Our advisor is Casey Smith. Casey thoroughly understands our retirement funds as well as our SEP IRA's. He has invested our money wisely and with very little risk involved while still producing income.

For some reason, Google brings up a review I did some time ago for Wiser Wealth, so Google gets one star.Wiser, however, keeps their five star rating. Casey and the team have continued excellent customer service. All questions and fears about the market are answered. Plus, he is a genuinely great guy to work with, as is the whole team. Really happy they are looking after our money!We found Casey on Facebook. Knew nothing about him. And while we aren't millionaires, he treats us as if we were. And his investment strategy has worked really well for us. We have worked with Casey and his team for quite a few years now. Could not be happier we found him.

I sought out a wealth management firm because I don’t know everything I need to know in order to produce a solid estate plan for my future. I found Wiser through a recommendation by a co-worker at my airline.From my first meeting with Casey (remote. I live in Utah) I knew I was going to enjoy working with Wiser. Casey immediately came across as relatable, focused and genuinely interested in me as a person and as a client. In the information collection phase I communicated regularly with Casey’s staff. They are top notch employees - extremely thorough and responsive. Subsequent meetings were very pleasant and by the end of the whole process my wife and I feel back in control of our future. We feel like all the loose ends are tied up and that we have a solid plan.I have really loved my experience so far with Wiser. I really like paying the upfront one time fee and then an hourly fee for future consultations. My wife and I are very happy and I certainly recommend Wiser.

Missie Beach was an invaluable member of my team throughout my divorce process. My attorneys relied on her analysis and advice to secure the best possible settlement, and I feel confident and optimistic knowing that her wise counsel, tax knowledge, and investing guidance put me on a good path for the future. Anyone going through a divorce needs a CDFA, and Missie is top-notch. Very highly recommend.

I first met Casey Smith in 2005 when with his help I created my Estate Plan. He appeared to be a bright and personable young man and his advice fit my hopes for my financial future. I decided to have him manage my portfolio.I have not been disappointed. I live in Rhode Island but in today's electronic age the distance is not a problem Casey reviews my holdings and makes the changes to keep my portfolio in the agreed balance. I find his fee schedule appropriate. He has my complete trust. He is responsive to every request and has a professional office staff to meet every need.I recommend Wiser Wealth Management anyone needing sound financial advice.

I approached Casey and his team to help me get a better handle on our long term finances and planning to help ensure we were on track to meet our long term goals. They were amazing. They walked us through the entire process and explained everything we needed to look at and why it was important. I was impressed at the manner by which they identified gaps in specific future years where we may be vulnerable and what coverages we needed to plug those holes. Everything I was worried about was addressed and a plan developed for each concern. The process and changes they guided me through left me feeling confident about my families future and what we may expect.

We have been with Wiser Wealth Management for approximately 8 years as a client, but had been following Casey's advice from his webpage for much longer than that. In the 8 years that we have been clients, we have become debt-free and have built our retirement nest egg with Casey's advice and management to a point where we are extremely comfortable and confident that we will retire with more than needed to handle our retirement needs. The one-on-one relationship with a fee-only professional like Casey and his team is extremely valuable. I consistently encourage my colleagues to reach out to him, and give testimony to what Wiser Wealth Management has done for us and our ability to manage our income and feel confident about retiring with no worries about our post-retirement income.

We've been using Wiser for about 8 years and as a relatively youngish couple (at the time) it was the best financial decision we've made. Casey has never steered us wrong and has proven over the years that his advice and expertise are invaluable. I seriously can't recommend him and his team enough, they have changed our lives.

I had the chance to speak with Casey for the first time today and he definitely exceeded my expectations! He was very knowledgeable and attentive and I felt a lot of confidence speaking with him about my early planning. One of the primary reasons I looked into Wiser is because of their fee-only model (vs fee-based/commissions), but after talking with Casey I’m also sold on their integrity and professionalism as well. Thank you Casey!

5 Reasons Why It’s Better to Work with a Local Financial Advisor

Common-Questions
  • Personalized Service: Being able to meet face-to-face can foster a more personal and collaborative relationship. In-person communication can make it easier to discuss sensitive financial matters and build trust.

  • Accessibility: Working with an advisor in your area means easier access for meetings, discussions, and responses to questions or concerns.

  • Building Trust: Trust is a crucial aspect of a financial advisor-client relationship. Being able to meet in person and have regular interactions with your advisor can help establish and maintain that trust.

  • Community Connections: Local advisors often have a network of local professionals and contacts, which can be beneficial for referring clients to accountants, attorneys, insurance professionals or real estate agents.

  • Personalized Advice: A local advisor can take the time to understand your unique financial goals, family situation, and lifestyle because they are more likely to be familiar with the local cost of living, job market, and other factors that affect your financial planning.

Austell, GA History

Austell is a city in Cobb and Douglas Counties, Georgia, and is part of the Atlanta metropolitan area. The city, officially incorporated in 1885, was named after General Alfred Austell as a way to celebrate his efforts in bringing the railways to the south.

Austell has a population of approximately 7,276 residents and spans over a 5.96 square mile radius. In its early days, the economy of Austell was primarily linked to the rail depot, which transferred people and goods. This allowed residents to quickly commute to nearby areas to seek better employment opportunities.

One of the most-visited attractions in Austell is the Six Flags Over Georgia Amusement Park. It is a 290-acre park that opened in 1967, the second in the 3 Six Flags Chain after Texas. The theme of this amusement park comes from the Warner Bros.Entertainment library. It includes many famous characters created by the company, such as the DC Comics characters.

The city also has an impressive number of museums, such as the Cobb County Youth Museum and the Marietta Museum of History. Like most cities in the area, Austell invests many efforts into the historic preservation of the area.

Though Austell has a small-town appeal, it encourages economic growth through low property taxes, low occupational tax structure, and Freeport exemptions. Quality of life in the area was improved by the infrastructure optimizations and extra recreation facilities designed by the Parks and Recreations department.
