Meet Your Advisor
Blake Bagshaw, CFP® ChFC®
Hi, my name is Blake Bagshaw. I was born, raised, and currently reside in Hillsboro, OH with my wife, two kids, and our two dogs. Family and community have always been at the heart of what I do.
After playing baseball and graduating from Northern Kentucky University in 2013, I worked in my family’s generational business, helping grow it before successfully selling it in 2018. That journey taught me invaluable lessons about stewardship, planning, and the importance of trust.
As a CFP® professional, I combine technical expertise with a personal approach. My values—honesty, clarity, and genuine care—guide every client relationship. I’m here to simplify the complexities, instill confidence, and be a steady partner through life’s financial decisions.
When I’m not working, you’ll find me enjoying the small-town life I love, spending time with family & friends, staying active via sports and fitness, as well as being an active member in my community.
Why Arven Was Created
After years in the industry, I realized something important:
People deserve financial advice that’s based on understanding, trust, and genuine care — not sales quotas, agendas, or based on the amount of assets they have.
I founded Arven Wealth Management to:
- Serve my family, friends, and community
- Build trusted relationships
- Do financial planning the right way — holistic, thoughtful, and clear
- Provide long-term guidance without corporate interference
This firm exists because people deserve an advisor who listens, understands their goals, explains things simply, and truly looks out for them.
Why “Arven”?
The name Arven carries personal meaning. My grandmother was from Norway, and in Norwegian, Arven means “legacy” or “heritage.” It reflects the values I grew up around — family, responsibility, and caring for what’s been entrusted to you.
The name also carries the idea of a “noble friend” or “friend to all” — someone steady, trustworthy, and committed to serving others well. That’s the kind of relationship I strive to build with every client: not just an advisor, but a long-term partner who treats your family’s future with the same care as my own.
The shielded tree in our branding represents what thoughtful financial guidance should look like:
- Grounded in trust
- Grown with care and consistency
- Resilient through uncertainty
- Designed to support generations to come
Your financial life should feel steady and well-supported — guided by a clear plan and a trusted partner alongside you.
Proud to Serve Hillsboro and Beyond
Hillsboro has always been home for me. My relationships are here. My values were shaped here.
Arven Wealth Management exists to support the people and businesses that make this community special. With that being said, I’m proud to be able to serve clients from many different states!
We work with individuals and families from all walks of life.
No minimums. No prerequisites. Just genuine partnership and care.
What It’s Like to Work with Arven

- Real conversations, not sales scripts
