ABOUT US

Independent, Fee-Only, Fiduciaries, Client First.

Our clients are the only ones who pay us—no commissions, no referral arrangements, and no hidden costs. Our compensation is straightforward and transparent. We focus solely on financial planning and investment management. Nothing more, nothing less.

As an independent firm, we have the freedom to design our services around what’s best for you. We’re built on the idea that everyone deserves access to professional guidance that isn’t influenced by sales quotas or product payouts. Our recommendations come from objective analysis, not from which investment generates a bigger commission or helps someone hit a target.

That sets us apart from many traditional brokers and advisors, and we think that difference matters.
Compromise can be valuable in many areas of life—but when it comes to your financial future, you shouldn’t have to settle. You deserve advice that puts your interests first, every time.
"Empowering progress through precision and integrity."

Meet our founder

Nick Faulkner, CFP®

Nick Faulkner started Testament Wealth Management after spending nearly a decade working at larger wealth management firms. He wanted to build a firm that was focused on helping individuals, families, and business owners in a comprehensive planning manner. Integrating all aspects of their financial life, not just managing their investments or selling the products.

When you evaluate someone’s life and their financial plan – all aspects should be included in that – tax planning, investment management, cashflow & budgeting analysis, retirement planning, education planning, family planning, insurance planning, estate planning, etc. All of these areas are incredibly important. Nick wanted to create a firm where clients could feel a fully integrated financial planning approach.

Nick is an alumnus of The University of North Carolina at Wilmington, a proud husband, father, and avid sports fan. He regularly attends The King’s Chapel church in Raleigh and loves playing golf with his family and friends any chance he gets.

"We want to help our clients achieve their goals in the most tax-efficient manner possible."
