Main Street Advisors

Main Street Advisors

Bobby D. Hinkle, a former advisor at a large financial institution, started Main Street Advisors in 2012 in Greenwich, Connecticut. Disillusioned with impersonal, profit-driven methods, he built a firm that offers holistic planning — from investments and insurance to tax and estate advice — under the tagline 'We don't turn clients away based on where they start.' The firm's Prosperity Blueprint® is the core financial planning framework it uses to tailor strategies for retirees, young professionals, and high-net-worth families alike. The firm's service mix spans financial planning, investment management, insurance products (including Medicare), property and casualty, advanced tax planning, estate planning, mortgage services, and real estate. Main Street Advisors operates a multi-office structure with locations in Greenwich, Abu Dhabi, Seattle, London, Surry Hills, New York, Kingwood, and Shanghai — a global geographic footprint unusual for a firm of its positioning. The firm also runs Main Street University, an educational video series open to clients and the public. Main Street Advisors does not disclose AUM or a professional headcount publicly. Bobby Hinkle serves as Founder, President and CIO; his wife Christi Hinkle acts as Office Manager and a licensed Realtor. The team includes Financial Advisor Hunter Freese and Business Development Director Joshua Hight. Bobby Hinkle also serves on the Advisory Board at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, reflecting a philanthropic focus tied to his daughter's leukemia treatment. What distinguishes Main Street Advisors is its deliberate 'anti-Wall Street' positioning — neither a traditional RIA nor a single-family office, it pitches the family office model to clients of varying net worth via a multi-office global structure. The firm bundles comprehensive services under one roof, treating each client's plan as a tailored 'Blueprint' rather than a product shelf.
