About Sam Evans, CFA, CExP

Hi, I'm Sam Evans. My life story is about relentless determination. Nothing has come easy for me. From academics to athletics, every accomplishment has relied heavily on self-motivation and hard work.

My passion for finance began with admiring my grandfather’s silver coin collection. His stories about how those coins appreciated in value over time fascinated me as I grew older. Later, stories of leverage buyouts in the 1980s—and the rise of discount brokers that made stock trading accessible to everyone—only intensified my desire to understand all things financial.

But it was never just about being part of the financial world. I wanted to use that knowledge to help others. In time, it became clear that wealth management combined both passions.

Starting a business to bring that vision to life has been one of the most challenging things I’ve ever done, but it has been more than worth the effort in terms of fulfillment.

At Evans Wealth, wealth management is about leveraging that same relentless determination—going the extra mile and focusing on the small details that make a big difference. From identifying tax planning opportunities, to repositioning portfolios for the next market cycle, to planning a business owner’s exit, the same intensity that built this firm is applied to helping you turn your vision into reality.

Our goal is to build a relationship that lasts a lifetime. Evans Wealth is a family-owned business with deep roots in Atlanta, here to serve you. If I can be of service, let’s talk.

My husband and I chose Evans Wealth Management in 2021 to assist us with our retirement planning, and it has truly been the best decision for us. Since I retired in 2022, we have worked together to create a comprehensive retirement goal for my husband. This plan encompasses everything we need, from charitable planning and business appraisal to continued investment growth. While we are extremely satisfied with our portfolio's performance, what we appreciate most is the frequent communication, the high quality of service, and the trustworthy relationship we have established with the team. If you are looking for assistance with your retirement planning, I highly recommend Evans Wealth Management.

We have been with Evans Wealth since the firm was started and have always counted on his counsel for investment accounts and estate planning. We consider Sam, Joy and Lilly Grace to not only be great advisors but they are our "go to" source for ethical, christian based advice that we know we can always rely on.

EDIT: Here I am, years later, writing another great review for Evans Wealth Management. Evans has considerably increased my investments, helped me with estate planning questions and walked me through how to best make charitable donations. Most of all Sam has made me secure in my retirement. I am worry free thanks to him and I can't recommend EWM enough. I have complete trust in Sam which adds to my confidence in my future. Thank you Sam and Lily!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I consider it one of my smartest decisions to have Sam Evans manage my money. I didn’t want to deal with it in retirement so I turned it over to Sam. Doing so has allowed me to relax knowing that I’m in great hands. I knew Sam for several years before we established a business relationship so I already knew that he was of sterling character, a fine person. I highly recommend Sam!

I have worked with Evans Wealth Management (EWM) for wealth management, retirement planning, and investment management, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. EWM provides truly personalized advice and takes the time to listen and understand my goals before recommending any strategy. EWM has also been extremely helpful in developing thoughtful approaches to charitable giving and tax-efficient planning. I never feel like I’m being sold a one-size-fits-all solution — everything is tailored specifically to my needs. Sam demonstrates high ethical standards, professionalism, and genuine care for his clients. He is someone I fully trust and I highly recommend EWM.

I have been working with Evans Wealth Management for a few years now. I came to them because I had a couple pensions I wanted to convert and also wanted to start doing some Retirement Planning. I was inexperienced in these topics and how to do proper investing. I have learned a lot since working with this company. They are extremely knowledgeable and really added a personal touch to the work they prepared for me. It is greatly appreciated and I have a much better understand of the preparation I need to be doing.

One of the best decisions, prior to retirement, was to select Evans Wealth Management as my Financial Advisor, beginning in 2019. Sam Evans provides personalized support and recommendations tailored specifically to me, rather than a generic package I had seen from a big-box institution. Additionally, EWM provides regular updates regarding the State of the Markets, Portfolio Reviews, sharing information on Living Well topics. All of these are reasons why I can – and have – recommended talking with Evans Wealth Management.
