Our Commitment, Our Story

At Waverly, we serve with integrity and empathy, fostering strong relationships built on trust and respect. We are committed to treating each client and team member like family, where every voice matters and collaboration drives our success. Rooted in community and guided by purpose, we prioritize people above all—cultivating an environment where care, excellence, and humility define how we work and how we serve. With a relentless drive to excel, we strive to achieve shared success through teamwork and grace, ensuring that every action reflects our dedication to making a positive impact on the lives of those we serve.

A History Grounded in Purpose

Founded in 1999 in Birmingham, Alabama, Waverly Advisors began with a simple but powerful mission: to provide objective, client-first financial guidance grounded in trust. As a fee-only Registered Investment Adviser, we have always operated under a fiduciary standard, committed to putting our clients’ best interests at the center of every decision.

Over the years, our growth has been intentional—not just in assets or offices, but in values-aligned partnerships that share our dedication to excellence and care. In 2021, Waverly partnered with Wealth Partners Capital Group and HGGC’s Aspire Holdings, a step that enabled us to expand our reach while preserving the close-knit, relationship-driven culture that defines who we are.

Stronger Together

In December of 2024, Joshua L. Reidinger, our former CEO, passed away. A tragic time for a team as close as ours. Josh played an instrumental role in building our firm. He truly embodied our culture, leading by inspiring others, always seeing the potential in each of us, and encouraging us to reach our fullest potential. His influence on our company and on all of us is immeasurable. We will continue to carry his vision, passion, and heart in everything we do, striving every day to live up to the extraordinary example he set.

Whether with family, friends, or colleagues, Josh brought warmth, joy, and unwavering loyalty to everyone he encountered. While he had many passions, his greatest joy came from his family. His love for them was boundless and steadfast. He loved running and coached others in the sport. This pursuit mirrored his energy, determination, and commitment to pushing limits. Josh led by example, always ready to step in and provide calm guidance and swift action when faced with challenges.

Through every chapter of our journey, Waverly has remained steadfast in its belief that culture is our greatest asset. It guides how we lead, how we grow, and how we show up for our clients, for one another, and for the communities we serve.

In Memory of Josh
