About Upraise Wealth Advisory
Finance can seem complex and overwhelming. It's easy to get caught up in the details and lose sight of the bigger picture: What’s your vision for the future, and how can a financial plan help bring it to life?
We believe that comprehensive wealth planning can empower you to live the life you want. We believe in thoughtful, detailed planning so our clients have more time to enjoy their lives and families.
Today, fiduciary advice and guidance that is independent of influence is available to you. Our approach is built on the belief that your "why" is just as important as the "how." From the very first conversation, we focus on understanding what truly matters to you. Once your goals are clear, we create a personalized financial plan tailored to support your needs, priorities, and lifestyle.
Our support goes beyond your initial financial plan, we're here to guide you through every aspect of your financial life. By working together to enhance your financial well-being, we strive to make a meaningful difference for you and those you care about.
Michael Parks, CFP®
Founder/Certified Financial Planner™
I’m Michael Parks, a Certified Financial Planner™ and the founder of Upraise Wealth Advisory. I have been helping individuals, families, and business owners plan for their financial futures for over a decade prior to founding the firm. Prior to founding Upraise Wealth Advisory, I served clients while with Fidelity Investments, and later, Edward Jones.
I pride myself on being a trusted advisor that my clients can rely on for unbiased, personalized advice. I believe that the most essential qualities any trusted financial planner should have are a strong ethical foundation, a high level of expertise with a mindset of continuous learning and growth, and a deep passion for helping others.
I live in Annapolis, MD, and when not working, I enjoy rooting for the Commanders and other local teams, cycling, and spending time with friends and family.
