Raoul Rodriguez, Wealth Manager

I am a CFP® professional (US designation) and Enrolled Agent specializing in the intricacies of working with expatriates, principally the American community in Mexico and Mexicans in the U.S. I know how wonderful (and challenging) it is to live as an expat because I have lived that life. I have owned and sold real estate and operated business on both sides of the U.S. - Mexico border. I grew up in Mexico City, but I have lived and traveled as an expat in many countries, including Venezuela, Sudan and the Republic of Georgia. I firmly believe that the financial planning process applied in a cross-border environment will significantly improve your life.

Ryan Firth, Mercer Street Company

Hi, I'm Ryan. I started Mercer Street Company because I believe there's an under-served market out there looking for sound, objective advice from a qualified professional who isn't looking to sell a financial product or will only work with folks based on how much money they have to invest. That was my experience when I was looking for a financial advisor to help me with my personal finances. Now, I've spent nearly two decades working as a financial consultant to businesses in various industries - a majority of that time has been in financial services. I now draw upon those professional and personal experiences to help clients address their unique financial concerns.
