Derek McCord

As a Financial Planner with Financial Partners Group, I have the privilege of helping clients organize their financial lives and plan for the future. Before becoming a financial planner, I spent 17 years in the automotive industry, including seven as a service manager for several high-end dealerships. Although I enjoyed my time in that field, I sought a career with a better work-life balance and less stress, which led me to financial planning a profession I quickly fell in love with.

My journey into this industry began after reaching out to a successful friend in the life insurance business. I started as an independent broker, but it wasn't until I became a Financial Planner that I truly found my calling. Helping people with their finances has proven to be incredibly rewarding, and as a part of Financial Partners Group, I feel fortunate to be able to make a meaningful difference in such a vital aspect of their lives.

Originally from Lancaster, PA, I've lived in Raleigh since 2011, where I moved in search of new opportunities. Outside of work, I'm a proud father of four, with my son Landen playing football, my daughters Harper and Aven dancing competitively and my daughter Wesley playing soccer. When I'm not spending time with my family, I enjoy weightlifting, outdoor activities, and occasionally indulging in a video game with my son or working on cars as a hobby.
