With over 25 years of experience guiding individuals and families through life’s financial complexities, Bart Butler is more than a financial advisor—he’s a trusted partner and friend of the family. As the founder of Right Side Financial, Bart leads with clarity, competence, and care, offering relationship-driven tax strategy and legacy planning that helps clients feel at ease, taken care of, and confident in their future.
Bart’s approach to financial wellness was born early in life—from a $1 allowance at age six to four jobs during his senior year of high school and graduating college debt-free. That same discipline, paired with deep professional expertise, now drives his mission to help others build peace of mind and a lasting legacy.
A CPA and CFP®, Bart is one of only ~400 advisors trained under Ed Slott’s elite tax planning program. He specializes in simplifying complex decisions, serving as a “financial quarterback” who oversees everything from Roth conversions and RMDs to long-term inheritance planning. His clients, many of whom come to him after major life transitions, trust him to handle the details so they can focus on what matters most.
Bart is the author of The Right Side of Money, a book inspired by decades of financial wisdom and the belief that true freedom comes from preparation. Whether meeting in-person in Columbus, OH or virtually from across the country, Bart’s classic, down-to-earth style brings confidence and comfort to every conversation.
