Michael J. Bytnar, CFP®, CHFC®, RICP®
Co-Founder and Chief Investment Officer
For Michael, the best part of his work is helping people achieve their dreams. “It’s rewarding to see my clients reach their goals,” he says.
As co-founder and chief investment officer of The Affinity Group of Companies, Michael has more than two decades of experience in the financial service industry, supported by a bachelor’s degree in business. He also holds the Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) and Retirement Income Certified Professional (RICP®) designations. Michael is also a member of the nationally recognized group of Dave Ramsey SmartVestor Pros.
Before starting Affinity, Michael worked for a national Financial Service company. Seeing how each area of the business operated, Michael and his partners founded The Affinity Group with specific goals in mind.
A key difference between Affinity’s practice and others is its comprehensive approach to financial planning. “We look at each of our clients’ cases individually, and how each aspect of their portfolio will affect the portfolio as a whole,” Michael says. “Understanding how each of these aspects fits together helps us choose investments that will satisfy more of that client’s need.”
In addition to his role as a financial advisor, Michael also is responsible for developing and running Affinity’s managed stock and ETF portfolios. He is affiliated with investment advisory services offered through TFG Financial Advisors.
