Our Purpose

Talley Wealth exists to bring clarity and confidence to complex financial lives.

We believe financial advice should simplify your decisions, not add to the noise — and that your plan, investments, and taxes should all work together toward the same goals.

Because advice should make life simpler

Too often, people work with separate professionals who never coordinate with each other — one handles investments, another does taxes, and no one connects the dots.

We built Talley Wealth to change that. Our team brings every part of your financial life under one roof so decisions feel organized, informed, and in sync.

What makes us different

We’re not the right fit for everyone. And that’s intentional. Our clients value thoughtful advice, clear strategy, and long-term partnership over quick fixes or one-size-fits-all plans. We think that's a good thing.

Strategy Over Products

We start with your goals, not a portfolio. Every recommendation fits into a broader plan designed around you.

Tax + Wealth Expertise

With in-house tax strategy and financial planning, we connect the details others separate — so each move is efficient and intentional.

Relationship-First Fiduciary Advice

We value long-term partnership over transactions. Clients know who they’re working with and what we stand for.

Our mission: clarity that serves life

We help clients make clear, confident financial decisions that serve their lives - not just their accounts.

Our values:

  • Clarity - Keep advice simple and understandable
  • Integrity - Do the right thing, even when no one's watching.
  • Growth Mindset - Keep learning so our clients can keep progressing

Where we live, work, and give back

We're proud to call East Tennessee home. Every month our team volunteers and supports organizations focused on education, families, and local entrepreneurship across the Appalachian Highlands.
