Who We Are

Timberchase Financial is an independent, fee-only wealth management firm. We are dedicated to helping you gain command of your financial resources and empowering you to follow your passion in life. The firm was founded and is led by Bryan Hancock, MBA, ChFC, CFP®, after his own lengthy search for an advisor. Bryan found it challenging to locate a wealth management firm grounded in sound academic theory and its practical application. To this day, he invests for himself and his family with the same process he uses for his clients.

Bryan has a B.S. in Business from Samford University and an MBA from the University of Alabama, Birmingham. He holds the Chartered Financial Consultant designation and is a Certified Financial Planner® professional. He is a graduate of the Financial Planning Association’s Residency Program at DePaul University in Chicago; a member of the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (an association of fee-only professionals); and a member of the Estate Planning Council of Birmingham.

The son of missionaries, Bryan grew up in Alabama and South Korea. As a "third culture kid," he gained an understanding of the unique cultural benefits and complexities of living overseas. He is married, has four children, and lives in Hoover, Alabama. Bryan is a member of Oak Mountain Presbyterian Church and serves on the board of directors for two local charities. “In almost everything I do,” says Bryan, “I attempt to help others find their voice, and to follow it.” He considers it an honor to develop a deep working relationship with his clients; to empower them to realize their full potential; to guide them toward the resolution of complex issues; and to support their financial goals and charitable interests.
