Bill McCarthy is the leader of the FTB team and the guiding voice behind FTB's vision and strategic direction. Under Bill's leadership, he challenges and motivates our entire team to strive for excellence in everything we deliver to you.
FTB team members describe Bill as perceptive, thorough, focused and compassionate. He brings these skills to his relationships with FTB clients every day. Bill works diligently to understand each client's unique situation and tailor FTB's breadth of services to each family's individual needs.
Bill began his career at FTB after completing college. He made an immediate impact on the team and his responsibilities grew quickly. During Bill's career, he has been an integral part of the FTB leadership team, excelling in many roles over the years including associate, Financial Advisor, and the team's operational leader. From 2009-2018, Bill served as the leader for team member relations during a significant growth period for FTB as we grew the team's headcount by 50%. Demonstrating great skill in leadership and a passion for the business side of FTB, Bill was promoted in 2019 to be the leader of the team.
Bill obtained his bachelors degree in Finance from Indiana University, completed his MBA at Xavier University and attained the CFP® designation. He lives on the east side of Cincinnati with his wife, Dorrie, and their four children. In his free time, Bill enjoys spending time with his family, traveling to new places, and spending time on the golf course.
Dan is Senior Relationship Manager and Investment Strategy leader for the team. With over 30 years of experience, Dan has been recognized as an industry leader, appearing on multiple top financial advisor lists including Barron's, Financial Times and Forbes. Dan graduated from Miami University with a B.S. in finance and attained his Chartered Financial Analyst designation in 1997. He served as one of the fourteen advisors on the UBS FA Advisory Council (FAAC) representing the firms' advisors in helping senior management make UBS a more client and FA centric firm.
Dan served as board member or as a volunteer in a number of Charities or Non-Profits including the Cincinnati Business Alliance board, Saint Ursula Athletic Booster Board, Saint Ursula Ball Chair, Saint Ursula Golf Outing chair, Easter Seals, Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Finance Committee, Blue Ash YMCA board. Away from the office Dan enjoys working out, playing golf and spending time with family. He and his wife Shari have 2 children Brian and Maddie.
Rob is driven by the belief that our role as advisors is not just about numbers, but seeing a family’s potential, the potential for gaining purpose with wealth and helping families to “Maximize life today AND protect tomorrow.” Rob constantly raises the bar for how we deliver value for clients, whether it is “looking around corners” for unforeseen advice or leading initiatives to bring wellness education to clients because “wealth, without health of the body, mind and spirit, is meaningless”. These “robservations” have been engrained in FTB’s culture and help define our best-in-class service.
Rob credits his upbringing for helping shape who he is today. Growing up in a small town in Wisconsin, he learned many life lessons working in the family’s third generation bakery. Rob admits beginning the day at 3am was a tough lesson to embrace, but the daily effort to create quality products and service were repaid ten-fold by loyal delighted customers. Fascinated by books and taxes the bakery’s accountant advised on, he aspired to be a CPA. After landing a position at Deloitte, Rob fine-tuned his expertise to serving the complex compensation and tax needs of global executives. Despite a blossoming CPA career, Rob strived for more – deeper relationships, more opportunity to make an impact for families, and colleagues as passionate for helping others as he. He joined the team in 1999 and the rest, you can say, is history.
Today Rob enjoys working with high-level P&G executives, Fortune-500 CEOs and other ultra-high-net-worth families with many complex financial planning needs. He lives in Mariemont with his wife, Kara and is a proud father of two adult children, one studying animation and the other serving his county as an Officer of Marines. When he is not solving complex financial puzzles or coming up with a new robservation, he enjoys staying active cycling, skiing, traveling, and walking the family dog, Bardi (yes-named after Vince Lombardi. Go Pack Go!).
As the leader of our team’s investment strategy, Tim plays an essential role behind the scenes for all FTB families. Under Tim’s leadership, our investment strategy team works in concert with UBS CIO office, outside strategists and fund managers to develop FTB’s exclusive investment strategies. In addition, Tim leads the strategy team in providing investments ideas and recommendations, performing routine rebalancing and tax-loss harvesting, offering perspective on the markets, and taking action as circumstances change.
Tim also serves as the primary advisor for client families. He enjoys spending time on both sides of our industry – diving into the details of investment strategies as well as putting those strategies into action with clients as he helps them work towards their financial goals.
Tim graduated from Northern Kentucky University in 1994 and attained the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation in 2003. The CFA credential is "the highest distinction in the investment management profession", per the CFA Institute. Tim joined the FTB Financial Services team in 1998 and has been a valued member of the team ever since. In 2010, Tim was voted by the team as our FTB “player of the year” and in 2020 & 2021, Tim was honored by Forbes as one of the Best-in-state wealth advisors in Ohio. Tim is known on the team for his ability to break down complex investment concepts into simple terms, plus his quick wit and entertaining dance moves.
He is active in the community, volunteering through Junior Achievement, St. Vincent DePaul and Ronald McDonald house. In his free time, he enjoys playing golf and spending time with his wife, Tina, and their two daughters.
Kelly began her career as a paralegal at Greenebaum, Doll & McDonald law firm, gaining rich experience in estate planning and administration.

In 2001, she courageously made a career change and began as a new advisor trainee with UBS. Not for the faint of heart, Kelly thrived in her new environment, quickly gaining respect, trust, and confidence of clients and experienced advisors alike. She quickly found a home FTB Financial Services as an associate advisor, working closely with families and developing those deep connections she had longed for.
Today, Kelly is a primary advisor and one of the leaders of our team, earning recognition from Forbes as a one of America’s Top Women Advisors.

Working with diverse clients with specific needs, our team sees it as our top responsibility to understand each aspect of your unique and often complicated financial life.
What’s really important to you—today and for the long term? Our approach starts with questions and discussions that can help you organize your financial life into three key dimensions: Liquidity—to help provide cash flow for short-term expenses, Longevity—for longer-term needs and Legacy—for needs that go beyond your own.
Time frames may vary. Strategies are subject to individual client goals, objectives and suitability. This approach is not a promise or guarantee that wealth, or any financial results, can or will be achieved. All investments involve the risk of loss, including the risk of loss of the entire investment.
We do more than manage money.
We optimize potential.
We have decades of experience in portfolio management, but we’re also excellent at spotting talent. And by "talent," we mean people who know what they have and are willing to think creatively and resourcefully to express it in ways that not only surprise and delight themselves, but also can change the world.
We count those people among our most stellar clients—and also among the happiest people we’ve ever met. Because when you decide to leverage what you have to your highest purpose, your life takes on a new meaning.
Each member of our team has a specific role and responsibility. Beyond our specialties and experience, you have the strength of a dedicated and accessible team eager to solve your most pressing challenges.
Are you ready for a retirement that could span 30 years or more? What’s the right plan to help make sure your retirement funds last? The longer you spend in retirement, the greater the impact these decisions can have. Our team will work with you to help preserve your lifestyle and livelihood in retirement by understanding your goals, risk and time horizon.
Our team's investment process is based on philosophies developed over decades of experience and market analysis. To defend against normal investor behavior, we focus on clients' needs over the day to day noise of the market. Using proper risk management centered on asset allocation, we invest for the long term and accomplish the goals set by our clients.
