About

Elevation Wealth Partners serves individuals, families, high‑net‑worth investors, pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, and small businesses, offering fee‑only investment advisory, discretionary portfolio management, and comprehensive financial planning. The firm manages roughly $671 million in client assets and typically implements plans through no‑load or load‑waived mutual funds, exchange‑traded funds (ETFs), and similar securities.

The firm’s investment approach emphasizes diversified, asset‑allocation driven portfolios rooted in academic research and what it terms “timeless economic principles,” with investment policy statements tailored to each client’s objectives and risk tolerance. Accounts are monitored frequently and reviewed at least quarterly, and Elevation also provides professional management for held‑away retirement plans through a third‑party order management system (Pontera).

A distinguishing feature for a team of this size is that Elevation provides in‑house tax preparation, accounting, and bookkeeping services via its team of tax specialists and CPAs, with those services governed by separate engagement agreements and fees. The firm also makes an estate‑planning document platform available to clients at no cost (firm‑paid basic Wealth.com subscription) and uses an independent account administrator (Focus Partners) — including recommending the SA Funds where appropriate — which affects how certain administrative and fund options are delivered.
