Our Values

Best Is Best

“Okay is not okay” with us because average is the enemy of greatness. We will always seek to maintain a fiduciary mindset, no matter what.

Entrepreneurial spirit

We take calculated risk, innovate, challenge the status quo, work as a team, inspire others, and work with passion to make our vision a reality. Remember “if you act like you own the place, one day you will.”

Impeccable Character

We do the right thing the first time and never compromise to deliver on our promises. Integrity is the building block of trust which is our ultimate product and the key to our success.

Growth Mindset

We have knowledge driven culture and are committed to continuous lifetime learning, study and personal growth. Our organization & your career can only go as far as your ability to learn, process, and implement new ideas. Knowledge compounds.

Enhanced Transparency

We operate in the open, avoiding unnecessary complexity & opaqueness, instead favoring transparency and disclosure.

Selfless Service

We give back to the communities we serve. Be a large flowing river not a salt-lake. It is our mission to leave the world a little better than we found it.

Relentless Independence

We are not afraid to go in a different direction from the herd. This takes guts.

Deliver “WOW”

We always go the extra mile and deliver more than is expected at every interaction.

Michael Mills

Founder | Managing Principal

I’m Michael Mills, but feel free to call me Mike. I’m the Founder, and Managing Principal for Mills Wealth. I’m a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® Professional, a Chartered Life Underwriter, Certified Exit Planning Advisor, and Certified Fund Specialist, and I graduated from the US Air Force Academy in 1990 with a BS in Management.
I have a straightforward investment philosophy: keep costs low, diversify broadly, focus on factors that work, minimize exposure to less profitable areas, use rule-based tax-efficient rebalancing, and limit emotional decision-making. The key to success is saving regularly and living below your means.

Stephen B. Nelson, CFP®, AIF®, CEPA®

Partner | Senior Wealth Manager

Hey there, I’m Stephen Nelson, CFP®, CEPA®, AIF®, Partner and Senior Wealth Manager at MWA. I graduated from Utah Tech University with a Bachelors in Finance and have worked in wealth management ever since. In 2018, I joined the MWA team as a Wealth Advisor, but have since grown into a leadership position. I think of investing like watching someone play with a Yo-yo on an escalator. Every few seconds, the Yo-yo is going up or down, but if you watch the person, you’ll see that they continue to rise up. Investments can appear turbulent, but if you stay the course and play a longer strategy, you could reduce your stress, understand your risk more accurately, and build wealth more efficiently.

Matthew Brown, CFP®

Private Wealth Manager | Director of Trading

Hey there, I’m Matthew Brown, a CFP® and a proud member of the Mills Wealth Advisors team. My journey in the world of finance began after I graduated from the University of Mississippi in 2012 with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Business. I started my career at TD Ameritrade, where I gained valuable experience in equity, margin, and complex derivative trading. While working for larger Broker-Dealers was a great experience, I realized that I wanted to be on the side of the industry that makes a lasting difference in people’s lives.

Emily Rickman, CPA CFP®

Private Wealth Advisor | Business & Tax Planning
Hi there! I’m Emily Rickman (CPA and CFP®). I started my journey at Texas A&M University, where I earned my Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting and later my Master of Financial Management. Gig ’em, Aggies! In September 2022, I found my home at MWA. I absolutely love it here! My investment and wealth management philosophy is simple: slow and steady wins the race. I believe in disciplined savings and intentional, low-cost investing in diversified markets. No need for flashy, high-risk moves – just a consistent, balanced approach that provides a smoother ride over time.

Helen Esomo, MBA

Associate Wealth Advisor

Hello! I’m Helen Esomo, and I’m thrilled to be a part of the Mills Wealth Advisors team. With an MBA, MSc, and a Diploma in Financial & Management Accounting, I bring a diverse educational background to the table. I passed the Series 65 exam in 2021, strengthening my expertise in the field. When it comes to investment and wealth management, I believe in the power of long-term investing, identifying inefficiencies, and diversifying your portfolio. Stay focused on your goals, seek value in underappreciated companies, and minimize risk by spreading your investments across various assets.
