We had a relationship with Joanna Billy through our daughter and Berry College, and when we set an appointment with Tim, he was prepared, planned, and honest with his guidance. I did not like finance, but he presented strategies simply and clearly, and Goodwin Investment Advisory helped us by being creative with our finances and introducing us to a great accountant. Tim gained a great team during this time, and they provided simple, clear explanations and patience with all my questions. All of the staff are prepared to help, encourage, and seek an answer, and I have total confidence and trust that our retirement will be enjoyable because of GIA. GIA goes beyond the finance strategies — they have heart and see your need.

After researching many firms and interviewing several, I was impressed with the integrity, engagement, and philosophy of your team, and we wanted a supportive, creative, and family-oriented team, not to simply be a number and income source. I also looked into the SEC filings — absolutely clean, and I wanted a firm that Patti would be comfortable with when I pass, and she too took a shine to you all. Goodwin Investment Advisory has helped with getting comfortable with retirement finances and learning to spend what we’ve accumulated, and your assistance has helped ease my mind in terms of financial sustainability. You guys are always there when we need you, and we’re so thrilled to see your growth while maintaining your core, which is why whenever we find someone who is looking for financial advisement, you’re the ones we refer to.

I met Tim Goodwin through working on the board of Fellowship of Christian Athletes together, and I have been so impressed by Goodwin Investment Advisory’s knowledge of the investment portfolios and their rhythm of communication that educates us as investors. My experience started with my relationship with Tim Goodwin but has expanded to several other team members, for example Justin Peacock, and GIA’s corporate giving quarterly to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes has allowed us to greatly impact students in Cherokee County, as well as other programs to impact students with FCA. GIA is awesome, and its company growth has been an amazing growth story the past five years I have been involved as a client.

My son, David Yohan — he went to Berry College with Tim and was one of his first clients — is what first attracted me to Goodwin Investment Advisory and made me confident in my decision to work with them.
GIA helped me manage my accounts so I could enjoy life. I didn’t have to worry about my investments because I knew they would be managed professionally.
I love that GIA promotes generosity and giving. The more GIA increases my assets, the more I can give away to help others.
I am thankful for GIA and Justin Pitcock! 🙏

I was in a period of transition and the team at Goodwin Investment Advisory was recommended by a friend, and once I met with the team it was crystal clear that this was the team that I could trust with my financial future. We both shared our stories, and these were real people and I mattered to them, and from our first meeting you guys helped me think about money differently. The two biggest challenges you helped me overcome were trust and engagement, and a holistic strategy on finances changed the way I think about money, creating a sense of financial freedom that I had not experienced. I did not want to be just another investor and wanted a true partnership, and GIA has been able to fill that need by being an advisor where relationships matter. The relationships and the fact that GIA are true fiduciaries have really made a difference, and I have come to trust in GIA and helping me to see money in a different way.

Annual financial/portfolio review meetings are just one of the many valuable benefits of being a client of Goodwin Investment Advisory. My recent review experience with Ray Brown was not only thorough, but also encouraging to know how best to plan for the future in these retirement years. He is an amazing and talented young man! Tim Goodwin, Ray Brown and Sharon Brewer are just 3 of the team of very smart and knowledgeable people who are or who have been extremely helpful in advising and guiding me to financial peace in my retirement. Additionally, Goodwin Investment Advisory’s many client communication vehicles, from weekly reports, podcasts and market updates are timely and thorough. This team is always available to assist or answer any questions or concerns, which is especially important during these days of economic uncertainty. I am grateful to be a client of this advisory team!
