Kevin Tamlyn

Strategic Advisor - Employer Solutions

Kevin’s office represents our branch office in Arizona and is located in Scottsdale. Kevin graduated with a B.B.A. in Finance from the University of Iowa prior to attaining a Masters Certificate in Financial Practices from St. Xavier University in Chicago. Beginning his financial services career at Merrill Lynch in Chicago in 1998, Kevin has focused on working with the financial needs and challenges of business owners and CFOs.

Having passed the Certified Financial Planning exam back in 2003, Kevin applies that planning-based approach to consulting with businesses to help derive the best economic scenarios. Everything is assessed from a short, mid, and long-term approach and viewed through the lense of financial impact, benefit/cost ratios, and after-tax cash flows.

Feeling that our healthcare industry lacks consumer awareness and transparency as it relates to making wise healthcare choices, Kevin is passionate about bringing better solutions to businesses and their employees.
Due to these inefficiencies, healthcare inflation has been an increasing headwind to business profitability. Moreover, Kevin feels the traditional broker/advisor-to-client relationship has increasingly become flawed as some of the most financially-beneficial ideas for businesses are being suppressed for a variety of factors.

The Tamlyn Family consists of 5 children and his wife, Julie. They are all involved in travel sports and also enjoy hiking, biking, fishing, and horseback riding in Arizona.
