About

Premier Wealth Advisors LLC provides wealth management, financial planning, and separate income tax preparation services to individuals, high-net-worth clients, trusts, estates, business entities, and retirement plans, generally working with clients at or above its stated $500,000 minimum. The firm serves roughly 490 client relationships and reports about $695 million in assets under management.

The firm’s investment approach emphasizes a risk-based allocation to passively managed mutual funds and ETFs with periodic rebalancing, and it commonly recommends third‑party managers and turnkey providers to implement portfolios. In practice Premier Wealth operates predominantly on a non‑discretionary basis—clients typically approve transactions rather than granting ongoing trading authority to the firm.

Noteworthy differences from many peers include an affiliation with a real estate brokerage through which some supervised persons are licensed brokers, a relationship the firm discloses as a potential conflict of interest. The combination of substantial reported assets while managing nearly all accounts non‑discretionarily, together with in‑house tax‑preparation capability and supervised persons who are also registered representatives and insurance agents, distinguishes its operational model from many team firms.
