About our Firm
Quiet Wealth provides comprehensive financial planning and investment management services to successful LGBTQ professionals. Quiet Wealth helps these individuals design and implement plans to help them achieve their life goals.
Quiet Wealth is based in Baltimore, Maryland / Washington, DC area and works with clients across the United States. Most of Quiet Wealth's clients live outside the Baltimore-Washington area, and Quiet Wealth has extensive experience working with clients virtually via video-conference and using other electronic tools.
Quiet Wealth provides two engagement options for new clients: (i) a one-time planning engagement for those with less complex planning needs; and (ii) continuous advisory and investment management services for clients with more complex planning challenges.
Typical Client Profile
Quiet Wealth typically works with professionals, business owners and retirees aged 40-70 who seek to implement financial plans to achieve their goals for their working years, retirement and legacy. In particular, we help these clients with financial challenges related to retirement planning, tax planning, family planning, and estate planning.
Most of Quiet Wealth’s clients have at least $200,000 in household income or $750,000 of investable assets across their brokerage and retirement accounts.
While Quiet Wealth focuses on serving the LGBTQ community, approximately half of the firm’s clients do not identify themselves as part of the LGBTQ community. Quiet Wealth welcomes all professional and retiree households looking for comprehensive financial and investment advice.

To make Wealthtender free for readers, we earn a nominal monthly fee from financial advisors and firms in exchange for marketing services (including being featured on this profile page), subject to terms of use. This compensation creates a natural conflict of interest when we favor their promotion over others. Wealthtender is not a client of these advisors or firms. Testimonials may not be representative of other clients’ experiences and do not guarantee future performance or success.
Wealthtender exists to help people discover trusted and authentic financial professionals and educators who may be a good fit based on their unique needs and circumstances.
Your honest reviews help people decide which financial professionals and educators may be best suited to their individual needs.
The majority of people trust reviews as much as personal recommendations, so what you write in your review should reflect your own opinion and experience.
Tips for Writing a Helpful Review
Be descriptive. Instead of just saying what you like or dislike, share why. What have you enjoyed most or least about your experience with the provider? Have they helped you overcome a difficult financial challenge or strengthened your knowledge about particular money matters? The more details, the better!
Be honest. Your rating and review should reflect your actual experience.
Stay relevant. Ensure your review is helpful to others by avoiding off-topic discussions or personal opinions not relevant to your direct experience.
Make your review easy to read. Reviews should be readable to others. Use proper grammar, avoid excessive capitalization or punctuation, and be sure to check your spelling.
Be yourself. Don’t post as, or pretend to be, someone else, and do not say you’re associated with a person or organization with which you are not.
Be nice. Don’t write abusive, hateful, threatening, or harassing content. Avoid personal threats, hate speech, obscenities, or inflammatory language.
Respect the privacy of others. Don’t post information that can be used to identify another individual or compromise their privacy.
