Tim Berry

Founder & Independent Advisor · Tim Berry Financial Services

I built Tim Berry Financial Services because I kept watching good families get worse outcomes than they deserved — not from bad luck, but from four different salespeople selling four disconnected products that quietly worked against each other. An investment gain wiped out by an avoidable tax. A mortgage taken on without the protection to survive a disability. An annuity bought for the brochure instead of the need.

As an independent advisor across insurance, finance, hard-asset investing, and tax-incentive planning, my only job is to make the pieces fit. I'm not tied to one carrier, one fund, or one lender — so I can shop the whole market and tell you plainly when the cheaper, simpler option is the better one. My help costs you nothing up front; I'm paid by the institutions you choose, and I'll always show you the trade-offs.

Whether you're protecting a young family's paycheck, structuring financing for a business, adding a tangible hedge to a portfolio, or trying to keep more of what you've built away from the tax you don't owe — I'd rather earn your trust with a straight answer than a sale.

Client stories

In their words

★★★★★
“Tim caught that our refinance would have blown up a tax strategy our old guy set up. He fixed both in one meeting. Nobody had ever connected the dots before.”
The Delgado family · Refinance + tax coordination
★★★★★
“I was about to sign an annuity with a huge surrender period. Tim showed me a simpler fixed one that paid more income and let me keep liquidity. He talked me OUT of the bigger commission.”
Karen M. · Retirement income planning
★★★★★
“We wanted some hard assets outside the market. He explained exactly what we were paying for on each coin — metal versus premium — and told us to buy less than we planned. That honesty is why we sent him our kids.”
Ronald & Pat H. · Rare coins + legacy
