Lisa Bayer

In 2015, faced with the prospect of becoming an empty nester, Lisa made the leap to put her Chicago area home for sale and move directly to Boulder’s foothills. She has not looked back since. At the time, Lisa was a partner at a wealth management firm, and after her move to Colorado, she launched her own registered investment advisory firm—Opus Financial Solutions. 

Before moving to Colorado, Lisa worked in securities compliance, investment analysis, institutional portfolio management, and teaching investments and financial planning topics at the undergraduate and graduate levels.These different fields of study methodically converged to shape her final career path. Given her personal experience with divorce with young children, she developed an expertise in divorce financial planning and mediation to help people make more informed financial decisions and make the process of divorce less painful and expensive. 

In her spare time, Lisa enjoys discovering new authors, playing the piano, traveling the globe, and especially spending time in natural settings, hiking, camping, mountain-biking, skiing--or whatever the weather dictates. She especially loves taking weekend road trips in her campervan or being at her off-grid cabin in northern Colorado. Lisa has served in many volunteer roles over the course of her life, mostly relating to educating and mentoring the underprivileged. Thus far, one of her greatest joys has been watching her own children—both recent college graduates--evolve into kind, smart, empathetic human beings who she believes will change the world for the better.
