Who We Are
At the Meyers Investment Group, we help individuals, families, and business owners navigate some of the most important financial decisions of their lives. Based in Grass Valley, California, we serve clients across across the US with the full resources of Robert W. Baird and a deeply personal advisory relationship.
We are a family-first practice. That mindset shapes how we work. We take the time to understand what matters most to you before recommending anything.
Our advisors specialize in complex planning situations: business transitions and liquidity events, retirement income strategy, 1031 exchange guidance, estate and legacy planning, trust administration, and retirement plans for business owners and high-income professionals. We match clients to the right solution, not the easiest one.
Why Clients Choose Meyers

At Meyers Investment Group, our guidance is built around your goals, not a specific product or provider. We create the strategy that fits your situation, not the one that's easiest to sell, and our focus stays on your outcome, not a transaction.
Clients come to us when the stakes are high and they want someone who will take the time to understand the full picture. We work with retirees, pre-retirees, business owners at every stage from active growth to a future sale, high-income professionals with or without staff, and families managing complex trust and estate needs.
What sets us apart:
- Independent, client-first planning built around your goals, not a sales agenda
- Access to Baird's institutional research, trust services, and advanced planning resources
- A team built for continuity. Your relationship is supported by advisors and specialists, not a single point of contact
- National reach with Northern California roots, headquartered in Greater Sacramento
