Financial planning for physicians, at every stage.
Why Raven Point?
Raven Point is an overlook along Tennessee’s Fiery Gizzard Trail, one of the most rugged and celebrated hikes in the eastern United States and a favorite of Brian’s. The climb is challenging and rewarding, a fitting metaphor for building a meaningful career and a lasting legacy.
At the summit, an Eastern red cedar rises from a crack in the rock, taking root in bare stone where little else can, embodying resilience, longevity, and growth. Often seen above, the raven is a symbol of insight, foresight, and perspective, the ability to see beyond the immediate path and navigate with clarity. Together, these enduring symbols reflect the values that define Raven Point Wealth Management: steadiness through challenge, thoughtful guidance, and the long-term perspective to help you build and preserve what matters most.
Care for a physician’s whole financial life.
Our purpose is to look after specialty physicians, dentists, and their families, in the present and for the future: to give them the confidence that they have done everything they can to manage today’s risks, fund tomorrow’s goals, and understand a clear path to get there.
The aim is to be part of your life beyond the portfolio, the planner you bring into the big decisions before they happen.
Three things we hold to.
Efficiency & efficacy
We lean on the right technology and trusted specialists so the routine runs efficiently, and our time and attention go where they make the most difference: with you.
Proactive planning
We want to be in the big life decisions before they happen, not informed about them afterward. Planning beats reacting, every time.
Connection
We get to know you as a person, the people and purposes that drive your decisions, and what it means for you to live with meaning.
Brian M. Johnson, CFP®
Brian is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional who founded Raven Point Wealth Management to do financial planning the way he believes it should be done: comprehensive, proactive, and genuinely personal. He enjoys getting involved early, often with residents and fellows preparing for the transition into practice, and works with physicians and dentists at every stage, including those well established a decade or more into their careers, on every part of their financial lives.
Brian is based in the Nashville area, where he lives with his wife, Mindy, a nurse practitioner, and their two teenagers. He’s a serial hobbyist, a tinkerer, woodworker, car enthusiast, and 3D-printing dabbler, the kind of interests that tend to spark unexpected common ground with clients. Mostly, though, he’s happiest outdoors, mountain biking, chasing down good coffee, and getting out to national parks at home and abroad. Of all the epic places he’s been fortunate enough to travel to in the world, Jackson Hole and the Grand Tetons remain his favorite, their peaks the inspiration for the Raven Point logo.
