Meet the Author

Brandon M. Cox, CFP®, is the author of Lowcountry Retirement: A Fiduciary’s Perspective on Retirement Income, Taxes, and Financial Planning. He is also the founder of Coastline Complete Wealth, an independent, fee-only fiduciary investment advisory firm registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and based in Bluffton, South Carolina.

Since beginning his career in 2010, Brandon has worked with hundreds of families preparing for and navigating retirement. That experience inspired Lowcountry Retirement, a practical guide focused not simply on accumulating wealth, but on the decisions that come after decades of saving—how to create retirement income, plan for taxes, invest with purpose, and confidently enjoy the life you've worked to build.

Brandon is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional and Certified Financial Fiduciary® and is a member of the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA) and the Fee-Only Network.

Originally from Indiana, Brandon now calls the Lowcountry home. He lives with his wife, Amanda, and their two daughters, Hannah and Caroline. When he isn't working with families or writing about retirement, you'll usually find him with his family, on the boat, or somewhere near the water with a fishing rod in hand.
