Austin is an advisor and partner with Grandview Square Financial. He primarily works with retirees, executives at publicly traded companies, family farms and business owners.
Austin takes a relationship-first approach, focusing on understanding each client’s goals, values, and challenges. He is known for translating sophisticated strategies into clear, real-world concepts that clients can relate to and act on.
“Financial planning isn’t just about numbers—it’s about people. My role is to simplify the complex and help my clients make confident decisions that support the life they want to live.”
Within the firm, Austin leads our Estate and Tax Planning practice, ensuring that every financial strategy is built not just to grow wealth, but to protect it and pass it on intentionally. He works closely with business partner AJ Robbel, who leads our firm’s Investment Strategy and Portfolio Management. Together, they deliver an integrated approach that aligns growth with thoughtful tax and estate planning.
At Grandview Square Financial, our philosophy is simple and clear: help clients grow their wealth, minimize and mitigate taxes, and ensure their assets ultimately go where they intend.
“The greatest honor I can serve any family, is to be there when life isn’t going well—not just when life is going well.”
Austin believes every plan should reflect the family behind it.
“At Grandview Square Financial, there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all financial plan. Everything we do is customized from the ground up for each client and each family.”
Austin has earned the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ designation, Retirement Income Certified Professional designation (RICP®), and holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance from Concordia in St. Paul Minnesota.
“Austin is a humble, thoughtful, hard-working, and brilliant planner and partner. Clients are naturally drawn to him, and the trust he builds is what helps turn introductions into lasting partnerships serving as the growth engine of our firm. I imagine his clients love seeing him as he hops out of his Chevy pickup!” — John Rusciano, Founder and Principal
