Parker Wealth Management is a fee-based advisory practice where the emphasis is on clients, not transactions.
After spending four years and opening an office in Olmsted Falls, Ohio for a large brokerage firm, Chris Parker moved down the street and opened Parker Financial at the end of 2005. The practice was renamed in October 2007 to Parker Wealth Management to more accurately describe the practice's purpose.
