Biography
Lisa Bayer, CFA, CFP, is the Founder and Principal at Opus, having begun her career in finance 30 years ago when she graduated in Finance from the University of Illinois. Her myriad roles in finance, education and financial designation converged to shape her final career choice as a Wealth Manager and Financial Planner. She'd previously worked in securities compliance, investment analysis, institutional portfolio management, and teaching investment and financial planning topics at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
In working with clients, Lisa tries to help her clients gain control over their financial lives by helping them stay disciplined and be aware of the implications of the financial choices they make. First, however, it's important to listen and understand one's past and anticipated journey before offering strategies and solutions. While Lisa is an analyst at heart, she believes her primary service is to help clients attain the peace of mind that comes with financial freedom so they can live as they choose. Lisa is a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA); a Certified Financial Planner (CFP); obtained her MBA in International Business from DePaul’s Graduate School of Business; and her BS in Finance from the University of Illinois.
Lisa grew up in the Chicago area and serves clients across the United States. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time in natural settings Thus far, one of her greatest joys has been watching her children—both now attending college--evolve into kind, smart, empathetic human beings who she believes will change the world for the better.
