Ryan Firth
Founder
Hi, I'm Ryan. I started Mercer Street Company because I believe there's an under-served market out there looking for sound, objective advice from a qualified professional who isn't looking to sell a financial product or will only work with folks based on how much money they have to invest. That was my experience when I was looking for a financial advisor to help me with my personal finances. Now, I've spent nearly two decades working as a financial consultant to businesses in various industries - a majority of that time has been in financial services. I now draw upon those professional and personal experiences to help clients address their unique financial concerns.
I am passionate about blockchain technology such as cryptocurrencies. I have been closely following this space since 2015, and in that short time, I have accumulated a wealth of knowledge that I enjoy sharing with clients and the general public.
