- ADVISORY AND OPERATIONAL ASSOCIATE
Ria Shah
Ria supports both the operational and financial planning teams at Snyder Wealth Group, bringing thoughtful attention to detail and a passion for financial empowerment to every task. From preparing for client meetings to assisting with portfolio reviews and custom investment proposals, Ria plays a vital role in ensuring that every client experience is smooth, insightful, and aligned with their long-term goals.
With a background rooted in service and a global perspective shaped by her move from India to the U.S. at age 17, Ria is driven by the belief that financial freedom is about more than numbers it’s about having choices and breaking cycles. Inspired by witnessing the effects of financial illiteracy in her hometown, she entered the wealth management field to help others build security, stability, and possibility into their lives.
Ria was drawn to Snyder Wealth Group by the firm’s client-first culture and commitment to mentorship. She values being part of a team that pairs strategy with sincerity and believes that listening deeply is at the core of delivering great service.
She is especially passionate about promoting financial literacy for women and hopes to use her growing knowledge in the field to help bridge the gender wealth gap globally.
Ria holds a steadfast belief that a fiduciary’s greatest strength lies in their commitment to transparency, empathy, and doing what’s right. In her words, “Culture isn’t just about what you get it’s about what you give.” At Snyder, she’s proud to contribute with energy, initiative, and a mindset rooted in growth.
