Newpark Wealth Management

Newpark Wealth specializes in financial planning and investments for Emergency Physicians. We do our best work for Emergency Physicians in their 40s who are tired of working night shifts and are looking to retire at 55. Our clients have neither the time, desire, or mental energy to properly manage their increasingly complex finances, as career, family, and recreation consume those scarce resources. Our clients are eager to outsource financial planning and investment management to a trusted advisor. We work with you to develop a comprehensive financial plan that integrates your income, expenses, assets, liabilities, insurance coverage, employee benefits, estate planning, tax strategy, and unique goals. We understand the nuances of your career arc – and the stresses of Emergency Medicine – deeply enough to accurately build, and continuously refine, projections of your household net worth. Ultimately, Newpark proactively prioritizes your financial action items to entirely relieve you of that mental burden and protect your time – while preparing you to retire at age 55.
