Carter Financial, LLC

A Fiduciary, Fee-Only
Wealth Management Firm


At CARTER FINANCIAL, LLC our goal is for our clients to experience:

  • Freedom from financial concerns so they can spend more time and energy focusing on what is really important in life
  • Clarity that comes from understanding their personal financial situations to help them navigate a complex financial landscape
  • Peace of mind that comes from having a trusted, experienced advisory team to walk with them through the big decision points and challenges in life
  • Confidence that comes from having a financial thinking partner to help diagnose situations, discuss options, and implement solutions

Financial Independence

What will last longer – you or your money? We prepare a personalized multi- decade plan to prepare you for the realities of a retirement landscape that has shifted dramatically.

Investment Philosophy

During inevitable market upheavals, do you feel the confidence that comes from having an investment portfolio that is designed to address all economic scenarios? Because there is no cookie-cutter investment portfolio that is right for everyone, we craft disciplined, targeted strategies aimed at providing potential for growth ahead of inflation over the long term, while working to provide the income you need to live over the short term.

Risk Management

Do you have any financial blind spots? We take a 360 degree look at your financial situation to identify anything that may financially harm you, your family or your businesses.

Wealth management built for you.

Understanding Today's Financial Environment

We then map your current financial situation to your short and long-term objectives. We quarterback your financial life by coordinating with CPAs, estate attorneys and other professionals to ensure you have an integrated financial plan.
