Client Service Associate

About Valley Wealth Group

Valley Wealth Group is an independent, community-rooted wealth management firm built on a founding belief: that clients deserve more from the relationship with their advisor. Founded in Roanoke, Virginia in 2015, we have grown fourfold in a decade, not by appealing to the masses, but by being intentional about who we serve and how we serve them.

We use the word "Group" deliberately. Teams compete; Groups collaborate. Our 16-person group motivates, encourages, and supports one another with one shared priority: the client comes first. We put the needs of the client ahead of the needs of the advisor. We put the needs of the advisor ahead of the profits of the company.

Our approach is holistic by design, integrating planning, investments, tax strategy, estate planning, and risk into one coordinated, client-centered strategy. We serve high-net-worth individuals, business owners, and families across the New River Valley, Smith Mountain Lake, and Rockbridge areas, and manage the investment programs for a local bank and credit union. Our goal is to become the premier, innovative, community-focused wealth management firm in our region.
