not only with the financial side but on the human side too. Like fine wine, Beacon gets better with age. No regrets.

Following biblical guidelines has been the goal for my wife and Il all of our Christian life. Beacon Wealth Consultants has allowed us to insure that our investments have been with firms that support our Christian values.. We have seen steady growth in our investments have met our goals over the period of several years that we have been working with Beacon Wealth Consultants. Their consultants are true professionals in every aspect of their inter action with us. we are made aware of changes in investments as they are made and have complete confidence.in the actions that they have made on our behalf. From our first meeting and every meeting since than ( at least annually and often times more,) our goals and objectives have been reviewed to insure they are still on track. I highly recommend Beacon Wealth Consultants to anyone that is considering a financial advisor.

At my first contact with Cassie, I felt her warmth, honesty and caring about her mission. She has guided me to identify my goals and formulate a plan to achieve them. I feel totally confident in her knowledge and ethics regarding my investments. I am thankful that Beacon Wealth is here for me.

So glad to have our investments following our values

Cassie is very personable and caring. We appreciated so much this ability to match our values with our investments. We were burdened that our investments were funding practices like abortion, slave labor, addictive practices and such and we didn't want to be doing that. Now we are excited that we can help business that really expresses and expands our values. Also the communication and monthly video updates on general investments with Beacon Wealth keep us more informed of what our dollars are doing. We highly recommend Cassie and this company to friends. We often share her book Finding Jesus in the Maketplace to others. Take a look at what they offer. We are glad we did!

Beacon Wealth was first a client of ours. As I got to know Cassie and Rick Laymon better, who they help and how they help them, I felt convicted that we didn't treat our investments the way we treat our other assets - like our time. My wife and I wanted to have our investments honor God as we do with our other assets. Beacon Wealth provided us with that ability. They have a very personalized yet professional approach to learning our goals and helping us invest wisely to achieve them. They manage our portfolio so we don't have to worry about what the market is doing. Beacon Wealth maximizes our return based on our goals in any market. We are very grateful they are part of our long-term financial plan!

Rick Laymon of Beacon Wealth has been our financial advisor for a decade and his advice has been a significant benefit to us. He takes time to understand our preferences and priorities, both financial and ethical, and has been especially helpful in anticipating changes in our financial situation and recommending a way ahead to meet our needs. We appreciate the clarity and honesty of his advice and of all communications from Beacon Wealth as well as the evident fact that our best interest is always the central focus. Beacon Wealth and Rick have always demonstrated a rare combination of high professional competence, steadfast integrity, and sincere human understanding in all dealings with us.

Began my relationship with Beacon over 10 years ago with Cassie, before she "officially" connected with the founder of Beacon Wealth. Have found them to be a focused and supportive group of planners, who keep their eyes on the customer. Have responded quicky and appropriately to any changing needs I have had and make sure we communicate several times without my provocation, during the year, just to make sure they stay current with our needs. Wish the performance of my portfolio over these ten years would have been a bit better, but nonetheless, feel confident they always are trying to target our family's objectives.

In the search for financial security.

Five years ago, my husband began the daunting process of preparing for retirement and searching for a financial consultant. After much prayer, and not a little anxiety, he felt he could trust with what he had worked so hard to save (and made sacrifices) for a comfortable retirement future for use with Beacon Wealth. Rick Layman, of Beacon Wealth, came highly recommended through sources we trusted. Our first consultation was engaging, informative and put us at ease that our finances would be in good hands. With that being said, the economy did suffer shortly after we retired, but Beacon Wealth has kept us up-to-date and informed on all activities and has strived to make the best "moves" for our situation. We highly recommend this group for your financial needs and future security.
