Because we work across the valley, we see the full range of what people here are navigating: university retirement plans in Blacksburg, self-employment and land in Floyd, growing families in Christiansburg, and longtime residents everywhere ready to turn savings into income. Wherever you are in the NRV, you get the same thing — a plan built for your specifics, explained in plain English, with both spouses in the room.

Our Typical Client
martin team

"The whole team at Martin Wealth have been very helpful to me. I’ve been a client for about 5 years and love that they are always available to answer questions."

You don't have to keep figuring it out by yourself.

A Note from Our Founder: I founded Martin Wealth Solutions in 2011 because it was time for a change - not just for me, but in how the wealth management profession delivered advice and cared for clients as fiduciaries. The goal was simple: make retirement planning easier to understand. Make it human. Today, our fiduciary planning team - including CFP® professionals – helps people make smart decisions about taxes, retirement income, investments, and healthcare. So they can retire on their terms.

That goal shapes every part of our firm - our people, our services, our operations, and how we work with you. We give you clear answers and a team you can turn to whenever an important retirement decision comes up. We serve clients in Roanoke, Salem, Smith Mountain Lake, Blacksburg, Christiansburg, and throughout the New River Valley, as well as clients nationwide.

Retirement Planning

The underlying question is simple: "Will we be okay?" We build a plan that shows when you can retire, how much you can spend, and where your retirement income will come from—so you can enjoy what you worked for.

Investment Management

“What happens if the market crashes after I retire?” It’s one of the biggest fears retirees have. We build low-cost, tax-efficient portfolios so you have a clear strategy for what to do when markets fall instead of reacting in the moment.

Tax Planning

“How do I pay less in taxes?” We build tax strategies to help you reduce taxes today and throughout your retirement—so you can keep more of what you’ve worked hard to save.
