About Evan Hammond

You've poured years of your life into your business.

You've built something real, and at some point, you're going to want to walk away proud of what you accomplished.

The problem is nobody has ever sat down with you and connected the dots.

What is your business actually worth? What does it need to be worth for you to retire? What's the gap — and what does it take to close it?

Most business owners don't start planning their exit until they're ready to sell. By then, the most important decisions have already been made — and the most expensive mistakes are already locked in.

I'm Evan Hammond, Founder of Sage Street Wealth. I grew up in the family business — my dad ran a boat shop. When he passed away, I watched firsthand what responsible planning meant to our family. It's why I do this work, and why I do it specifically for people like him.

I work with blue-collar and owner-operated businesses — trades, trucking, fabrication, logistics, engineering — in the years before they're ready to exit.

Every engagement starts with one question: what does your business need to be worth for you to walk away and never have to work again?

We call that your Freedom Number.

Who I work with: Owner-operators doing $1M–$20M in revenue, within 10 years of a potential exit or transition.

➕ Get to Know Evan Hammond

Evan became a financial planner after losing a parent and experiencing the profound impact of a well-executed plan, fueling his mission to provide the same wise guidance and peace of mind to his clients. As an independent financial advisor and fiduciary, Evan often sees that money is handled in silos and plans are disconnected. He provides a clear roadmap designed to help solves this fragmentation, bringing control and structure to his clients while staying grounded in the real-world hustle of their everyday lives.

Originally from Charleston, South Carolina, Evan now lives in Reno, Nevada, with his wife Tally, their two children, and their golden retriever. He is committed to improving clients' lives while prioritizing the things he enjoys most - time with family, fly fishing, skiing, bird hunting, and his newest hobby, playing the piano.

Working with Evan has been a completely different experience from what I’ve had before. He’s easy to work with, highly responsive, and always available. When I have questions, I get answers quickly and clearly. More importantly, he asks the right questions. He’s not just managing money, he’s actively thinking about my long-term financial position and making sure every decision aligns with my goals. Before this, my money was with another advisor, and there was little to no real impact on my financial trajectory. No clarity. No confidence. I was constantly questioning whether I’d be in a strong position long-term, especially if my income changed. That’s no longer the case. He walks me through everything. Every step, every decision, every trade-off. I understand where my money is, why it’s there, and how it’s working for me. That level of transparency builds real confidence. The online portal is another big win. I can log in anytime and see a full view of all my accounts in one place. That visibility matters, it gives me control without needing to chase updates. Bottom line: this is what financial planning should look like. Clear, proactive, aligned with my interests, and built to actually move the needle on long-term wealth. If you’re not getting that from your current advisor, it’s worth making a change.

Evan is a great advisor and strategist. Happy to have him looking out for me when it comes to effective strategies and keeping the pedal down. Always have felt like he’s had my back more than a traditional advisor/client relationship.

For nearly a decade we have entrusted Evan with our financial plans. He has not only guided us in our retirement goals, but reminded us that financial plans are more than just numbers. Retirement goals include appreciating the present as well as looking to the future. My husband and I can’t recommend Evan enough.

Evan has been an exceptional advisor and has supported my spouse and I with professional and authentic financial guidance. I feel positive about the direction our wealth management is going and owe this to Evan and his passion for creating stability and growth for his client's financial needs. I recommend his services to anyone seeking investment advice without the pressure to monetize on superfluous services. Thank you Evan for all that you do!

Working with Evan Hammond has been an incredibly positive experience. After receiving an inheritance, I needed guidance on how to make thoughtful financial decisions—especially balancing a home purchase with my long-term financial stability and retirement goals. Evan took the time to understand my priorities and walked me through each step with patience and expertise. I now have a clear, comprehensive financial plan, am purchasing my new home, and feel confident about my investments with his continued support. I highly recommend Evan to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy financial planner who truly cares about helping clients build a secure financial future.

I would highly recommend working with Evan and his team at Sage Street Wealth.

We have been nothing but impressed since starting our journey with Evan almost 8 years ago. He built a fianncial plan for our family that we feel confident in, both short term and long term! This plan has helped us achieve goals that we did not realize were possible and more importantly it provides us with financial peace of mind. Evan is always available to lend a hand, offer advice, and ensure that we stay on track toward our goals as well. He has made complex decisions more manageable for us and we hope to continue working with him for many years to come! I highly recommend Sage Street Wealth.

I run a company, so personal financial planning is usually the last thing on my mind. I was with the same advisor for 12 years, but looking back, it was reactive management, not proactive planning. Sitting down with Evan made me realize how much I’d missed out on. He actually dug into the details, asked the right questions, and built a real plan with me. If you're a business owner looking for someone who will actually plan with you, I highly recommend Evan.

I’m planning to retire in the next few months and was feeling really nervous about whether I was making the right decision. I’d been with the same stockbroker for over 20 years, but I wasn’t getting any real planning help. Meeting with Evan was an immediate relief. He is patient, explains things clearly, and never once made me feel silly for not knowing all the answers. For the first time, I feel like I have a real plan for retirement. I feel so much more confident and I can finally breathe a sigh of relief knowing we’re on the right track.
