Around the week of Thanksgiving, our staff put up the Christmas decorations early to get in the festive spirit. We have mini Christmas trees adorning our front desk, the largest “skinny tree” you could ever image is displayed in our conference room, and garland is spread throughout each of the offices.

Summer activities are winding down, college football is underway, and there’s a bit of chill in the air as the leaves start to turn. The staff at Iowa Wealth Management is enjoying all the season has to offer, and we wish you all a wonderful fall. Iowa Wealth Management approaches its ninth anniversary this January, and I’m proud to say the company has evolved with the times. Last year we formed our own Registered Investment Advisory entity to better serve our clients and meet a growing regulatory obligation, and this year we added a few new faces to our team. I’d like to take this time to introduce you to some new, and familiar, team members.
