We created Fully with the belief that everyone — regardless of the size of their investment portfolio — can benefit from fiduciary financial advice.
Fully is a premier, boutique firm by design — intentionally built to prioritize high-touch service and greater access to fee-only financial planning for people in our hometown of Athens, Georgia.
Our purpose is to provide real financial advice that helps people live their lives to the fullest. That's why we treat every single one of our clients as if they are family — and always put their best interests first.
Ben is an experienced Certified Financial Planner™ professional and co-founder of Fully Financial.
He earned his master’s degree in financial planning from the University of Georgia in 2016, and has spent his entire career as a fee-only financial planner.
Since he was 19, Ben has been passionate about helping people understand financial nuances and make money decisions that are best for them and their families.
Beyond serving his clients, Ben has provided pro bono financial counseling and tax preparation services for families in the Athens community. He also works as a part-time instructor of financial planning at the University of Georgia.
Outside of financial planning, Ben serves as the treasurer for two local nonprofits: Books for Keeps and Athens Pride and Queer Collective. He also enjoys spending time with his three rescue dogs, reading Harry Potter, running, and baking.
Cody is a skilled communicator, strategic business leader, and co-founder of Fully Financial.
He earned his bachelor’s degree in public relations from the University of Georgia. For the first seven-plus years of his career, Cody worked for an independent communications and consulting agency, where he served national, regional, and local brands.
Cody was drawn to the fee-only financial planning industry because he believed this approach truly made a difference in people’s lives, and he wanted to find ways to connect more people to fiduciary advice and planning services.
Outside of the office, Cody serves as president of the board for Athens Area Habitat for Humanity and on the governance committee for Athens Pride and Queer Collective. He enjoys watching sports (Go Dawgs!), visiting coffee shops, taking walks around Athens, and spending time with his family, including his three rescue dogs — Finn, Delilah, and Chance.
