Branch Partners

What Branch Partners does

Branch Partners is a boutique wealth management firm founded in 2020 and headquartered in Athens, Georgia. The firm operates as an independent business entity through which Investment Adviser Representatives (IARs) registered with Mariner Platform Solutions (MPS), an SEC-registered investment adviser, market their advisory services. Branch Partners is not owned, controlled by, or affiliated with MPS despite leveraging its regulatory and back-office infrastructure.

The firm delivers a fully integrated suite of financial services under a single in-house team: wealth management, investment management, tax planning and preparation, trust services, insurance, and retirement planning services. In addition, it offers a dedicated Corporate Executive Services track tailored to executives with concentrated stock positions, equity compensation, and limited time for personal financial management. Underlying technology is limited to standard RIA tooling, specifically the Orion Advisor platform used for client portfolio management and client login services; the firm is not a technology company.

Branch Partners generates revenue through investment advisory fees on assets under management, serving high-net-worth individuals, families, and corporate executives primarily in the U.S. Southeast. Its go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-based, relying on referrals, professional advisory networks, and content marketing (an Insights blog publishing market commentary and a 2026 Tax Guide). With five employees, the firm operates at small scale relative to national RIAs and has not publicly disclosed revenue, AUM, or funding history.
