Barry Rhonemus

Managing Partner, Founder


Barry has over 20 years of experience serving the needs of ultra-high-net-worth clients, family offices, foundations and corporate entities. As a private bank wealth advisor for over a decade, he not only managed the relationships of the bank’s most important clients, but he also worked with other private bank professionals, developing strategies to solve diverse financial situations. His work ranged from the banking, credit, insurance and trust areas to investment management and family office—ranking him in the Top 10 of Wells Fargo Private Bank Wealth Advisors. Barry’s decision in 2010 to establish Juncture Wealth Strategies was part of his continued effort to bring innovative, customized solutions to the complex needs of ultra-high net worth individuals, families and nonprofits. He continues to enjoy addressing all of his clients' unique needs in the professional and caring manner that has been his hallmark for over two decades.

What Inspires My Work

The ability to connect with clients personally as well as professionally. I enjoy tackling the complex needs of people’s financial lives. I am passionate about providing succinct, easy-to-implement solutions that not only deliver financial clarity but also benefit our clients’ lives—and their family’s lives.

What Inspires My Life

Being a committed and loyal husband, step-father, grandfather and friend. To lead a life filled with honesty, integrity and high moral standards. To lead by example, giving back to those who have supported me along the way and assisting those who are in need.

Hannah Chapman, APMA®, CRPC®, CFP®

X² Wealth Planning

SENIOR WEALTH ADVISOR                                                     

I started out in the financial industry as a financial services representative at a small local bank in a little mountain town in 2006. That's where I first found my spark for finance, and my spark for mountains and hiking! In 2007 my husband and I moved from our little mountain town to Cincinnati, OH, and I moved from banking to financial planning and never looked back. I care deeply about my clients. I love seeing them achieve all the things they set out to do, and being a trusted advisor on their journey through life.  

In my free time, you can find me reading, weightlifting, or cuddling up and watching a good TV series with my husband. Our three kids keep us on our toes, and constantly remind us why we want and need to leave the world a better place than we found it. And I'm also at the stage of parenthood where every Disney movie makes me cry (why do they all have to be so sad?!). My big goals in life are to travel to every continent to hike through mountain ranges and learn about different cultures, and to change the way the financial services industry serves women. I hope my journey will cross paths with yours one day.

What Inspires My Work

I really enjoying using my background as “The Interpreter” to bring a client from a polite, but uncomfortable, nod of understanding to an “aha” moment of awareness. Professionals have made this industry fraught with complexity, it’s my job to translate it into useable knowledge.

What Inspires My Life

I am always in pursuit of the other perspective before I make a decision or judgement. If you get to know a person and understand their background and the shoes they’ve walked in, all of a sudden the world immediately around you seems more human.
