Independence That Works For You
Award-winning, independent wealth management founded on the belief that clients deserve unbiased advice and fiduciary-level care.
Denver Wealth Management
Denver Wealth Management (DWM) is an award-winning, independent wealth management firm founded in 2012. Headquartered in the Denver Tech Center with a second location in Steamboat Springs, DWM serves clients across 48 states who want personalized, fiduciary-level financial guidance.
True Independence
Unlike advisors at big banks or wirehouses who are limited to selling their company's products, DWM operates as an independent Registered Investment Advisor (RIA).
No Proprietary Product Requirements
Advisors recommend what's best for you, not what pays them the most.
Access to the Entire Marketplace
Investment options from multiple providers, not just one company.
True Objectivity
Recommendations based solely on your needs and goals.
Fiduciary Standard
DWM advisors operate under a fiduciary standard, meaning they are legally obligated to put your interests above their own. This is the highest standard of care in the financial industry.
Most Advisors (Suitability Standard)
Only required to recommend "suitable" investments - ones that aren't inappropriate for you, even if better options exist.
DWM Advisors (Fiduciary Standard)
Legally required to recommend what's in YOUR best interest, even if it means earning less themselves.
"We left our positions at larger firms because we were frustrated with the limitations placed on us. We were constrained to recommend only proprietary products, creating a conflict of interest. In 2012, we opened Denver Wealth Management to do things differently."

Co-Founders
To Put Clients First, Always
Co-founders Blair Braden, CFP and Zachary Bouck, CIMA, CFP left their positions at larger firms because they were frustrated with the limitations placed on them.
They were constrained to recommend only a handful of proprietary products, which created a conflict of interest—they couldn't always offer clients the most appropriate solutions.
In 2012, they opened Denver Wealth Management with one mission: to put clients first, always.
Accessible to Everyone
While many wealth management firms require $500,000 or more to open an account, DWM welcomes clients at every stage of their financial journey—from those just starting to invest with as little as $1 to high-net-worth individuals with millions in assets.
"Our people and process allow our team to professionally manage accounts ranging from as little as $1 to millions. At Denver Wealth Management, we are committed to helping families and individuals of all asset sizes."
Awards & Accolades
Our commitment to client success has been recognized by leading industry publications.
