Michael Solik serves as Director of the GFP Family Office and Head of Investment Solutions at Gryphon Financial Partners. In his role, Michael employs a consultative approach to deliver comprehensive financial planning services. His expertise encompasses investment management, trust and estate planning, business succession strategies, risk management, and concierge services all tailored to meet the unique needs of each client.

Michael also provides strategic advisement on alternative investments, helping clients evaluate and incorporate non-traditional assets, such as private equity and real estate, into their broader portfolios. In addition to overseeing portfolio performance and leading the firm’s Investment Committee planning processes, Michael engages directly with clients to discuss their investments and communicate the committee’s strategic outlook. He is also committed to educating younger generations as they become more involved in their family’s financial decision-making, ensuring lasting financial stewardship.

Michael was initially drawn to finance by a fascination with capital markets. As he explored various career paths while in school, he was most energized by seeing the transformative role wealth can place in helping individuals and families achieve their most important goals. He found financial planning as a powerful tool for turning aspirations into reality. This evolved into a career focused on stewardship, helping families navigate complexity, make confident decisions, and build a legacy that reflects their value system.

Michael is fulfilled knowing that he has played a role in supporting the success of families however they choose to define it. Success is not measured solely in financial terms, but through helping clients live with purpose and clarity across generations. This means not only serving the first generation but also helping educate and empower future generations. “Being a part of that journey is one of the most rewarding aspects of my work,” he says.

Holding the Certified Investment Management Analyst®, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, and Certified Private Wealth Advisor® certifications, Michael brings a wealth of knowledge to his practice.

Currently, Michael resides in New Albany, Ohio, with his wife and three young children. He enjoys community engagement, traveling, and getting outside when he is able to either to fire up the grill or to go for a run.
