Aaron Parrish, CFP®, TPCP®, is a Greensboro, NC fee-only financial planner. He created Level Wealth Management (LWM) to present a new option to investors transitioning into and through retirement. Historically, investors have had to do it themselves, work with a commission broker or work with an advisor that charges a percentage of their investments. LWM helps clients build intelligent portfolios, map out retirement and reduce taxes for one flat retainer fee that isn’t based on account size. This fee structure reduces conflicts of interest and allows clients to potentially keep more of their investment returns. LWM meets physically with clients in Greensboro, Charlotte, and Raleigh as well as virtually for out of state clients. Aaron graduated from Appalachian State University and was recruited by BB&T’s Private Banking Division to join their Financial Planning Analyst team. There, he gained valuable experience and created financial plans for hundreds of clients. He later became a Vice President and Senior Financial Advisor at Triad Financial Advisors before starting Level Wealth Management. He has also taught retirement planning courses at colleges and universities across Central North Carolina. When not working, Aaron prefers to invest his time and money in experiences—traveling with his wife, Martha, and their two children, Bradford and Dottie. He’s also a big believer in outsourcing tasks he doesn’t enjoy, so he can spend more time mountain biking and snowboarding.
