Brownlee Wealth Management is a fee-only financial planning firm in Bentonville, AR.
Our background and expertise is helping CPG professionals and soon-to-be retirees with their financial plan. Most of our clients have complex compensation structures, stock options, restricted stock, deferred compensation, and defined contribution (401k) employer-sponsored retirement plans. We help these families organize their estate plan and navigate the tax code to dramatically lower taxes over the coming decades. We then plan for college funding and income in retirement. Finally, we establish an evidence-based portfolio tailored to the best interests of the client.
Brownlee Wealth Management serves clients as a fiduciary and never earns a commission of any kind.
Hi, I’m Jared Machen. Financial Planning is all I know. I’ve spent my entire professional career in the industry and have loved every minute of it. I get excited about helping people leverage money for more purposeful living.
Outside of work, you can find me outside (usually on a bike) or traveling to visit friends in one of the five states I’ve lived in. My wife Erin and I share the same birthday and passion for adventure. We recently spent some time living in Honduras on my family’s mahogany farm. We love trying new things, meeting new people, and anything else that gets us out of our comfort zone.
