About Evan Hammond
Hi, I'm Evan Hammond, founder of Sage Street Wealth. I grew up in the small town of Moncks Corner, SC, about an hour from Charleston.My dad ran his own small business, and growing up I watched him build something with his hands and his own two feet — the risk, the pride, the long hours. When he sold the business, he'd done the work to put the right estate planning in place. In 2012, when I was 18, he passed away. Because he'd planned ahead, our family was protected in ways so many families aren't when they lose someone unexpectedly. I didn't fully understand it at the time, but that experience is the reason I do this work today — and it's why my practice exists specifically for business owners like him.
I've been a financial advisor since 2017, and in October 2025 I launched Sage Street Wealth as an independent firm based in Reno, NV, focused on helping small business owners across the country.
I'm married to a rockstar of a wife and mom, Tally, and between the two of us we don't slow down much. We have three kids and a golden retriever. Our family enjoys traveling and lazy Saturday mornings.
Fun Facts About Me:
🧧 I learned to read, write, and speak Chinese and spent 8+ months in China.
Lesson - Do hard things out of your comfort zone.
🇺🇸 I'm a Captain in the US Army Reserve. I've served since 2017.
Lesson - Serve something bigger than yourself.
🛥️ Being on the boat is my happy place.
Lesson - Peace isn't found by chasing it. It's found by leaving the noise on the dock.
🎣 Grew up hunting & fishing with my dad, and I'll do the same with my children.
Lesson - Nothing is more valuable than time with family. Prioritize it.

About Sage Street Wealth
Sage Street Wealth is a financial planning firm built specifically for small business owners. As a fiduciary advisor, I'm obligated to put your interests first, not a product, not a quota, not a parent company's agenda.Most financial advice is written for employees: max your 401(k), diversify your portfolio, plan for retirement. But if you own the business, your biggest asset isn't in a brokerage account. It's the company itself, and the decisions around it don't show up in a typical financial plan. Sage Street Wealth exists to address exactly that.
I work alongside your CPA, attorney, banker, or anyone else on your team, so your financial plan and your business decisions are pulling in the same direction instead of working against each other.
✔️ Fiduciary
✔️ Business Owner Focused
✔️ Independent Thinking
Sage Street Wealth offers the following services:
✅ Proactive Tax Planning | Keep What You've Built: Business owners have access to tax strategies employees never see, including entity structure, retirement plan design, cash balance plans, and timing of income and deductions. We screen for these opportunities systematically, not just once a year at tax time.
✅ Retirement & Investment Planning | Build Wealth Outside the Business: Your business is concentrated risk by definition. We help you build a diversified plan outside of it, so your family's future isn't entirely tied to one company's success.
✅ Cash Flow & Business Financial Planning | Separate the Business From the Balance Sheet: We help you understand what's actually available to take home, reinvest, or save, accounting for the fact that your income isn't a steady paycheck.
✅ Insurance & Risk Planning | Protect What You've Built: From key person coverage to disability and life insurance, we make sure a single bad event can't undo years of work.
✅ Business Exit Readiness | Know What Your Business Is Worth to You: Most owners will exit their business once, and most don't plan for it until it's too late to change the outcome. We build a roadmap for value, timing, and tax exposure well before you're ready to sell, so when the time comes, you're making a decision instead of reacting to one.
✅ Other Planning | Because Ownership Touches Everything: Buy-sell agreements, key employee retention strategies, and the dozens of other decisions that come with running a business. We help you think through them with the same rigor as the big ones.

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.

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.
