Think about the perfect future. You are probably with the people you love, doing exactly what you want to be doing. Time is no longer a factor, and the only schedule you adhere to is your own. There is probably one other key factor you don’t even consider in this fantasy, and that’s money. That is our goal for our clients. By providing comprehensive financial services and holding ourselves to the highest standard, we believe we can make that fantasy a reality for anyone who walks through our doors, and we are here to give you the tools you need to bring your vision to life.
A Clearer Future for Clients
Built On Strong Family Values
We have aligned our company’s values with our clients’, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
When our clients are driven, hard-working, dedicated, committed, loving, fearless and family motivated, we believe they deserve the same level of service, especially in an area as important as their finances. We truly believe upholding those values is the best way to bring your dreams to life, no matter what they are. That means acting in your best interests by providing planning services that account for your entire life, all while structuring our methods around your missions and philosophies. These are our values.
01. Acting in Your Best Interests
At Bay Financial Services, it’s not just an obligation; it’s a desire. We want to align our success with yours because we believe the only true way to find success is together, and that holds true both inside and outside our office. We are also an independent firm, meaning we are agnostic and impartial. Our only commitment is to our clients, and whether you’re looking for help as an individual or as a business owner, we work tirelessly with a goal of finding the latest, most effective, longest-lasting solution possible. Our job is not complete until you achieve your goals, and even then, we’re still at your side to adjust, adapt and overcome any future obstacles.
02. Comprehensive Planning
No person on this entire planet is simply one thing. We are a complex combination of our experiences, our passions and our motivations. So why, then, would it make sense for a financial services firm to offer just one, or even a few services? We use planning strategies that are just as complex as your problems, accounting for each aspect of your life and each of your unique needs. At the same time, our goal is to simplify this process with one comprehensive plan to address each area of your life, all while giving you the tools and empowerment you need to make your dreams a reality. We are driven by the idea of a complete partnership, and we want to stand at your side for the short term and the long.
03. Mission-Driven Service
Financial services firms aren’t built on the strength of their service providers; they’re built on the empowerment of the clients. Without each person we work with, we wouldn’t be where we are today, and we wouldn’t be able to continue reaching out to help more families and business owners pursue their dreams. That’s why we lead with education and a mission to build life-long relationships. Traditionally, this starts with getting to know each of our clients on a personal level. That gives us a better chance to address their needs in the present while foreseeing potential obstacles that may arise in the future. Then, we can work to overcome those obstacles with a spectrum of services and an intimate level of care.

Our Founder
Randel M. Blake, ChFC®, MSFS
Randel M. Blake founded Bay Financial Services with a simple but meaningful goal: to help people build a secure financial future and pursue the life they envisioned without finances standing in the way. For nearly four decades, Randel served individuals, families and business owners with compassion, integrity and a genuine commitment to helping others. Although Randel is no longer with us, the values he established continue to serve as the foundation of Bay Financial Services. His commitment to personal relationships, education, empowerment and service remains an important part of who we are today.
Continuing the Legacy, Expanding the Firm
Bay Financial Services has continued to evolve while remaining grounded in the principles established by Randel. In 2020, Jordan L. Funke began his partnership with Randel and became an integral part of the firm’s continued growth and development. Jordan later expanded his leadership role and continued building Bay Financial Services with the same emphasis on personalized planning and long-term client relationships.
The firm’s history also includes a longstanding financial practice in Waldorf, Maryland, originally established by Robert V. Price Jr. as Price Financial Group in 1969. Following Rob’s retirement, the practice was led by David R. Bird Jr., who continued serving its clients and building upon the relationships Rob had established.
In August 2025, Jordan began working closely with David as the two practices moved toward a shared future. As of August 2026, David has offically retired, and Price Financial Group formally merged with Bay Financial Services. Today, this merger brings together the history and relationships of both firms under one organization. While the name and structure have evolved over the years, our commitment remains the same: to provide thoughtful financial guidance, build lasting relationships and help our clients pursue the future they envision.
We are grateful to Randel Blake, Robert V. Price Jr. and David R. Bird Jr. for the foundations they built and the many clients they have served. Their contributions are an important part of the story of Bay Financial Services and the legacy we continue to build.
