About Matthew Kelley

At Gold Medal Waters, we are planners who proudly serve physicians and others with high current income, high earnings potential, or substantial assets. We guide our clients to achieve meaningful outcomes and help them build a better life, both now and in the future.

Our mission is pretty straightforward - we want to make sure that after each conversation, you feel an increase in control and a decrease in anxiety.

We believe that our client's future happiness depends on the work we do today. That proper financial planning and systematized investment management decreases negative stress and increases well-being, leading to better outcomes. That's why we're dedicated to pairing our clients with real people who deliver advice with warmth, understanding and privacy.

Gold Medal Waters, Inc. (GMW) is a fee-only financial advisory firm that serves individuals, families, foundations and company retirement plans such as 401(k)s and 403(b)s.
