Krystle Atkins began her career in wealth management in 2014 and joined Merrill as a financial advisor in 2019. Her approach is centered on getting to know what is most important to her clients to help ensure they feel comfortable, confident, and in control of their future. While not her only type of client, Krystle does focus on working with those who have experienced loss, whether through divorce or a death, as well as women in business. Krystle is a Cincinnati, Ohio native and went to The Ohio State University for both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees. She is involved with the St. Elizabeth Foundation, a board member of Master Provisions, and the Northern Kentucky leader of Second Saturday - a workshop that educates people on the legal, financial, and emotional aspects of divorce. In her free time she likes to read, play and watch sports, and spend time with her dog, husband, husband's four boys, and her identical twin girls, Ella and Hailey.
Our team focus is on understanding the privileges and responsibilities that come with wealth and the aspirations and goals of each of our clients. I personally serve the needs of affluent families throughout the United States, particularly women in business and those who have experienced divorce and widowhood. Being a female in a male-dominated industry, I understand the unique challenges and rewards that brings. After experiencing my own divorce and watching my grandmother become a widow, I feel a calling to serve these groups and their complex wealth management needs.
The cornerstone of my business is the power of relationships. I understand the nuanced requirements and inherent complexity that wealth can involve as well as the emotional turmoil that a woman, divorcee, or widow/widower may experience. I strive to be my clients' trusted resource for building, managing, and preserving their wealth while educating and empowering them. The ultimate goal is to ensure my clients are comfortable, confident, and in control of their finances and their future.
We develop customized financial strategies for each client based on risk parameters, timeliness, and cash flow needs as well as their values and objectives. We view risk with a wide lens, encompassing financial markets, structuring of assets, estate planning strategies, and tax regulations.
