About
Us
Why Ronald Blue?
Founded in 1979, Ronald Blue & Co.
provides objective financial services
within a Biblical framework in order to free up resources for the Great Commission.
Our commitment to technical excellence, valuable client relationships and Biblical
counsel is steadfast.
Our Services
What is “fee only”?
We charge fees for the services provided and are not compensated by commissions
from financial products or services purchased by our clients.
How do I know if my needs match your services ?
If you are looking for fee-only financial counsel or investment management
from a Biblical perspective, our services should fit you. After receiving
your personal financial information, we will contact you to discuss how
we can be of service and provide the expected time and cost so you can
decide whether to go forward.
Are there contracts involved?
No contracts, but each party signs
an engagement letter outlining expectations
between the parties.
What if I am unsatisfied?
You can terminate your relationship with us at any time. If you are a
financial planning client, we simply do not charge for any work not meeting
your expectations. If you are an investment management client, your fee
is prorated to the time that your accounts with us are closed.
How often will you contact me?
Each client situation is unique. Our goal is your financial peace of
mind, therefore we are committed to contacting you as often as you prefer.
Our Services – Hourly
Financial Planning
What does a plan delivery look like?
Typically, you will be provided with
your written financial plan (recommendations,
supporting information, etc.) which we will review with you in detail.
For comprehensive planning, the delivery time could be two hours or more.
If we are discussing a single issue or financial concern, the conversation
could be as short as 30 minutes.
What qualifications do Everyday Steward Advisors have?
Many of the Everyday Steward Advisors are CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professionals or Certified Public Accountants (CPA). The CFP® mark is the most widely recognized standard in the financial planning industry.

How often do we revisit the plan?
This depends upon your situation. Because we work on an hourly basis,
we can structure the initial work and the subsequent follow-up or updates
as your situation warrants or as you prefer.
What happens when the work is completed?
We provide a survey form for your feedback on our process and services
as well as we ask if you would like us to follow up with you at a future
date. Contact us anytime a question arises or when it is time to review
your situation and progress.
Our Services – Investment
Management
What does an investment management
portfolio look like?
Each individual client portfolio is
based upon client goals, financial
situation, risk tolerance and life
stage. Usually portfolios are diversified
across multiple asset classes using mutual funds.
Who picks the investments?
Our Investment Research Department selects and monitors the approved
investments used in client portfolios. Your personal advisor ultimately
selects the specific investments in your portfolio based on your
investment strategy.
Do you only use mutual funds?
Our goals are to have professionally managed investment alternatives
that provide liquidity and diversification. Most Everyday Steward
portfolios consist of no-load mutual funds.
