Professional guidance that helps inspire confidence
At Howell Wealth Consulting Group, we are not only experienced wealth managers and problem solvers. We are innovative thinkers who understand what drives entrepreneurs and share the same passion for ingenious ideas and creative solutions.
Over the last 25 years, we have worked closely with various industry professionals who have chosen us to help them explore new ventures and further their business and personal aspirations through tailored financial planning and portfolio management. Our team of enthusiastic collaborators can provide the advice you need to help seize opportunities, manage risk, and pursue your definition of success.
Working with diverse clients with specific needs, our team sees it as our top responsibility to understand each aspect of your unique and often complicated financial life.
When you have created or inherited significant wealth, you have opportunities to pursue bold and meaningful undertakings. How do you make decisions that will guide you successfully forward, no matter what your goal? Your life and priorities are multidimensional. We understand how each can impact the others—not only today but for years and generations to come.
We can help you build a comprehensive financial plan by bringing together all the resources you need under one roof. We make it easy and efficient to do business, access solutions and get clear answers to make informed decisions.
Whether it’s for your family, your community or your cause—your money and investments today will shape tomorrow. Start crafting a plan that serves your purpose and the people who matter most. We know your legacy matters to you. It matters to us too.
By seeing the big picture, we provide access to the global platforms and the financial and intellectual strengths of UBS’s experts in Wealth Management, Asset Management and our Private and Investment Banks.
A longevity strategy can help you overcome changing market conditions by helping you make long-term plans. Look to grow wealth over time so you can focus on things like selling a business or planning for retirement.
You've worked hard and carefully invested to ensure that you’ll live life on your terms in retirement. But are you ready for a retirement that could span 30 years or more? What’s the right plan to help make sure your retirement funds last? Our team will work with you to help preserve your lifestyle and livelihood in retirement by understanding your goals, risk and time horizon.
But the financial stakes of your decisions are getting higher. Today, your financial situation is more complex and you’re looking at how to grow and safeguard your assets. No matter what's happening in the markets, at home or throughout the world, we're with you and your family.
With over 25 years of experience, Brad Howell is an industry leader and is one of a small number of UBS Financial Advisors who have earned the designation of Managing Director-Wealth Management. With over four consecutive years on the Forbes Best-in-State Wealth Advisors list, he provides various financial services and highly personalized wealth management advice to help individuals achieve their financial goals and aspirations.
Brad and his team at Howell Wealth Consulting Group focus on providing comprehensive financial planning for individuals, families, and companies with over $2 million in investable assets.
I am deeply committed to philanthropy and a passionate advocate for the LGBTQ+ community. Wealth, in my view, can be a catalyst for positive change. It lets people express what matters to them, and I enjoy working with clients who want their financial lives to reflect the causes and communities they love.
My perspective is shaped by a bachelor’s degree in law and society from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and a master’s degree in organizational leadership from Chapman University. With a background grounded in the social sciences, I believe financial planning is a relationship driven, human process that starts with listening and getting to know each client’s values, goals, and long-term vision.
Prior to joining UBS, I spent nearly 25 years at Capital Group in a range of client focused leadership and operational roles within financial services. An experience that, together with a people first mindset, helps me build lasting relationships and support clients with steadiness and care.
I am based in Phoenix, Arizona, where I serve as a Financial Advisor at UBS, one of the world’s leading global wealth management firms. I help clients navigate important and complex financial decisions with clarity, taking a thoughtful, values-based approach to long term wealth planning.
