Hi, I'm Michele Lee Gawthrop. I serve as a Private Wealth Manager at ONE Advisory Partners, a Virtual Family Office (VFO) focused on helping successful, busy professionals preserve their most valuable asset: time.
My goals are to help professionals:
✔️ Preserve their time: Their most valuable asset.
✔️ Know their trajectory: Have a clear direction for financial independence.
✔️ Maximize benefits: Make their firm's retirement plans work optimally for them.
✔️ See the whole picture: Understand how their disparate financial pieces fit together.
I joined ONE Advisory Partners in 2013 as Client Administrator, subsequently becoming an Associate Advisor in 2020, during which time I became a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional. I've been a Private Wealth Manager since 2023. In 2024, I completed the Advisor For Women™ Certificate Program.
In 2008, I graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Economics from the University of Kansas.

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.
