Our Mission Statement
Put the experience of a “Best-in-State” Wealth Management Team to work for you, your business and most importantly—your family.
Our Story and Services
The Brown Wealth Management Group is a highly-experienced team that can help you build wealth, preserve assets, grow a business and help manage taxes. Our primary focus is working with successful families and businesses to define their goals and then create a financial plan and a clear process that can help take them where they want to go.
Family is core to our business. In fact, we were started by a father and a son back in 2001. When you turn to us, we look out for your entire family. Our goal is to enable you to live better today and build a legacy that can span generations. We also provide Next Gen education, so that your loved ones can be better-prepared for their futures, too.
While we’re proud of being named a 2024 Forbes “Best-in-State” Wealth Management Teams, the way we measure success is by how well our clients are doing. And we must be doing something right, because they have recommended us to their friends. That’s one of the reasons why we choose to work with only a select few clients at a time. That way we’re able to do more for each of them.
We invite you to meet with us so we can show you how we can help you get on the path to success.

Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC ("Morgan Stanley"), its affiliates and Morgan Stanley Financial Advisors or Private Wealth Advisors do not provide tax or legal advice. Clients should consult their tax advisor for matters involving taxation and tax planning and their attorney for matters involving trust and estate planning and other legal matters.
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC offers insurance products in conjunction with its licensed insurance agency affiliates.
Since life insurance is medically underwritten, you should not cancel your current policy until your new policy is in force. A change to your current policy may incur charges, fees and costs. A new policy will require a medical exam. Surrender charges may be imposed and the period of time for which the surrender charges apply may increase with a new policy. You should consult with your own tax advisors regarding your potential tax liability on surrenders.
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC is a registered Broker/Dealer, Member SIPC, and not a bank. Where appropriate, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC has entered into arrangements with banks and other third parties to assist in offering certain banking related products and services.

Starting Your business
Turning a vision into a successful business takes planning, funding , and strategy. Explore resource below for insights on how to navigate the early stages of launching and building your business. Access the slides below for insights on what it means to be an entrepreneur.
Funding Your Business
Securing the right funding is a critical step in bringing your business to life. Whether your business is brand new or has been established for decades, you may be at a point where you need financing in order to grow or maintain operations. Whatever your business goals might be, it could be within your grasp—if you can get the right financing.
Exiting Your Business
As a business owner, you've devoted your career to building your company. Now is the time to plan for what comes next: spending more time with your family and pursuing new challenges. It is a transition that is among the most complex in the business world... and life.
Financial Planning for Life After Selling a Business
For many founders, life after the sale of a business includes enjoying the wealth you've earned.
As you enjoy the rewards of your hard work, consider tailoring your insurance coverage to include new assets, like a vacation home or car. Selling your business can mean big changes for your life, both personally and financially. Know how to make the most of your windfall.
Family Matters
The reason why your family's well-being is so important to us is because we're a family, too. The Brown Wealth Management Group was started by a father, Jim, and son Jamey in 2001. In fact, Jamey's mother drew up the contract that launched us. Little did we know back then that we created something new—one of the first wealth management teams in our community.
Innovation is part of our DNA. We're always looking for new ideas to help make your lives easier and potentially more successful. We believe we are pioneers in the many areas in the financial industry, including fee-based money management and retirement funding analysis.
Relationships Matter, Too.
When you work with us, you'll have a dedicated relationship manager focused on the financial well-being of you and your family. Every one of our Financial Advisors is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® Practitioner (CFP®) and every team member of our Family Office is committed to your success.
We schedule regular meetings and keep you informed pro-actively, instead of reactively. That way you'll always know where you stand and can feel more confident about whatever comes your way.
Community Service
In our vision, putting family first also includes uplifting our local community. This past week, our team had the opportunity to get out of the office and make an impact by volunteering with the McCracken County Senior Center and The United Way of Western Kentucky. United Way is an organization dedicated to helping people in our region through their three main channels: education, income, and health. We're proud to have contributed our time and energy alongside this network of community organizations, and we're grateful for the chance to make a tangible impact together.
