Fee-Only financial planner located in Salt Lake City, UT, serving clients locally and across the country
Troy Knighton is a Salt Lake City, UT fee-only financial planner. Veritas Wealth Management LLC provides comprehensive financial planning, tax planning, and estate planning to help clients organize, grow and protect their assets through life’s transitions. As a fee-only, fiduciary, and independent financial advisor, Troy Knighton is never paid a commission of any kind, and has a legal obligation to provide unbiased and trustworthy financial advice.
Troy Knighton is the founder of Veritas Wealth Management located in Salt Lake City, UT.
I am a multifaceted advisor who helps individuals, families, and businesses achieve long-term financial goals. I work with a variety of entities including trusts, partnerships, not-for-profit organizations, and retirement plans. As a Certified Public Accountant, I am particularly well qualified to assist clients with complex tax and estate planning needs. You do not have to be a Certified Public Accountant to be a financial advisor, but there are significant advantages to having an extensive knowledge of the tax code when doing financial planning.
In 2012, I founded Veritas Wealth Management, LLC, partnering with some of the nation’s premier wealth management solution providers to bring my vision to life.
My dedication to working on complicated tasks efficiently and effectively allows me and my clients to spend more time doing the things we love. As a devotee of the outdoors and family, I strive to live a life of adventure. My wife Melissa and I enjoy traveling and camping with our two daughters, whom we are currently homeschooling through a global lens. When I am not helping people avoid costly financial mistakes, you can find me mountain biking, rock climbing, or backcountry touring with my split-board.
