Profile
Brandon R. Parkhurst, CPA, CFP®, CVA is the founder and managing member of Parkhurst Wealth Management, PC (“PWM”) located in Plano, Texas and Edwards, Colorado. After years of consulting with individuals who had previously received poor financial advice, Brandon identified the need for advisors who could provide quality, fee-only, independent financial guidance. He founded PWM to fill this role for individuals seeking financial independence.
Brandon believes that providing services through a fee-only arrangement gives clients peace of mind knowing that the advice provided is not compromised by conflicts of interest. Since Parkhurst Wealth Management receives no commissions, fees or kick-backs and does not participate in soft-dollar arrangements, clients can rest assured our recommendations are provided solely to help them most efficiently and effectively meet their goals.
You may have had previous advisors that always delegate your phone calls and needs to his or her assistant(s). At PWM, you will always work directly with Brandon as he built his business model so that his sole focus is personal attention to the client so that there is no miscommunication and long-term attention and care that you deserve and pay for.
Prior to founding Parkhurst Wwealth Management, Brandon started his career in public accounting at Ernst & Young, LLP in Dallas, Texas, where he provided tax consulting services to private equity funds, real estate investment trusts, corporations and partnerships.
In 2004, Brandon joined Cain Watters & Associates where he provided retirement planning, income tax planning, estate planning, investment management and business valuation and cash flow planning services to dental and medical professionals as well as small business owners. He also provided wealth management services to many of the firm’s retired clients. These services included investment management, charitable planning, estate and gift planning and cash flow planning.
