More About Us

Dustin Stanley
Financial Advisor & Educator

Academy of Retirement is a part of Stanley Wealth and Retirement but all proceeds go to charity. Stanley Wealth and Retirement is a financial firm that was founded for a singular purpose: help pre-retirees and retirees confidently navigate their transition into retirement. Founded by nationally ranked advisor Dustin Stanley, we believe that retirement planning should be empowering, not overwhelming. So, we support our clients with caring, hands-on service that helps them align their life vision with their financial priorities. To do so, we address each person and family’s unique needs: their desired lifestyle, their legacy priorities, their income needs, their values. From there, we design personalized strategies that allow them to plan smarter and retire better. From the beginning Dustin, your Financial Instructor, has dedicated his career to educating individuals approaching or in retirement on the key strategies that matter most. Academy of Retirement is also supported by a team of trusted professionals with a range of certifications and licenses.
