Kingsley Wealth Partners (KWP), founded by Aaron Richards, M.S., has announced its official launch, introducing a new wealth management model built on one principle: advisors and their clients come first.
Breaking From Tradition
Unlike traditional wealth management firms, KWP removes bureaucracy, offers transparent incentives, and gives advisors full control of their client relationships. The firm provides:
- Transparent payouts and stronger economics
- Faster decision-making with minimal hierarchy
- A marketing engine reaching 120,000+ targeted leads
- Direct mentorship from the founder and peer community
- Flexible W-2 or 1099 structures with competitive benefits
This “advisor-first” model is designed to help financial professionals scale their practices while focusing on what matters most—serving families.
What Sets Kingsley Apart
KWP is independent, well-capitalized, and founder-led. Pending approval as a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA), the firm is committed to delivering fiduciary-level planning, personalized portfolio guidance, and streamlined operations that keep advisors closer to their clients.
Founder’s Vision
Aaron Richards, raised by two pastors, built Kingsley Wealth Partners on values of service, faith, and responsibility. His mission: help families achieve financial stability so they can focus on each other.
Prior to KWP, Richards led ATN, a national education and community platform, where he created scalable systems that simplified complex challenges. That experience reinforced his belief that advisors thrive when barriers are removed.
“As a minority-owned firm based in Phoenix, we’re building a culture that blends heart with rigor—modern systems, transparent planning, and lasting relationships,” Richards said.
Built for Growth
KWP’s financial strength and advisor-first model set the stage for rapid expansion. For advisors, the firm delivers independence, mentorship, and scalable tools. For clients, it offers wealth management grounded in trust and people-first service.
