About Russ

Russ Dyck, CFP®
Have you ever had an experience that set you on an entirely unexpected path? Russ’ journey to becoming a passionate advocate for financial empowerment began with a misstep – being misled by an Investment Salesperson.
This pivotal moment prompted him to delve deep into the world of finance and the intricacies of the financial industry. He was determined to equip myself with the knowledge and expertise needed to ensure that others wouldn’t find themselves in the same position he had been. This quest for understanding led him back to the classroom, where I pursued my undergraduate degree, even while pursuing a different career. I was driven by an unwavering desire to grasp the nuances of finance inside out.
As he continued his journey, he couldn’t help but notice a paradigm shift happening in the financial world, particularly in the United States. Young financial planners were revolutionizing the industry. They were offering independent, commission-free advice, a stark contrast to the traditional model that often relied on selling investments and insurance for commissions. This fresh perspective inspired him and solidified his commitment to doing things differently.
Today, he’s harnessed his knowledge, experience, and passion to serve as your financial guide. He’s here to offer you transparent, independent, and tailored financial advice, helping you navigate your unique financial journey with confidence.
His goal, and Finovo’s goal, is to empower you to make informed decisions, safeguard your financial future, and create a life that aligns with your dreams and aspirations. Together, explore the possibilities and chart a course to financial success.
We look forward to being your partner on this exciting journey to financial freedom.
