Services
Retirement saving and income strategies
Preparing for retirement doesn’t have to be stressful. At Round Table Retirement Partners, we work closely with you to develop a personalized plan that ensures you’re saving efficiently and generating reliable income for your future. Whether you’re just starting to save or nearing retirement, we focus on strategies that empower you to maintain financial security and enjoy the retirement you’ve always imagined.
Portfolio management
Your investments should reflect your goals and values. At Round Table Retirement Partners, we provide active portfolio management designed to grow your wealth while managing risk. By analyzing your financial objectives and market trends, we craft a balanced portfolio tailored to your needs. Our goal is to ensure your investments support your financial journey with confidence and clarity.
Insurance planning
Protecting your family and future is essential. At Round Table Retirement Partners, we take a comprehensive approach to insurance planning, addressing areas like life insurance, disability coverage, and long-term care. By evaluating your current policies and identifying gaps, we help create a plan that ensures peace of mind. You can trust us to help safeguard what matters most to you.
Our Process
Our process begins with a casual conversation about where you’ve been and where you’re going. We want to know what, and more importantly, who you are saving for. Once your goals have been defined as clearly as possible, we work together to chart the most efficient course to success. After the plan has been put in place and we have established our client/advisor relationship, our role shifts from planner to friend and accountability partner. Through regular check ins and updates, your team at Round Table will be there every step of the way to make sure you achieve what you determined was most important to you.
There is a reason we sit at a Round Table. Just like King Arthur, we want to foster unity and collaboration. We work tirelessly to gain the knowledge to offer sound, practical guidance, but we know the bedrock of our relationship with our clients must be a mutual trust and respect. Standing on pillars of honor, courage, and loyalty, we will do our best to provide you and your loved ones with a world-class experience.
About Us
Matt Maloney

Email: matt@roundtableretirementpartners.com
Matt Maloney, founder and CEO of Round Table Retirement Partners, was born and raised in Auburndale, FL. After graduating from Gardner-Webb University in 2006, he patrolled minor league baseball outfields across the nation chasing the dream. In 2011, he hung up the spikes and returned to his college focus of finance, joining Northwestern Mutual as a financial advisor. With exposure to much of what the financial services industry has to offer, Matt developed a passion for comprehensive retirement planning, earning the Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC) and Retirement Income Certified Professional (RICP) designations from The American College. In January, 2025, Matt decided the best way to serve his clients was to open his own firm, Round Table Retirement Partners.
After a decade of exploring the country, Matt found his way back to Polk County to be close to family and friends. He and his wife, Amber, live in Auburndale with their two children, Cora and Declan. When he’s not leaning into the Round Table, you can find him coaching Declan’s sports teams, watching Cora dance, or 3-putting at the local golf course.
