Built on independence. Guided by experience.

With more than 21 years of experience helping clients navigate important financial decisions, Blair Griffin specializes in wealth planning, retirement income strategies, tax-efficient planning, estate planning, and legacy preservation. A graduate of the University of Tennessee, Blair is known for his practical, client-first approach and his ability to simplify complex financial decisions.

As Founder of G&L Smart Plans, Blair built the firm around a simple philosophy: wealth planning should go beyond investments alone. While building wealth is important, protecting it, distributing it efficiently, and transferring it to future generations often requires a broader strategy.

Working alongside a team of experienced professionals and trusted specialists, Blair helps individuals, families, and business owners coordinate investments, tax strategies, retirement income planning, estate planning, and legacy goals into one comprehensive plan.

His passion is helping clients gain clarity, make informed decisions, and create financial strategies that provide confidence, control, and lasting impact for the people and causes they care about most.
