Brock Eson & Wade Merritt
Wealth Advisors
We are passionate about bringing financial peace to the families we work with.
This is where your personal game plan starts. We’ll work together to identify your needs, wants, dreams, and concerns too. I’ll analyze items like your financial statements, tax returns, cash flow and budget. From there we will create a plan of action that I will coach you through.
We share your mission to help your retirement plan participants achieve their financial life goals. We can assist 401(k)s, 403(b)s, and non-qualified deferred compensation plans and their participants in making thoughtful decisions about their investment manager selection and plan design.
Once your financial goals are identified, we’ll build a customized investment portfolio to meet them. Leveraging RFG’s state-of-the art portfolio stress testing and risk assessment tools we ensure that your questions are answered, and needs are met. We’ll meet regularly to review your progress and adjust for any curve balls life may throw at you.
Visit SteadfastSimilar to how sports teammates need to know what play has been called, all members of your team need to know your plan too. I will work with the applicable members of your team – the CPAs, Attorneys, Lenders – to make sure we’re working together on your behalf.
Access real-time statements and customized reports related to your financial plan.

See First Hand Our Client Portal ExperienceKnowledge truly is power. I consider the teaching aspect of my job the most important – whether that’s in a private client meeting or a larger educational event. My larger events have included discussions on current market observations, investing in your values, and general wealth concepts. I’m especially passionate about educating women about money – without all the jargon so that they can focus on living Financially Fearless. See the latest initiatives here.
Recognizing that men and women think and talk about money differently, we created an educational website designed for women to learn how to live financially fearless.
Visit StrongHER MoneyMany people are confused about how their life insurance policy works and are unsure how to find out more, knowing it can be difficult to get objective advice from agents that work on commission. Many policies have not performed as expected leaving the policy owner unsure how to get more information. We bring clients through a process that reveals how their policy works, so that they know how to best manage it going forward.

Past generations had a different sense of financial security, largely having worked for large companies where there was a shared sense of loyalty between employer and employee, and as such those workers could retire knowing that their employer provided them a pension that they could expect to receive for their lifetime. Today we live in a world where people are solely responsible for preparing for their own financial future and are thus faced with the decisions of how much to save, how to invest, and how to thrive on what they’ve saved without the risk of running out of money.
Brock chose to become a financial advisor because he understood how confusing and difficult it was for the average person to be armed with the information to be able to handle those decisions well. Brock will walk you through how to get these bigger questions answered and be with you every step of the journey.
Brock graduated Samford University in 2003, where he met his wife Kristen. They live with their three children in Cahaba Heights. Brock enjoys mountain biking, playing and coaching soccer, and the study of history in his spare time.
Wade is originally from Hattiesburg, Mississippi, but is happy to call Birmingham home. He has been in this industry for eight years, having spent most of that time helping agents be successful. After much consideration, he decided that he was being called to help individuals navigate through life’s financial hurdles while building lasting relationships with his own clients. The thing Wade has enjoyed most since making that change has been to see firsthand the impact that sound financial planning can make in someone's life. Wade and his wife Ashley are blessed to be members of Mountain Brook Community Church. Along with being involved there, he enjoys golf, tennis, fishing, and hunting.
