I Help People Plan For a More

Confident Financial Future

Hi! I'm

Bill Lethemon

I’m on a mission to help people get more out of their retirement resources.

My Vision

My goal is simple: provide the guidance and tools you need to create the retirement you’ve always imagined. I believe everyone deserves clear, actionable guidance that cuts through the complexity and focuses on what really matters – your goals, your dreams, and your future.

The primary goal with all of this is to help you get more out of your retirement resources to move you closer to your dream retirement. 

The Personal Side

At 53, I live in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan with my wife Kristi, our Mini Golden Doodle Louie, and (when they’re home from their post-college adventures) our two adult children. When I’m not helping clients plan their financial futures, you’ll find me skiing down mountains, hiking up them, or exploring new places with my family. I’m also an avid stand-up paddle boarder and cyclist – basically, anything that keeps me active and outdoors!

The Professional Journey

My fascination with finance started early – really early. While other kids were reading comic books, I was devouring anything I could find about business and the stock market. (Yes, I was that kid.)

This passion led me to Michigan State University, where I earned my finance degree while interning at Merrill Lynch. Little did I know, this internship would shape my entire approach to financial planning.

A Defining Moment

In 1993, fresh out of college at age 22, I thought I was signing up to be a “stockbroker” at Merrill Lynch. Instead, they made me the financial planning coordinator for their Dearborn office. After intensive training at The Merrill Lynch headquarters in Princeton, New Jersey, I found myself creating comprehensive financial plans for the firm’s top clients.

Here’s the crazy part: In just one year, I developed over 180 financial plans. While most 22-year-olds were trying to figure out their first job, I was diving deep into the financial lives of hundreds of families.

The Light Bulb Moment

This experience taught me something crucial: A sound investment strategy is important, but a comprehensive financial plan? That’s what truly changes lives. I watched firsthand as clients went from confusion and uncertainty to clarity and confidence, all because they finally had a roadmap for their financial future.

This revelation has guided my entire career and led to the creation of Money Evolution. Today, I’m more passionate than ever about helping people create financial plans that aim to bring their dreams to life.

Why Financial Planning Matters

Over the past 30 years, I’ve learned one thing for certain: a sound financial plan makes all the difference. While other advisors might focus primarily on investments, I’ve always believed in comprehensive planning. It’s why I started Money Evolution in 2009 – to help more people create retirement plans that actually work.
