About Me
Hi! I’m Alan Rhode, CFP®, CPWA®, CEPA®, RLP®, the Founder and CEO of Modern. Wealth.
I've accumulated over a decade of expertise as an active member of several professional institutions like the CFP Board, The Investment and Wealth Institute, The Exit Planning Institute, and the Kinder Institute of Life Planning. I’ve guided countless individuals, families, and businesses to their financial goals during my time at prestigious firms such as Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, and United Capital. My thoughts and insights have been shared and recognized in prominent publications and platforms like The New York Times, MarketWatch, Markets Insider, ABC, NBC, and Fox Business.
I’m a proud Penn State University graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance. I’ve also completed my CFP education from the American College of Financial Services, the Certified Private Wealth Advisor® from Yale School of Management, the CEPA® credential from the Exit Planning Institute, and the Registered Life Planner designation from the Kinder Institute of Life Planning.
When I’m not helping people optimize their wealth or exit their business, you can find me auto-cross racing, enjoying Philadelphia sports, working out, relaxing on the beach, savoring a rare bourbon or a full-bodied Cabernet, or, most importantly, cherishing moments with my family and friends—they’re my world.

What to expect in the first meeting
In this approximately 30-minute complimentary conversation, you can expect a pressure-free environment. Our goal is not to sell you a service but rather to understand your needs, goals, and expectations. We welcome all your questions – whether about our fees, our process, or anything else you have in mind.
We'll give you a brief, clear overview of our approach and proven methodologies, which integrates Financial Planning, Wealth Management, Life Planning, and Behavioral Finance into a tailored process for each client called EVOKE.
If it feels like we're a good fit, we'll move on to the Vision stage, where we dig deeper into your financial plan. If it doesn’t, we're happy to recommend an alternative that might better suit your needs. Either way, as an independent fiduciary, you can be sure we have your best interests at heart.
This introductory call is more than a meet-and-greet. It's the first step towards restructuring your financial priorities and paving the way to your financial freedom.
