Candace L. DeLuca, M.S., CFP®, AAMS®

With 25 years of experience in the financial services industry, I am dedicated to helping my clients pursue their financial dreams by understanding their needs and preferences, offering knowledgeable investment advice, and providing a level of personal service that exceeds expectations. I focus on holistic financial planning, retirement income planning, and wealth management for individuals, families and business owners.
 
In 2017, I launched an independent financial planning practice, DeLuca Financial Strategies. Having an independent practice allows me and my team to address the unique needs of my clients, always striving to put their best interests first in everything we do while providing outstanding service.
 
Previously, I spent 20 years as a Financial Advisor at Wells Fargo Advisors. My formal education includes earning a Master of Science degree in Personal Financial Planning from the College for Financial Planning and a Bachelor of Science degree in finance from The Ohio State University. In addition, I have completed rigorous coursework and examinations to earn the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™  certification and Accredited Asset Management Specialist^SM designation.
 
Active in the local community, I have participated in several civic and community organizations, including Board Member and Chair of the Investment and Development Committees for The Women’s Fund of Central Ohio, President of the St. Brendan School Advisory Board, St Brendan Parish Finance Committee Chair, and a member of the Professional Advisors Group for the Catholic Foundation. I am currently on the Board of Directors for the Financial Planning Association (FPA) Central Ohio Chapter and Pro-Bono Director. 
 
My husband and I live in Hilliard with our three sons and truly enjoy all central Ohio has to offer. In my leisure time, I enjoy spending time with our three boys, especially watching them play sports, traveling, and cheering on the Buckeyes!
