Our Firm



Ronald L. Dison, CFP® has been in private practice as a financial planner since 1980.  Effective Janurary 1, 2002, we are doing business as Dison Wealth Management (DWM). 

ECA Tax Services, Inc., our wholly owned sister company, provides an executive level tax preparation service for our financial planning clients at their request. Mr. Ronald Dison is also an Enrolled Agent (EA).

New for 2022:

As my current Investment clients know, significant steps have been taken in anticipation of my future retirement by implementing a succession plan.

Marc Guess is a friend and colleague I have worked with. Looking to the future and to reduce the impact of the transition concerning retirement or, should something happen to me, Marc and I are now Joint Registered Representatives (Joint Rep(s)). Clients now have 2 Registered Representatives to look after their best interests. All of my clients were informed and accepted the addition of Marc.

Here is some background information on Marc.

Beginning in 2001, Marc became a Registered Representative for IFG/Multi Financial which in January of 2013 became Cetera Advisors LLC.

During this time, Marc also worked for State Auto Insurance Co.: from 2006 to 2019, when he retired. After this, he began working as a Supervisor for Quad Associates; an Insurance Industry support entity focusing on Compliance and Regulatory issues. All told, Marc has over 35 years of experience in the Insurance Industry. And Marc has been a Registered Representative for 20 years. (Further details of his employment background, including specific areas of his expertise in the Insurance Industry, appear on Marc’s resume which is available upon request.)

Marc holds a B.S. Management degree from Ball State University.

Marc also holds an Indiana Life Insurance License

My staff and I continue to service our clients personally.  Marc, as “Joint Rep”, will be in the background unless he is needed. He will be studying and observing investment account activities to familiarize himself with our clients and has already met with some: virtually as well as in-person.

When I ultimately do retire, my name will be dropped from investment accounts. Clients will see no change other than the change of Registered Representative/Financial Advisor.

I trust this implementation of a succession plan has made all current and prospective clients feel better about the issue of my future retirement.

What is an Enrolled Agent?

First, an Enrolled Agent is not an employee of the IRS or any government agency. Enrolled Agent means that the individual is "enrolled" with the IRS to act as an "agent" for the taxpayer. EAs are one of only three categories of people authorized by the Treasury Department to represent all classes of taxpayers before any administrative level of the IRS, the others being CPAs and Attorneys.

EAs earn the credential by passing an extensive two-day exam on tax laws. Administered by the IRS, it is a difficult exam with only about 30% of applicants passing each year. In addition, there is a significant continuing education requirement.back to FAQs

What is a Certified Financial Planner?
