About Ironclad Financial

Nick Rygiel, CFP®

Hello, I'm Nick Rygiel, the founder of Ironclad Financial, established in May 2022. My professional journey encompasses a wide range of experiences, beginning with my service as a Surface Warfare Officer with deployments in the Black Sea and Horn of Africa. I also served at the Center for Surface Combat Systems (CSCS), followed by strategic roles at Deloitte Consulting and Merrill Lynch, where I was a Vice President/Senior Financial Advisor from 2011 to 2022.

I hold a B.S. in Systems Engineering from the U.S. Naval Academy and an MBA from the University of Maryland. My vision for Ironclad Financial is to transform the financial advisory field by integrating a fully digital experience, minimizing manual processes, and transcending traditional investment models.

At Ironclad Financial, we prioritize a client-centric approach, accommodating both collaborative and hands-off clients. We believe effective financial planning goes beyond conventional strategies and the standard focus on the S&P 500 index. Instead, we explore a broad spectrum of investment opportunities tailored to align with each client's unique financial goals and risk preferences.

If you're a busy professional or entrepreneur struggling to keep your investments aligned with your goals, I can help. I offer a streamlined, virtual planning process and both discretionary (investments managed by Ironcload Financial) and non-discretionary management (you as the client maintain control and the location of your investments).

Whether your focus is on conservative investment tactics or seeking out groundbreaking growth opportunities, our goal is to deliver a service that not only meets but resonates deeply with your personal financial aspirations.
