Kevin Garrett, AWMA, CFS
CFS, AWMA
After 20 years in numerous leadership positions in both public and private companies, I decided to use my experience and desire to positively impact people's lives in a more personal way. It started with the birth of my first child, which drove home the importance of planning for the future. That key life event, along with watching one of my family members struggling due to poor financial decisions, made me realize how important financial planning is and how it can affect people's lives both positively and negatively. I saw a real need to provide unbiased client-first advice in a world full of self-serving sales people offering products and services that were not always in the client's best interest.
I specialize in assisting executives and business owners, with an emphasis on the unique needs and challenges that women and professional athletes face in today's world. Prior to joining Integrated Financial Group, I was a Partner, COO and Head of the Financial Planning Department at another Atlanta-based firm. I also worked at Morgan Stanley Wealth Management Services as a Financial Advisor.
On the personal front, I've been blessed to have the ability to visit the world. Seeing how other societies live provides me important perspective around the concept of not just living to work but rather to use work and the income it creates to live the life that we want. I am not working with my clients, I spend time as a partner, mentor and father.
