At Richardson Group Wealth Protection, we believe financial planning is about more than numbers — it’s about people, families, and futures.
Every conversation starts with listening, understanding your goals, and building a plan that fits your life. From our roots here in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, to the clients we serve across the country, we’re proud to bring clarity, compassion, and confidence to every stage of retirement planning.
Founded in 1996 by Philip L.

Our team has worked with countless retirees just like you. Our goal is simple: make sure you get the retirement that you’ve earned. We serve Lancaster, York, and Dauphin counties.
Would you buy a house if you had to pay a lifetime annual fee to the broker who sold you your home? Of course not. We'll show you how to maximize your returns without fees.
We decided 25 years ago to only use products that have guarantees of no market losses on your initial investment. Your funds get part of the gains of the underlying index, for example the S&P 500, but you get none of the losses.
After you retire, you should consider if other income streams, aside from your pension or social security, are necessary. We've built guaranteed income plans for hundreds of retirees just like you.
We offer free-tax consultations to identify ways to reduce your tax burden and optimize your portfolio for current and future tax situations.
