What Wealth Advisors Northwest does

Wealth Advisors Northwest is an independent, fee-only registered investment advisor (RIA) headquartered in Portland, Oregon, with a second office in Clackamas. Founded in 2012 by Dirk Conradie and Geoff Dougall, the firm operates as Wealth Advisors Northwest LLC under SEC registration, sharing common ownership with affiliated accounting firm Dougall Conradie CPA LLC. It delivers four integrated core services — Financial Planning, Investment Planning, Tax Planning, and Estate Planning — through a team-based "Round Table" model in which the right specialists collaborate on each client engagement.

The firm serves high-net-worth individuals and families with complex financial lives, with primary segments identified as Successful Professionals, Real Estate Investors, and Small Business Owners. Its 9-person team includes 3 Lead Advisors/Partners, 1 Senior Associate Advisor, 2 Associate Advisors, and 3 Client Service Associates. The practice is relationship-led, beginning with a discovery meeting booked through Acuity Scheduling and supported by an Orion Advisor client portal and Charles Schwab custodial services for account administration and trading. No proprietary technology platform is disclosed; the stack is built on third-party industry-standard tools.

Revenue is generated through advisory fees (subscription/recurring model) rather than product commissions, aligning the firm with a fiduciary, fee-only structure. Pricing is not publicly disclosed but is typically tied to assets-under-management on a negotiated, individual basis. Geographic focus is the Pacific Northwest, principally Oregon and the Portland metropolitan area, with marketing driven by educational content (blog, webinars, events) and direct outreach. No funding rounds, acquisitions, or external institutional investors are disclosed in the available data.

Broad incumbents

• Creative Planning: Large national fee-only RIA serving individuals and families with integrated financial planning, investment management, and tax services. Highly comparable business model to Wealth Advisors Northwest but at vastly greater scale, representing the consolidator end of the same fee-only fiduciary segment.
• Carson Wealth: National wealth management firm providing financial planning, investment management, and practice consulting for advisors. Comparable fee-only RIA positioning targeting mass-affluent and HNW clients with integrated planning, and a notable consolidator of smaller advisory firms like Wealth Advisors Northwest.
• Fisher Investments: Large fee-only investment adviser managing portfolios for high-net-worth individuals and institutions. Comparable in being a fee-only advisory serving HNW/mass-affluent clients, but specialized in discretionary portfolio management rather than integrated financial planning like Wealth Advisors Northwest.
• Edelman Financial Engines: Large independent RIA offering financial planning, investment management, and workplace advice to individuals nationwide. Comparable in targeting professionals and families with holistic planning needs, but with significantly larger scale and a digital-advisor hybrid delivery model.
• Northwestern Mutual: Large diversified financial services firm offering investment advisory, insurance, and financial planning services through a national advisor network. Overlaps with Wealth Advisors Northwest in serving professionals and business owners with integrated planning, but at much larger scale and with a different compensation model.
• Mariner Wealth Advisors: National RIA providing comprehensive financial planning, investment advisory, and tax services to high-net-worth individuals and families. Comparable in offering an integrated planning model, but with an institutional scale and acquisition-driven growth strategy that contrasts with Wealth Advisors Northwest's boutique approach.

Emerging players

• Facet Wealth: Digital-first financial planning firm combining CFP-led advice with a proprietary technology platform and flat-fee pricing. Targets the same mass-affluent and HNW-lite segments as Wealth Advisors Northwest but competes via tech-enabled delivery rather than a local in-person advisory model.
• Schwab Intelligent Portfolios: Robo-advisor offering automated investment management and access to CFP professionals as a hybrid service. Competes with Wealth Advisors Northwest for the same mass-affluent client base through a low-cost, technology-led alternative to traditional fee-only advisory.

Direct peers

• Modera Wealth Management: Fee-only RIA providing financial planning, investment management, and tax planning to individuals, families, and small business owners. Closely comparable in business model, service mix, and client segmentation, operating as a similarly sized multi-advisor fee-only firm.
