What We Do
Why Dogwood

Dogwood Wealth Management is dedicated to providing financial advisory services with a focus on values, intention, and holistic well-being. Our name pays homage to the state tree of Missouri, the dogwood, symbolizing strength, rebirth, and durability – qualities that resonate deeply with our mission and values. Our approach is thorough and confident, and we always remember that our work is bigger than us, dedicated to making a positive impact on lives and communities.

Our Mission

Our Process
Guiding You Every Step Of The Way

At Dogwood Wealth Management, we believe that a personalized and intentional approach is key to effective financial planning. Our unique approach is designed to understand your unique needs, values, and goals, ensuring that we create a financial plan tailored specifically for you. Our process begins with three simple first steps.


Initial Conversation

We begin with a casual conversation to understand your reasons for reaching out, allowing us to get to know you, your concerns, and your aspirations, thereby setting the stage for a meaningful partnership.

Data Collection & Analysis

Next, we gather detailed information about your financial situation through extensive questioning to ensure a comprehensive understanding of your assets, liabilities, income, expenses, and future goals, which is crucial for building a robust financial plan aligned with your values.

Setting Expectations

After gaining a clear picture of your financial landscape, we present our expectations and gather yours for the upcoming year to ensure both parties are aligned and working towards common objectives.

What Sets Us Apart
Helping You To Rest Easy

We pride ourselves on our unique approach to financial advisory services that truly sets us apart. We believe in explaining your financial situation in a language you can understand, making complex concepts accessible and relatable. Our goal is to identify blind spots and provide clear, actionable insights. We talk to our clients, not at them, fostering a collaborative and respectful relationship.

Our greatest value lies in the peace of mind we provide, allowing you to focus on what matters most – whether that's family, passions, or personal goals. By handling the complexities of financial planning, we enable you to live with intention and confidence, knowing that your financial future is in capable hands.

About Us
Upholding Our Core Values

Our firm is built on unwavering principles: we practice extreme ownership, guided by a strong moral compass that prioritizes integrity and ethical behavior. We are committed to the pursuit of excellence and continually strive to exceed expectations. Transparency and straightforwardness are cornerstones of our approach. We want you to know exactly what to expect when you work with us and how we tackle financial planning. Advising you in one of the most consequential areas of your life is a responsibility we take very seriously, offering the same financial advice we would give to a close family member or loved one, and the same we would follow ourselves.

We understand that wealth does not equate to genuine fulfillment. Implementing "smart" financial practices alone won't suffice; they must be uniquely and creatively tailored to you. The first step in getting financially organized is understanding your story and where you want it to go next. Full-picture guidance is essential. For instance, investing well can only take you so far if it results in a higher tax burden. To prevent such pitfalls, we consider all aspects of your financial life when making decisions, including taxes, protection, and estate planning. This holistic approach ensures that every piece of your financial puzzle fits perfectly into place.
