About

Pile Wealth Management provides discretionary investment management, financial planning, and the selection or oversight of third‑party advisers to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, charitable organizations, and other businesses. The firm manages approximately $188.7 million for a compact client base and implements advisory relationships under written agreements and asset‑based fee schedules.

The firm follows a risk‑based approach grounded in Modern Portfolio Theory, implementing diversified portfolios across no‑load mutual funds, ETFs, individual stocks, corporate and government fixed income, certificates of deposit, and REITs while generally exercising discretionary trading authority. Reviews are conducted at least semiannually, and the firm states that outstanding margin balances are included in assets under management — indicating it may permit borrowing in client accounts, a practice less common among peer team firms.

Pile Wealth Management is principally owned by Pile CPAs, an affiliated accounting firm, which creates the potential for cross‑referrals; the brochure discloses this conflict and informs clients they are under no obligation to use the accounting services. The firm also commonly recommends Focus Partners Advisor Solutions as a third‑party adviser and uses a custodian platform (Schwab) for client accounts, noting certain third‑party service fees are paid by the adviser rather than billed directly to clients.
