About

Prairiewood Wealth Management is a fee-only, fiduciary advisory firm that serves primarily individual and family clients — typically households with net worths between $1 million and $50 million and higher-earning families — providing wealth management that combines financial planning, tax planning, and discretionary investment management. The brochure also discloses supplemental services for a subset of clients, including tax return preparation, payroll support, and optional access to estate-planning software.

The firm describes a long-term, value-oriented investment approach that emphasizes fundamental analysis, earnings yield and return on invested capital, and construction of portfolios using individual equities, ETFs and low-cost mutual funds; US small-cap equities (market caps under $1 billion) and a concentrated ~25-stock approach are used in some accounts, with quarterly rebalancing. Prairiewood also notes it manages held-away retirement and HSA assets through a third‑party platform, provides discretionary management for other registered advisers, and may recommend alternative investments such as private placements or hedge funds that can involve leverage.

Compared with many peers, Prairiewood discloses two relatively uncommon features: the firm may use derivatives within separately managed accounts, and it references third‑party ratings in its materials. Other distinguishing details in the brochure include the in‑house delivery of tax preparation and payroll services for select clients and an articulated practice of managing accounts for other advisers, all delivered by a seven‑advisor team overseeing roughly $365 million in discretionary assets.

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
