W. Creighton Stuckart, CFP ®

Creighton’s approach to financial planning is built on the belief that a clear, evolving plan is the foundation for confidence — both now and in the future. He works closely with individuals and families to define their goals, build tax-efficient strategies, and help them navigate the complexities of preparing for retirement, protecting income, and planning their legacy.

After graduating from The Citadel in 2009, Creighton was commissioned as an officer in the United States Marine Corps. He served for seven years, including a deployment to Afghanistan in 2011 as an artillery forward observer and three years in a recruit training role at Parris Island, SC. His military background instilled the discipline, precision, and clarity that continue to shape his approach to financial planning today.

Creighton began his financial services career in 2016 at Merrill Lynch and co-founded Atlantic Investment Advisory Group in 2020 to deliver personalized, planning-first solutions without the influence of sales quotas or corporate product priorities. As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, he focuses on helping clients reduce taxes, build sustainable retirement income strategies, and structure their financial plans to adapt as life changes.

Creighton lives in Bluffton, SC, and is active in the local sailing community. He serves on the board for Harbor 20 Fleet 3 at the South Carolina Yacht Club, where he participates in competitive sailboat racing.

Creighton is the proud father of four children: Lillian, Heidi, Maxwell, and Vivian. When he’s not working with clients or racing sailboats, he enjoys running, cycling, and spending time outdoors with his kids.
