Henry (Dan) Kinney

As the name of my firm, Retire Right Consulting Services, suggests, I specialize in helping employers, employees, and individual clients achieve a successful retirement. With over 35 years in the industry, I’ve had the privilege of guiding many clients toward their retirement goals. My experience has helped me identify each client’s unique needs and a developing a financial plan to help them retire with confidence.

How I Help

  • For Business Owners & Employers: I consult with business owners to evaluate retirement and 401(k) plan designs, assist plan sponsors in managing the administration and performance of their plans, and educate employees on the importance of saving for retirement.
  • For Individuals & Plan Participants: I work with individuals to build retirement plans tailored to their unique goals. Collaborating with other advisors in my office, I help create and implement strategies that align with each client’s financial, investment, tax, charitable, and estate planning objectives.

I’ve been in the financial services industry since 1987, holding FINRA Series 6, 7, and 63 registrations with LPL Financial. As an Accredited Investment Fiduciary® (AIF®), I serve employers as an ERISA 3(21) or 3(38) Fiduciary, ensuring their retirement plans are managed with integrity and expertise.

My Background & Personal Life

I graduated from the University of Iowa in 1986, served as an Officer in the Iowa National Guard, and even spent a year in Moscow, Russia, leading a trade organization for the State of Iowa. I’m also a graduate of the Greater Des Moines Leadership Institute and was honored as a ‘40 Under 40’ recipient.

Outside of work, my wife Ellen and I, married since 1995, love traveling, cooking, and exploring wines together. Our daughter works as a recruiter in West Des Moines, IA, and our son, Tripp, is a professional golfer on the PGA Tour Americas. When I’m not working, you’ll often find me spending time with friends and family, watching golf, or enjoying the outdoors with our Wirehaired Pointing Griffon.
