Thanks for your interest in my firm! I’m Mark Wilson, APA, CFP®, a proud father of two and lucky husband of one. I founded MILE Wealth Management to provide real wealth management to families and “Make It Look Easy” (MILE). Providing integrated financial planning and investment management is hard. This is the reason why most financial advisors do bare minimum planning or no planning at all. Those that do financial plans intentionally make it look complex to justify their fees. The industry is full of jargon, acronyms, fine print and disclosures. It’s no wonder that their “customers” are not meeting their goals or sleeping well at night. My goal is to use my experience, teaching background, wise use of technology and smarts to make it look easy. I’ve found that families that understand their financial situation, set their personal targets and see their next steps will be able to achieve their short and long-term goals and make adjustments as necessary. I want you to be relaxed about your finances, focus on what’s really important and make it look easy. Have a look at our website (www.milewealth.com) or call 949-441-4410 to find out more.

Old-school wealth management firms largely fall short of addressing the needs of small business owners. They typically require a minimum amount of investible assets, offer generic planning advice, and schedule infrequent reviews. I launched Two Palms Financial to provide an experience to business owners based on greater customization, deeper planning work, year-round reviews and a flexible fee structure. Time and attention are finite resources. Business owners know this all too well. I help business owners focus their time and energy on what they are passionate about and excel at. With year-round cash flow & tax planning, saving & investing, retirement planning, debt management, insurance reviews, trust & estate planning, I help business owners develop a plan to grow their business with intention, create long-term wealth, minimize taxes over their lifetime, and protect their assets from unforeseen threats. I also believe Life Planning is an integral part of the planning process. Through my training with the Kinder Institute of Life Planning, I use the EVOKE (Exploration, Vision, Obstacles, Knowledge & Execution) experience to help my clients build a financial plan around their unique vision of a fulfilled life.

For over 10 years, Jason has been helping clients achieve their financial goals through transparent advice and client education. Prior to establishing Bluepoint Wealth Advisors, Jason spent nearly 6 years with The Vanguard Group in Scottsdale, AZ. Originally inspired by his grandmother’s adolescent hardships, he’s always been encouraged to help others find financial clarity. “My grandmother, who was a huge influence on my life, was a teenage girl during the Great Depression. Because she witnessed such financial hardship, she learned at a young age the importance of financial stability, and remained relatively frugal through most of her life. She instilled these values on my father, a financial advisor himself, who began educating me at a young age through our many road trips. In fact, the earliest lesson I recall was about mutual funds, and how I could buy a fund that contains Toys-R-Us, rather than buying the toy itself. What was initially a desire to learn more about my father’s job, quickly became valuable knowledge I knew could be used to help others. In 2013, I moved away from my friends and family, not knowing anyone in Arizona, to pursue a career with Vanguard. Given the indisputable morals behind Vanguard’s reputation, I could not think of a better company to begin my career, and to further enforce how success is achieved by putting client’s priorities ahead of one’s own.” Jason now looks forward to bringing that industry leading experience, and scaling it down to provide a more personalized relationship with each of his clients.
