The Wealth Training Academy

We Shield, Protect & Grow Your Retirement, Business & Wealth

 You’ve worked too hard to leave retirement to chance. 

Most financial advisors handle one piece of your puzzle— your investments, your taxes, your insurance —and hand you off to someone else for the rest. That disconnected approach costs families like yours more than they realize. We do something different. Something that used to only be available to the ultra-wealthy.

 As your Personal CFO Wealth Coaches, we take your vision and craft a customized personal retirement and business game plan. Then, your personal fiduciary wealth team puts the strategy into action, making the necessary adjustments to ensure you win your retirement game.

With WTA’s Wealth Shield System, you have real-time access to every aspect of your financial world—taxes, investments, insurance, and estate planning—all at the click of a button. This system ensures you always know where you stand and when it’s time to make a move.

Most people don’t know this kind of help even exists for them.

There’s a model of wealth management called a “family office” — where one dedicated team handles every part of your financial life together. Your taxes, investments, insurance, Medicare, Social Security, estate plan — all coordinated, all connected. When one thing changes, everything adjusts.

Until now, that model required a minimum portfolio in the millions and was reserved for the wealthy elite.

We built WTA to change that.

If you have $500,000 or more in investable assets, you deserve the same level of coordinated, white-glove financial care that wealthy families have always had access to — without the million-dollar minimum. That’s what we do. Not as separate services you stitch together yourself. 

As one team, with one plan, for one family: yours.

Since 2005, the WTA Team has saved clients over $25 million in unnecessary taxes and fees through our proprietary Wealth Management System—WTA’s Wealth Shield System™.

As an SEC-registered investment advisory firm, we’re held to a fiduciary standard, which means we’re legally required to act in your best interest. Always.

Reverence for the Mission. Responsibility in the Markets.

The 82nd Airborne … I have chills. Where I grew up in Eastern North Carolina was just 2 hours away from where they were stationed in Fort Bragg in Fayetteville. I still feel overcome by a hushed reverence and a welling of pride in my chest when anyone brings them up, even though I never served in the military nor shared in their accomplishments. In Rocky Mount, the Army paratrooper division was close enough that it made many of us, including me, feel that hometown pride whenever the name was invoked….

Our Proven Process

The Wealth Shield System™

Identify the Gaps

Discover where you are and where you want to be.

Discuss the Gaps

Gap analysis to clarify and maximize growth.

Solve the Gaps

Implement WTA’s game plan and strategies.

Improve the Gaps

Continuously monitor and improve opportunities.

Here’s what most people tell us when they first come in:

“I feel like I’m doing okay, but I’m not sure if everything is working together.”

That uncertainty is exactly why we built our process the way we did. We start by looking at your full picture, not just your portfolio, but your tax exposure, your insurance gaps, your Social Security timing, your estate. Then we show you clearly what’s working, what’s costing you, and what needs attention. No jargon. No pressure. Just a real conversation about where you are and where you want to go.
