Our Team

Kelly Campbell, Chairman and CEO of Campbell Wealth Management, has been in business for over 25 years.

For 2012-2017 Kelly Campbell has been recognized in the Top 25 in Virginia and in America’s Top 1200 Financial Advisors as named by Barron’s Magazine.*

While Kelly has always said, “A successful retirement comes from proper planning,” this is pursued through his trademarked program, Right on Retirement™ (ROR.) ROR is Kelly’s five-step process that he and his team take all of their clients through to work towards their long-term success in retirement.

Kelly graduated from the University of Maryland with a degree in finance. A continuous student, he has achieved the following designations: Certified Financial Planner™, Chartered Financial Consultant™, Chartered Mutual Fund Counselor™, and Accredited Investment Fiduciary™.
