FOUNDER/OWNER

John Boyer is a proud Tampa native with over 30 years of experience in the financial industry. His journey began after graduating from the University of Florida, when he joined a large financial firm to work alongside his father, a seasoned advisor with 42 years of investment experience. Those early years were especially meaningful, as John had the opportunity to learn directly from his father, gaining lasting lessons in integrity, building trusted client relationships, and delivering thoughtful financial guidance before his father’s retirement in 1992.

In 1995, driven by an entrepreneurial spirit and a desire to offer transparent, independent advice, John launched his own firm, John Boyer Inc., a fee-based Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, John is dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of education, ethics, and client-focused service.  

Today, he continues the legacy his father began more than 75 years ago, helping individuals and families plan confidently for the future with clarity, care, and personalized guidance.

Outside of the office, John enjoys traveling with his wife, Tina, and their two sons. You’ll often find him cheering on the sidelines of a lacrosse game or fishing the local waters for snook, redfish, and trout.  John values the moments that make life meaningful.
