After experiences with several different advisors for his own finances, Sam Evans noticed the need for a different type of approachone that allows advisors to serve clients rather than corporate interests. In response to this, Sam established Evans Wealth Management, a fee-only financial advisory firm that does something simple yet astonishingly rare: treats people the way he wanted to be treated. This involves listening, staying attuned to the needs and objectives of clients, and being proactive to ensure meeting them in time. By definition, this helps clients steer clear of the regret of succumbing to sales tactics used daily by other advisors to peddle unnecessary products. Instead, Sam spends the time to understand his clients, which enables personalized guidance to navigate the maze of financial options, without sacrificing freedom of choice or ambition. Sam knew he wouldnt be able to place a clients interests above the corporations at a large firm. At Evans Wealth Management, hes found a way to deliver high-quality financial guidance with a personalized touch, while staying loyal to those he serves. Looking for an experienced, trustworthy financial advisor that works in your familys best interest, without exception? Get in touch with Evans Wealth Management today.

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.

Mike's mission is to support and advise his clients on reaching their financial goals. Mike generally works with clients that are business owners, receive equity compensation (RSU's, stock options, equity awards, ESPP's, etc.), or are transitioning into retirement. Being a company shareholder himself, Mike understands the risks, rewards and complexities that come with equity ownership. Mike sees the client and advisor relationship similar to a partnership, where communication, transparency and preparation are crucial to success. He believes that no two clients have the same financial goals, so no two clients should have the same plan. Because of this, Mike works with a lower number of clients and selectively focuses on those that can benefit from his skill set. Mike also serves as the chairman of the Veracity Capital Investment Committee where he helps guide the firms investment philosophy. Prior to being a Partner with Veracity Capital, Mike spent 8-years working at Goldman Sachs, in the AYCO Division where he held the title Vice President. Mike earned a Bachelor of Science in Finance from Coastal Carolina University and an MBA from the College of Saint Rose. Outside of the office, Mike, his wife Katrina and son William, can be found outdoors, hiking, traveling or on the local basketball courts.
