Valuing People Over Profits
We are experienced financial advisors in Columbia, SC, ready to help you create a plan to work toward financial success while you focus on life’s other priorities.

Welcome to “My Father Said,” an insightful podcast that navigates the crossroads of finance, family, and faith. Hosted by Ryan and Robert Templeton of The Templeton Group, this podcast peels back the layers on financial management through a unique father-son lens.
From humble beginnings to the formation of The Templeton Group, Robert Templeton has worn many hats as a financial advisor, entrepreneur, and pastor. His son Ryan, who followed in his footsteps into the world of finance, brings a fresh perspective to the table. Together, they dig deep into a wide range of financial topics—investing, debt management, retirement planning, and so much more.
Working closely with you, we’ll help you establish a financial plan to support your future and help alleviate common fears, including:
Most people think all financial planners are “certified,” but this isn’t true. Just about anyone can use the title “financial planner.” CFP Board benefits the public by independently certifying financial planners. Although CFP Board does not guarantee their work, CFP® professionals have met rigorous qualifications for financial planning. Only those who have fulfilled CFP Board’s rigorous requirements can call themselves a CFP® professional.
