Tom A. Tyo, MBA

Owner | retirement planner | Tax Strategist

Tom Tyo is Managing Director of Strategic Path Financial Group, LLC and a fiduciary retirement planner.
He helps high earning tech professionals, business owners, and individuals nearing (or in) retirement make smart, tax-efficient decisions so they can retire confidently and protect their legacy.

Tom combines more than a decade in financial services including two years at a Fortune 100 company with decades of experience in hotel management and technical recruiting during the Silicon Valley tech boom.

Those roles taught him the value of white-glove client service and revealed how many high earning tech professionals struggled to understand equity compensation.

He founded Strategic Path Financial Group in 2019 to close that knowledge gap and deliver concierge level planning.
