Strickler Financial Group is a fast-growing, independent financial planning firm dedicated to helping families retire with confidence and purpose. Our mission is simple but meaningful: to help people retire boldly—free from financial stress, clear on their plan, and able to live the retirement they’ve dreamed about.

We believe money is a tool for experiences, freedom, and shared memories. The work we do genuinely changes lives, and we take that responsibility seriously. As we grow, our goal is to help more families, in more communities, with the same level of care, clarity, and empathy we’re known for.
