Dedicated. Independent. Experienced.
History
Gettings Reed Financial’s history began in 1998 in Lafayette, Indiana, when Bill Gettings, CFP®, transitioned from his role as a pension and retirement specialist with The Equitable to establish an independent financial advisory firm. With a mission to provide personalized and transparent financial guidance, Bill focused on serving families and businesses, building a strong reputation as a leader in financial planning and business retirement plans over the next two decades.
In 2020, recognizing the need for greater independence and flexibility to better serve their clients, Bill Gettings and Scott Busch, decided to establish their own Registered Investment Adviser (RIA). This strategic move allowed the firm to operate strictly under a fiduciary standard, providing personalized, transparent, and client-centered financial strategies.
Today, Gettings Reed Financial continues to be a trusted partner for individuals, families, and businesses seeking tailored financial strategies. With over 50 years of combined experience among its advisors, the firm specializes in comprehensive wealth management, retirement planning, and investment solutions designed to meet the unique needs of its clients. Committed to fostering long-term relationships built on trust and transparency, Gettings Reed Financial continues to help clients navigate life’s financial complexities with clarity and confidence.
