Hello there! I’m Andrew, Founder and Owner of Lever Wealth Management. I am a Chartered Financial Analyst Charterholder and Certified Financial Planner Professional who spent the last decade performing complex wealth and retirement planning for Ultra High Net Worth Families, and personally managed their investments. Prior to that, I was a bank examiner for the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, regulating Nationally Chartered Banks. Dream job, right? Well, over the years I have become let down with the incentive structures of the vast majority of financial services firms. It is hard to truly work deeply with your clients and focus on adding value to their life when incentives are focused on product sales and asset growth. I don’t know about you, but I tend to see most financial advisors trying to continually gather more and more assets (to the detriment of their current clients), advising only on what they personally manage rather than all assets (to the detriment of their current clients), and making big fancy promises to those new clients (to the detriment of their current clients). These create significant conflicts of interest and started to dishearten me. So, I decided to make a change and be a solution for those who are looking to live their life freely and make an impact on others. I have been married to my amazing wife Kerra for ten years, and we have two children Eli (4) and Amelia (1). We particularly enjoy traveling as a family to France and Hawaii, and are dedicated to our local church Encounter. Finally, I fell in love with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu many years ago, and am a purple belt that competes from time to time. Hope to talk soon.
