About Meadowbrook

Ian Auerbach has one main goal: to help clients live the lives they want—without unnecessary stress. He calls himself a “professional worrier,” always anticipating challenges before they arise. Ian’s diligence gives people the confidence to let go of financial concerns and focus on what matters most to them.

As managing partner and portfolio manager, Ian approaches financial decision-making with a long-term, generational perspective. He guides clients with care, clarity, and an unwavering commitment to their goals. To Ian, being accessible and truly present for the people he works with isn’t just part of the job—it’s the heart of it. His motto is, “Whatever you need, we’ll figure it out together.”

Ian co-founded Meadowbrook Advisors to build something more than traditional wealth management—a place where people feel understood, supported, and confident. Before launching Meadowbrook, Ian spent three decades co-leading The Auerbach Group at RBC Wealth Management.
