We evaluate your sentiment toward each consideration and quantify the potential effects on your assets over time. This allows us to build customized strategies to help you achieve your financial objectives for retirement.

Meet The Advisor
Rufus Hunley, IAR
Financial Advisor | Insurance
Before Rufus Hunley ever sat across from a client to talk about their retirement, he had already spent decades in rooms where the stakes were high and the details mattered. As a U.S. Army veteran deployed during Operations Desert Storm and Shield, then as a law enforcement officer and court administration professional, he built a career around understanding complex systems and using that knowledge to protect people. That foundation never left him.
In 2007, he transitioned into financial planning as a Financial Planning Consultant, and what struck him early was how many people were navigating major financial decisions without a trustworthy guide. In 2019, he founded PATH Financial LLC with a straightforward conviction: good financial advice should be available to everyone, not just those with significant assets.
Rufus holds the Investment Advisor Representative (IAR) designation with a FINRA Series 65, which authorizes him to provide investment advice in a fiduciary capacity. That means he is legally and ethically obligated to act in your best interest. It shapes every recommendation he makes.
His practice is built around investing, income accumulation, distribution planning and tax strategy, along with multiple lines of insurance coverage. Clients come to him with concerns about market exposure, healthcare costs, passing wealth to the next generation and making sure their money outlasts them. He approaches each situation individually, working toward solutions that are practical, cost-efficient and built around what the client actually needs.
Veterans hold a particular place in his work. Having served himself, Rufus understands the benefits landscape in ways most advisors do not. He currently holds the Accredited Claims Agent designation with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and volunteers his time helping fellow veterans secure the benefits they have earned.
Rufus brings something to financial planning that credentials alone cannot confer: years of real-world experience making high-stakes decisions on behalf of others, and the professional discipline to do it right.
