about
Rian Waterman

Rian has advised business owners and executives for over 15 years. He began his career as a transactional attorney in private practice, primarily focusing on corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions, and ultra-high-net-worth estate planning. As an attorney, Rian helped dozens of business owners negotiate the sale of their businesses and restructure their legal affairs. However, he found that his clients had the most robust outcomes when they proactively set the stage for an eventual sale – and had a plan for the next chapter of their lives. This experience led him to leave the law practice to pursue a more holistic advisor-client relationship within the wealth management space.  

Rian founded the Accelerate team to help clients meet five objectives: (1) Avoid the mistakes of their peers; (2) Maximize their current & future earnings potential; (3) Minimize their tax burden; (4) Position their businesses as attractive acquisition prospects; and (5) Prepare to exit on their terms successfully. We utilize a proven process to build, protect, and transfer generational wealth – focusing on relentlessly executing strategies that move the needle.

Before joining Farther, Rian was a Vice President & Wealth Advisor at Goldman Sachs and United Capital Financial Advisors and an investment analyst for a boutique investment consulting firm. He graduated from New York University, obtained his J.D. from the University of Iowa College of Law, and is a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Charterholder. He currently serves on the Board of Directors of the John Deere Classic, a PGA TOUR event, and his local Habitat for Humanity affiliate.

FAQS
What’s the first step to getting started, and what should I expect during our first conversation?

Start by scheduling a discovery call. Think of it as a mutual interview, not a sales pitch. We’ll explore your goals, assets, and financial vision. If we’re the right fit, our Concierge Team seamlessly handles setup and transfers, ensuring a smooth, tax-efficient transition from day one.

As a fiduciary, how are your investment incentives legally aligned with my personal success?

Farther advisors act in your best interest and are fiduciaries. We’ve eliminated commissions to remove conflicts and use a simple, transparent fee structure. Our growth depends directly on your success — we thrive only when your wealth does.

How does your proprietary technology enhance, rather than replace, human investment expertise?

Our technology amplifies — not replaces — human expertise. The platform manages daily precision tasks, freeing your advisor to focus on strategy and nuance. This blend of advanced automation and human insight ensures your wealth benefits from both innovation and personal guidance.

How do I know my information and my wealth are safe on Farther’s platform?

Farther’s platform uses advanced encryption, continuous monitoring, and a proprietary vault architecture engineered for maximum data integrity. Backed by leading global tech investors like Alphabet’s CapitalG, our systems are designed and vetted to keep your wealth safe.

How do you coordinate my entire financial life — from taxes and estate planning to my complex investments — in one place?

Farther acts as your wealth’s central hub. Our unified platform brings all your accounts together, while your dedicated advisor orchestrates your investment, tax, and estate strategies. The result is a seamless, proactive, and fully coordinated approach to managing every part of your financial life.
