About

Meridian Wealth Advisors, LLC provides comprehensive wealth management and investment advisory services to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, corporations, charitable organizations, and retirement plans. The firm offers discretionary portfolio management, financial planning, pension consulting, and private placement consulting, managing roughly $1.74 billion across about 328 client relationships with a team of nine advisors.

MWA typically delivers discretionary, model‑driven portfolio management that emphasizes long‑term strategies, risk management, and evaluation of returns on a net‑of‑cost basis, using methods such as fundamental analysis and modern portfolio theory. The firm’s implementation toolbox includes options and other derivatives and, where appropriate, may involve borrowing via non‑purpose lines of credit or margin in separately managed accounts alongside more conventional ETF, equity, and fixed‑income allocations.

Compared with many peers, MWA combines relatively large assets under management and a generally high minimum relationship size (typically $2.5 million) with a comparatively small client base, enabling more concentrated, customized service. The firm’s active use of derivatives and the facilitation of borrowing secured by custodied assets in separately managed accounts — practices that are uncommon among similar team firms — and its provision of private placement and ERISA fiduciary consulting distinguish its service set.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
