About Purposeful Wealth Advisors
At Purposeful Wealth Advisors, our mission is to empower people to live abundantly and intentionally by helping them make purposeful decisions with their money wherever their journey takes them.What Distinguishes Us?
1. We expect change. Life is change. That we can’t control. What we can control is how we manage it. This is our sweet spot — helping people financially plan for and manage life’s transitions, especially Divorce | Retirement | Widowhood.
2. Client first, always. Our role as a fiduciary for advisory relationships informs every decision we make. Simply put, our clients’ interests come first.
3. Selectivity. We like to think we have some of the finest financial professionals on our team.
4. Abundance + excellence, always. We empower people to live abundantly and intentionally, and we believe there are opportunities for growth for every client. We don’t quit until we find each client’s best solutions.
5. Personal and global. We’ve built a company that offers our clients the best of both worlds — a profoundly customer service-driven boutique-style front end with the resources of a powerhouse Raymond James back end. You don’t have to choose, you get both.
6. A choice of fee structures. We offer every client a customized financial planning experience as well as two fee structures to meet their distinct needs: For our Financial Planning clients we charge a flat fee based on the complexity of your financial plan | For our Financial Planning With Investment Management clients we charge a percentage of the assets that we manage.
7. Our network, your network. Financial decisions are only as sound as the context in which they exist. So when good decisions are also being made in other areas of your life — legal, accounting, business, etc. — the whole is stronger. We’ve developed a network of professionals that we gladly share with our clients.

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.
We Want Your Voice to be Heard
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.
Report abuse. Thank you for helping us ensure reviews on Wealthtender are helpful to everyone. If you suspect possible violations of our guidelines or believe a review is inappropriate, please email support@wealthtender.com with a link to the provider’s profile, indicating the review in question and the reason you believe it violates our guidelines.
