Our Team

Smaller Teams Get More Done

We may be a small team, but our level of service has never been higher!

Streamlined Communication: Fewer people means less back-and-forth and quicker decision-making. Everyone's voice can be heard easily, fostering a sense of ownership and accountability.
Boosted Engagement: In a small team, there's less room for anonymity. Everyone's contribution is valued, leading to higher engagement and a sense of shared purpose.
Trust and Agility: Smaller teams allow team members to get to know each other's strengths and weaknesses. This builds trust and fosters a more agile environment where team members can swap roles and adapt to challenges.

As a company deeply rooted in traditional values and the principles of freedom and patriotism, Solid Rock Retirement Strategies provides a refreshing alternative to more mainstream investment strategies, such as those influenced by Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria. Our "Verified Woke-Free" badge is a third party verification from BuyWokeFree.com that shows we've done the hard work to ensure that Solid Rock Retirement Strategies is a guiding beacon for investors, offering a unique approach through Biblically Responsible Investing (BRI).

Does your company criticize conservative values, religious freedoms, capitalism, or the concept of national sovereignty and border control? (No); 7.
