About

​

FOOTLAMP FINANCIAL, a fee-only financial advisory firm based in Opelika, Alabama and Atlanta, Georgia, provides retirement planning and investment management to clients for a flat fee. 

​

My name is Ed Kerns, CFP®, and I built FOOTLAMP FINANCIAL around everything I believe about serving clients in a transparent, competent, and trustworthy way. Life is full of transitions. Retirement is complex. Financially, the stakes are high. I find great enjoyment and purpose in guiding clients to make smart decisions with their money for reasons that are important to them.

​

My fee structure, planning approach, and investment philosophy are designed and implemented with your retirement in mind. Above all, I believe my job is to listen and help you design a plan where your money can be a tool for living a meaningful life.
