About Nate Byers, CPA/PFS

I built Calculated Wealth around serving families transitioning through or living in retirement. Our focus on the retirement transition is deeply ingrained in our wealth planning process.

I spent the first ten years of my career in public accounting, where I developed a deep background in tax. I leveraged this experience to help families navigate life's transitions since 2015. I've spent thousands of hours studying and seeking mentorship from the industry’s top experts to partner with motivated families on their wealth plans confidently.

Outside of work, I love spending time outdoors with my wife, Krystal, and our two sons, Brody and Kaden.

About Calculated Wealth

We partner with motivated individuals and their families to facilitate financial stewardship.

We work well with families managing closely held assets, successful first and second-generation business owners, professional real estate owners, and families with multi-generational and charitable planning goals.

We’ve intentionally designed Calculated Wealth with a boutique approach. Most advisory firms are obsessed with scale, stretching the advisor’s attention between 100+ families per advisor.

Instead, we prioritize deep connection, which requires intentionally limiting our partnerships to nice and deliberate families focused on the future.

Nate was a great in helping me with my questions and ideas in the strategy’s I was investing in. Im more confident and clear in the direction I’m investing. If you’re looking for a advisor that’s open to more strategy’s than buy and hold and using tactical strategies give Nate a call.

A very positive review of Nate Byers and his firm Calculated Wealth, LLC

✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™
Apr 30, 2025
I have followed the arc of of Nate’s professional career over the past 10 years, from the period when he was preparing my family’s trust tax returns as an employee of a CPA firm, through his period managing high net worth portfolios for an investment bank in Madison, Wisconsin, and then establishing his own firm. Throughout that period he has exhibited a clarity, maturity, and poise that I would have expected only from someone with a much longer professional history. He first advised me on my own management of family and personal trust assets, as I transitioned from my own more erratic and emotional approach towards using the quantitative tactical asset analysis techniques he employs. Several years ago I completely transferred management of my assets and estate arrangements to him. Other members of my family have made similar decisions, so that he now has a balanced overview of the interests of everyone. It has been a pleasure to work with him, and I recommend his services without any reservations.
