My Story and Services

Elizabeth Dreyer, CFP®️ is a Financial Advisor and a member of The Fedor Group at Morgan Stanley. She has been with Morgan Stanley since 2018 and is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER (CFP®️) and a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFATM). Elizabeth also holds a CPA (nonpracticing at Morgan Stanley) and started her career at KPMG auditing the financial statements of public and private companies in manufacturing, maritime and retail industries. After ten years in accounting and corporate finance, Elizabeth spent two years in nursing home administration guiding families through the long-term care process. She currently serves as a board member for Companions on a Journey, a non-profit organization based in West Chester, Ohio, that provides bereavement and educational services to help those who grieve and educates those who do not understand the world of grief.

Elizabeth strives to take her clients relationships beyond financial advice. She does this by being a safe place for her clients to turn to when making important life decisions. Her passion for building client relationships and providing exceptional care started in her childhood as she learned from her father’s journey as a business owner and entrepreneur and saw firsthand how treating clients like family and always being curious led to his personal and professional success. Elizabeth believes that true financial well-being goes beyond numbers –it’s about creating a secure and fulfilling life.

Outside of the office, Elizabeth enjoys family time with her husband and their three children. Together you might find them outdoors or taking in Cincinnati attractions including the Cincinnati Zoo and Kings Island. Elizabeth also enjoys playing pickleball, working out, and attending concerts with her husband, Nash.

    1When Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC, its affiliates and Morgan Stanley Financial Advisors and Private Wealth Advisors (collectively, “Morgan Stanley”) provide “investment advice” regarding a retirement or welfare benefit plan account, an individual retirement account or a Coverdell education savings account (“Retirement Account”), Morgan Stanley is a “fiduciary” as those terms are defined under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and/or the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as applicable. When Morgan Stanley provides investment education, takes orders on an unsolicited basis or otherwise does not provide “investment advice”, Morgan Stanley will not be considered a “fiduciary” under ERISA and/or the Code.

    3Investors should consider many factors before deciding which 529 plan is appropriate. Some of these factors include: the Plan's investment options and the historical investment performance of these options, the Plan's flexibility and features, the reputation and expertise of the Plan's investment manager, Plan contribution limits and the federal and state tax benefits associated with an investment in the Plan. Some states, for example, offer favorable tax treatment and other benefits to their residents only if they invest in the state's own Qualified Tuition Program. Investors should determine their home state's tax treatment of 529 plans when considering whether to choose an in-state or out-of-state plan. Investors should consult with their tax or legal advisor before investing in any 529 Plan or contact their state tax division for more information. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC does not provide tax and/or legal advice. Investors should review a Program Disclosure Statement, which contains more information on investment options, risk factors, fees and expenses and possible tax consequences.
