About Zach Pearson, CFP®

Zach Pearson is a Senior Advisory Associate at HB Wealth, where he works closely with clients to build long-term relationships and deliver thoughtful, comprehensive financial strategies. As a client-facing advisor, Zach takes the lead in translating complex planning concepts into clear, actionable guidance to help clients make confident financial decisions.

Zach joined HB Wealth in January 2024 and brings a strong background in communication, strategy, and relationship management to his role. Prior to joining the firm, he spent a decade with Best Lawyers, a global legal rankings organization, where he held a variety of roles spanning finance, business development, and international strategic partnerships. That experience sharpened his ability to simplify complex details and tailor services to the needs of high-performing professionals – skills that now serve his advisory work well.

Zach earned his Bachelor of Science in Business Economics from the University of South Florida and became a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional in 2025. He works with business owners, individuals, and their families to integrate long-term planning to achieve their unique goals for legacy, charity, retirement, and risk management to promote financial confidence through every stage of life.

Outside the office, Zach is an active participant of the worship team at True North Church, where he plays drums and piano. Originally from Tampa, he now lives in North Augusta, South Carolina with his wife and two young daughters. When he is not collaborating with clients, Zach invests heavily in family time – currently teaching his daughters (and his wife) to play golf, all part of a low-risk, long-term strategy to spend more time together on the course. He is a lifelong learner who enjoys exploring new interests and skills, bringing the same curiosity and long-term perspective to life outside the office while investing his time where it matters most – at home, in his community, and with the people closest to him.

About HB Wealth

HB Wealth is a national independent wealth management firm providing fiduciary, fee-only wealth advisory services, investment management, and family office services. Founded in 1989 as Homrich Berg Wealth Management and headquartered in Atlanta, HB Wealth proudly serves clients nationwide from our offices in Georgia, Florida, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee.

With twelve offices and a dedicated team of professionals, we provide tailored investment solutions, comprehensive financial planning, and specialized family office services.

As a fiduciary and fee-only firm, we offer objective advice aligned solely with our clients’ best interests—delivering the expertise and personal attention they need to manage and preserve their wealth across generations, no matter where they call home.

Who We Serve

HB Wealth is privileged to serve a diverse community of clients, each with unique goals, challenges and aspirations.

Whether you are an individual or family navigating life’s financial complexities, a business owner or entrepreneur growing or transitioning a company, an executive, a professional, or a retiree, we take the time to understand the nuances of your situation and seek to provide comprehensive advice designed to achieve your financial objectives.

We also work with those experiencing major life changes, such as becoming suddenly single due to divorce or loss, and we offer deep capabilities in supporting multi-generational families seeking to preserve and transfer wealth with intention. For institutions, we provide investment management and governance support aligned with fiduciary duty and mission stewardship.

Across all of these client segments, what unites our approach is our commitment to acting in your best interest. As a fee-only fiduciary, HB Wealth provides comprehensive advice without the influence of revenue from product sales or commissions. Our team’s credentialed experts deliver wealth advisory services and investment management grounded in integrity, independence, and a long-term partnership philosophy.

Our Services

At HB Wealth, we believe in a comprehensive approach to wealth management, spanning both wealth advisory services and investment management to meet the specific needs of the clients we are privileged to serve. For more complex situations, including working with multigenerational families and institutions, we offer additional guidance and services.

We believe one of the key advantages of our comprehensive approach and broad range of services is that our clients don’t “outgrow” us. We have long-standing relationships with families who began working with HB early in their careers and, as their wealth has grown, now rely on us for sophisticated family office services. We have intentionally invested in credentialed experts and built a platform designed to work with you through every stage of life, as your wealth grows and your financial issues become more complex.

Transparent Pricing

As a fee-only fiduciary, our only agenda is our clients'. We are committed to transparency in our service levels and costs so clients always know what they are paying, and we do not sell insurance, mortgages, or proprietary products.

Our fees typically start at 1.25% of assets under management, dropping to 1% for assets under management above $1 million, and continue to decrease as your wealth increases. Our minimum annual fee is typically $12,500. Family Office clients may work with HB Wealth on a flat fee basis (or a combination of a flat fee and lower % of assets under management) linked specifically to the desired level of complex services needed by the family.

At HB Wealth, clients know exactly what they are paying because our firm does not rely on commissions or hidden fees. HB Wealth is solely compensated directly by clients for the advice we provide.

Investment advisory services are offered through HB Wealth Management, LLC, a registered investment adviser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

I can’t imagine a better team to manage my investments and financial future than Bill and Zach. They are available for my questions or concerns at any time and always take time to explain things in terms that I can understand. I feel that they have my best interest at heart and I trust them implicitly.
