About

Team Wealth & Tax Advisors provides discretionary asset management and ongoing financial planning to individuals, high-net-worth individuals, trusts, and business entities, typically billing on a percentage-of-assets-under-management basis and offering portfolio management, retirement planning, and comprehensive financial plans. The firm generally requires an account minimum (stated at $300,000, with exceptions possible) and includes financial planning services for clients who place assets with the firm.

TWTA’s investment process is discretionary and tailored to client objectives, focusing on customized asset allocation based on risk tolerance and time horizon and using analysis methods that include fundamental, technical, charting, and cyclical approaches. The firm conducts periodic reviews (at least annually, with more frequent monitoring as market conditions warrant), emphasizes rebalancing and tax-loss harvesting opportunities, and uses a structured framework called the “The SmartChoice Wealth Strategy” to stress-test retirement and income plans.

What distinguishes TWTA from many peer teams is its close integration with tax and accounting capabilities: the firm has affiliated tax entities and an on‑staff CPA, and it offers complimentary personal tax planning and tax preparation for clients meeting an AUM threshold, while disclosing that referrals to affiliated tax providers create a conflict of interest. TWTA also coordinates basic estate-planning documents through a partner and discloses ongoing, de minimis trailing insurance commissions from prior sales, details prospective clients may consider when evaluating the firm’s recommendations.
