Chris Keeney

Financial Advisor & Investment Adviser Representative

Chris Keeney is a financial advisor and Investment Adviser Representative who helps individuals and families bring clarity, confidence, and structure to their financial lives—especially as they approach retirement. Chris blends detailed technical knowledge with practical, real-world guidance. He believes that good financial planning isn’t about chasing hot investments or complicated strategies, but about building durable plans that work through real life: careers, families, market cycles, and unexpected change.

What sets Chris apart is his ability to meet clients where they are. He understands firsthand the pressures of balancing income, family responsibilities, and long-term goals, and he takes pride in helping clients move from feeling overwhelmed to feeling in control. His planning philosophy emphasizes disciplined saving, smart tax-aware strategies, and intentional decision-making—always aligned with what matters most to the client. Chris is especially passionate about retirement planning, employer benefits, and helping working families make the most of the resources they already have.

Outside of his professional work, Chris is a husband and father of three, which shapes both his values and his approach to advising. He believes financial planning should support a full, meaningful life—not replace it—and he brings that mindset into every client relationship. Through The Retirement Smith, Chris aims to be a steady, trusted partner for those who want straightforward advice, long-term thinking, and a plan they can actually stick to.
