What Our Clients Think
Testimonials
Thomas Gardner
Bryce was amazing. One of the most straight forward and honest people I've met. Someone i can trust.

Jonah Pollone
I am a local M&A advisor, advising clients in the sale of their companies doing $2m-$50m in revenue. I'm advising a client who receives investment advice from Masonboro and have been impressed with their firm. Ryan Burton is knowledgeable and trustworthy, and his office is polished & professional.
Jerrod Lowry
I am giving Masonboro Advisors five gold stars - and that's only because Google reviews won't let me give them more! My wife died in Nov at age 38. She and I thought we had plenty of time to create a long term financial plan. While winding up legal matters brought on by my wife's death, my lawyer recommended meeting with Ryan Burton. Ryan met with me immediately. Within weeks he developed a plan to ensure I live within my budget, set up funds for the future education needs of our three children, and taught me how to secure my retirement. His time and attention greatly eased my stress. I plan to use their services for future investments and strongly recommend them to you!
Blessings,
Rev. Jerrod B. Lowry

John Whitley
Masonboro Advisors has advised me on both personal and business items. They are able to give you the big firm advice and capabilities all while treating you with the personal small firm feel. They have always gotten back quickly to me with any questions I have and have always done a great job of explaining everything to me in a way that I understand. I learned quickly no matter how small or big your portfolio is to manage, Masonboro Advisors was exactly the type of Advisors I was looking for and now wouldn't trust anyone else with my financial needs. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Tim Koehler
I have been with Bryce Edmister at Masonboro Advisors for a little over a year.
I can't say enough good things about him.
He is available to talk or meet face to face anytime (no matter how small the question). He also regularly updates me about things that I might need to know.
And most importantly, since he is dealing with my money, I have complete confidence in Bryce and trust that he has my best interests at heart. My money feels safe with him and Masonboro Advisors and I appreciate that.
Alex Goodell
I first went to Masonboro Advisors about a year ago for investment / money management advice, and I'm so glad I did. Bryce Edmister is my financial advisor and he is fantastic! He is knowledgeable, answers all of my questions, provides information in understandable terms, checks in and provides updates regularly, and is very accessible. I like that he is happy to meet in person to answer question and offer advice, and the office is very professional and has a friendly vibe.
