THE EP WEALTH ADVISORS STORY
At EP Wealth Advisors, it's all about people—the clients we support and the valued team members who help us deliver a superior experience while growing their own careers.
The client-first mentality is not only the driving force of the culture at EP, but the very reason the firm exists. Our co-founders, Brian Parker and Derek Holman, have been friends since grade school—the early indication that, to these two financial pros, relationships matter.
As they grew in their careers at separate, but similar, "big brand firms" they saw that commissions ruled the day and clients just didn't know what they were paying for. They set out to create their own model with the founding of Premier Financial Management in 2004, and upon finding like-minded, veteran advisor Stephanie Enright, they merged to create EP Wealth Advisors.
In the years since, EP has continued to put people first and grown to become a Coast-to-Coast firm centered on a common culture and commitment to enriching the lives of clients and our team members. With continued growth on the horizon, EP has established a true national presence and added significantly to the team—and we're not done. If you are looking to grow in your career and make a difference in the lives of clients and colleagues, EP could be the place. Our shared values are foundation, and your unique background will be welcome.
