MERCER STREET

ABOUT US

Mercer Street is an independent, fee-only, fiduciary financial planning and investment management firm based in Houston, Texas. The firm was born from the personal experiences of its founder, Ryan Firth. In the course of two years, Ryan got married, welcomed a new addition to the family, bought his first home, and formed a company. Mercer Street assists individuals and families in managing their financial concerns, because we understand that life can get complicated pretty quickly. We're here to help you address the financial complexities in your life; we call it "planning for life."

​

We can work with you wherever you're at in life, but our service offerings tend to resonate with small business owners, young professionals, and growing families in the wealth building phase of their lives. Houston is home for us, but so long as you have a device that can connect to the Internet, we are not bound by geography.

​

We are subject matter experts on blockchain technology such as cryptocurrencies. We believe that this is an exciting, complex space that requires guidance from someone trustworthy, like a CPA financial planner.
