Trent White

I’m Paulo Lopes, an environmental attorney turned CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional and the founder of Woodmont Financial Partners. Most people I work with are DIY investors, high earners, and business owners who want a clear plan and an objective second set of eyes, without commissions or an asset-based fee. You should not have to hand over your investments to get good advice. My work is tax-aware and practical. We focus on the decisions that move the needle, including multi-year tax planning, withholding and estimated tax planning, Roth conversion strategy, retirement and Social Security planning, and estate planning coordination (beneficiaries, trusts, and POAs, plus the questions to take to your attorney). On the investment side, I help clients build a long-term allocation, improve tax efficiency, and set a rebalancing approach they can actually follow. I also help clients think through small business and real estate decisions where taxes and cash flow matter. We start with a short intro call. If we decide to work together, I will outline the scope, deliverables, and the next step in plain English. Meetings are virtual, with in-person options when it makes sense. I’m based in Arizona and work with clients nationwide.

Hi, I'm Anthony – a CFP® and father of three who specializes in helping successful professionals turn scattered financial decisions into a coordinated wealth-building strategy. You're doing well, but between stock options, tax planning, debt payoff, and investment choices, there are too many moving pieces to navigate without the right financial partner. I started Dynamic Financial Planning because I watched too many successful professionals struggle with this. Traditional AUM models ignore you during your most critical wealth-building years, leaving you to figure it out alone when the stakes are highest. The Dynamic Approach is different: ✔ Human-first planning that meets you where you are – progress over perfection, always. Your financial house gets built with architecture designed for your real life, not some textbook scenario. ✔ Purpose-driven strategy that starts with your "why." When we're clear on what you're building toward, every decision becomes easier. We invest early and often because your dreams can't wait for perfect timing. ✔ Complete wealth architecture whether you're breaking free from debt to build serious assets or protecting substantial wealth for your family's future. ✔ True partnership that delivers what you really want: optimized returns, protected wealth, and the confidence to actually enjoy your success instead of constantly worrying about it. The result? You sleep better knowing your financial foundation is solid, and your family's future is secure. I'm easy going and enjoy working with people virtually or in-person at times that are convenient for them. At the end of the day, my goal is to earn your trust and build you the financial house that you deserve.

Ascension Advisors was created to deliver a more personalized level of service and financial planning. I believe an investment strategy should align with one's values, priorities, and purpose. I created a firm where advisors have the flexibility, technology, and autonomy to craft tailored strategies that empower clients to pursue their goals with intention and confidence. Early in my career, I learned to value quality over quantity—sometimes, less is more. Deep, meaningful relationships built on empathy and trust are the foundation of delivering true client value. Managed growth enables me to cultivate these relationships with intention and provide exceptional client experiences, regardless of client net worth. The need for comprehensive, personalized fiduciary financial planning continues to grow—particularly among select client segments. Ascension Advisors was created to meet that demand. While the core principles of building, managing, protecting, and transferring wealth remain constant, the broader economic and capital markets landscape is dynamic and continuously evolving. Clients are well served when partnering with an advisor who genuinely understands and appreciates their journey—and is committed to helping them reach their destination.
