William B. Corder,
AIF®, CPFA®
Chief Operating OfficerThe Manning Companies Financial Advisor, RJFS
Bill Corder is a Financial Advisor at The Manning Companies, where he also serves as Chief Operating Officer. He brings over 25 years of experience and a dual focus that is rare in the industry: helping clients build meaningful financial plans while ensuring the firm behind those plans operates with the integrity and efficiency that clients deserve.
On the advisory side, Bill specializes in financial planning for individuals and business owners, with experience spanning asset and risk management, legacy and charitable planning, and tax efficiency strategies. Every client brings a unique set of variables, and he finds real satisfaction in turning complexity into clarity and building plans that are not only technically sound, but personally meaningful. He especially enjoys learning about clients' diverse backgrounds and life experiences, from manufacturing professionals and musicians to entrepreneurs and CEOs, as that understanding shapes plans that go beyond the numbers. As COO, he also translates that same client-first mindset into how the firm operates, overseeing operations, technology, compliance, and strategic initiatives to ensure the team performs at their best.
His motivation to help people navigate their finances runs deep. Watching his mother struggle to manage and organize the family's finances when his father became terminally ill left a lasting impression and a clear sense of purpose. That experience is at the heart of why he does this work and why helping clients feel prepared and supported matters so much to him.
He holds a degree in Business Management from the University of Phoenix and carries the Accredited Investment Fiduciary® (AIF®) and Certified Plan Fiduciary Advisor (CPFA®) designations, reflecting his commitment to objective, fiduciary-centered guidance.
Outside of work, Bill coaches soccer with Coronado FC, walks his two girl pugs Lulu and Leia, and enjoys cycling, golf, and kayaking from his home base in Coronado, where he lives with his wife and two children.
