Ashley Bearden

Client Service Manager

FPQP®

Ashley Byington strives to provide a personalized, meaningful relationship to each of her clients as she addresses the financial needs in their life. She earned her designation as a Financial Paraplanner Qualified Professional™ (FPQP) in 2022.

Ashley joined Moneta as a Client Service Manager for the Finerty Team in 2019 after moving back to her hometown of St. Louis from a short stint living in Aberdeen, Maryland. She feels so grateful to have landed at such a reputable firm surrounded by a team of inspiring and knowledgeable professionals.

Prior to Moneta, Ashley served as a 911 Fire and EMS Dispatcher for St. Charles County after she earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Criminology from Missouri State University.

Away from work, Ashley is currently planning her wedding! She enjoys being part of her dad’s racing team as he races Mountain Motor Pro Stock for the NHRA and PDRA. She also loves spending time with her friends, spoiling her two dogs and two kittens, cheering on the St. Louis Blues, and trying new local restaurants.
