Chief Financial Officer

Tyler Ford brings a solid finance foundation to his role as Chief Financial Officer at the Advaita Collective. He oversees financial operations, ensures compliance, and guides budgeting to support the company’s growth, particularly in managing and expanding the real estate portfolio. Although his expertise lies in finance, Tyler’s true passion is helping people understand themselves and thrive. This role allows him to merge his financial skills with a deeper purpose—supporting a dedicated team committed to guiding individuals through life’s complexities.

Before joining Advaita, Tyler served as a Portfolio Management Analyst at Asset Planning Services Inc., making key investment decisions for a value-focused equity portfolio. Additionally, he co-founded and manages By George Band LLC, overseeing finances, contractor management, and brand development while also performing as the band’s lead singer and guitarist. Tyler holds a degree in Economics and Philosophy from Washington and Lee University.

“My journey has taken me from co-founding and managing a successful regional band to co-managing over $100M in assets at a financial planning firm,” Tyler shares. “At Advaita, I’ve found a unique opportunity to apply my financial skills to a mission that goes beyond numbers. My focus is on empowering our providers with the resources they need to make a real difference in the lives of our clients. By aligning our financial strategies with our mission of holistic care, I ensure that every decision supports initiatives that foster connection and well-being. Through thoughtful budgeting and resource allocation, I’m committed to creating an environment where both our team and our clients can truly flourish.”

When he’s not working, you can find Tyler playing guitar, running, or trying to convince himself not to buy another fancy coffee gadget.
