Austin Saffer is a dedicated wealth management advisor at The Saffer Financial Group, a firm focused on building and protecting wealth through comprehensive financial strategies. With his Series 7 and Series 66 licenses, as well as his Florida 2-15 Health and Life Insurance License, and a strong foundation in finance, Austin helps clients not only protect their future, but grow it.
Austin’s passion for finance began early. Growing up in the business and learning from his father’s experience in wealth management, he developed an interest in investing and financial markets at a young age. While in high school, Austin competed in an international stock market competition where he placed third in the world, finishing just behind competitors from Canada and California. That experience further fueled his passion for the industry and solidified his desire to pursue a career in financial services.
He earned dual Bachelor’s degrees in Finance and Real Estate from Florida State University and subsequently completed his M.B.A., equipping him with both the technical skill and strategic insight necessary to navigate complex financial landscapes. Austin began his career as a private jet broker, facilitating multimillion-dollar transactions for ultra-high-net-worth individuals around the globe. This high-level experience sharpened his ability to meet the needs of sophisticated clients with precision, trust, and exceptional service.
Inspired by his father’s legacy, Austin joined The Saffer Financial Group to help individuals, families, and business owners take control of their financial lives. He specializes in investment strategies, retirement strategies, risk management, and wealth transfer, always with a long-term, relationship-driven approach.
In addition to his work at The Saffer Financial Group, Austin is the founder of Vital Capital, a financial planning firm specifically designed for medical professionals. Through Vital Capital, he works closely with medical students, residents, physician assistants, dentists, and attending physicians to create customized financial strategies that address student loan repayment, employment contract review, practice ownership, disability protection, and long-term wealth creation. His tailored approach helps healthcare professionals make confident financial decisions at every stage of their careers.
Whether helping a young professional get started or guiding a family through generational wealth building, Austin’s commitment remains the same: thoughtful guidance, clear strategies, and a genuine passion for helping others thrive.
Outside of his professional work, Austin serves on the Leadership Council for the Children's Dream Fund and serves as the financial advisor on the alumni board of Phi Delta Theta at Florida State University. In his free time, Austin enjoys spending time with his fiancée Taylor, working out, golfing, playing sports, and traveling.
