CAMERON BRADY, CFP® is a partner & financial advisor at Michael Brady & Co., a family owned and operated financial planning and investment advisory firm. MB&Co. prides itself on maintaining a fiduciary standard for all clients at all times and operating as a fee-only firm, meaning, they are only compensated by the fee their clients directly pay them.  Cameron specializes in helping individuals and families navigate the transition into retirement and beyond by helping them get organized, create an actionable financial plan and implement a diversified investment portfolio designed to achieve their desired financial goals and objectives.

Cameron grew up watching his father work as a financial advisor and small business owner, helping his clients plan for the unexpected and prepare for retirement.  He saw how his dad’s clients truly trusted him to handle not only their finances but also to help them maneuver life’s hardest decisions like what type of assisted living facility was best for them or how to handle the passing of a spouse.  Watching the difference his dad made in a client’s life made him pursue majoring in financial planning at Saint Joseph’s University's Haub School of Business and becoming a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™.  After starting his career in Chicago, Cameron decided it was time to team up with his dad at Michael Brady & Co. and moved back home to Cleveland in 2017.

Cameron resides in Rocky River with his wife and their Aussiedoodle.  He enjoys hiking in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, boating on Lake Erie, cycling in the Metroparks, and exploring new cities and cultures abroad.  Cameron is an avid outdoorsman and is always looking for his next adventure.
