Who We Are Shape

A Little About Us

We’re here to help people make smarter financial decisions with honest advice, thoughtful planning, and a steady focus on managing risk.

As a fee-only Registered Investment Advisor, we don’t earn commissions or incentives for recommending specific investments. We’re only paid by our clients—so our advice stays focused on what’s best for you.

Financial planning should feel personal, not transactional. We’ll take time to understand your goals, build a plan that fits your life, and make adjustments along the way—because life rarely goes exactly as planned.

We care deeply about who we work with. Our team is built on integrity, and we look for those same values in the clients we serve.

Risk matters. That’s why we factor in the economy and business cycle when building portfolios. We’re here to help you grow—but not at the expense of taking unnecessary risk. Because how you get to your goals is just as important as reaching them.

Al W. Culbreth, Jr.

Al W. Culbreth, Jr.

Honorary Founder

Culbreth Wealth Management was officially founded in 2023, but its roots go back to 1968. That’s when Paul’s father, Al W. Culbreth, Jr., began his career as an insurance advisor with Mutual of New York (MONY), just before graduating from Georgia Tech.

Over time, Al’s practice evolved alongside his clients’ needs. He expanded his expertise through executive programs at Harvard and Wharton, eventually shifting his focus to retirement planning and wealth management. He built lasting relationships, guided by care, trust, and a deep respect for the responsibility of managing his clients’ life savings.

In 2005, Paul joined his father in the business, learning from his experience and values firsthand. They worked side by side for nearly a decade until Al’s passing in 2014.

Though losing a father, mentor, and business partner was incredibly difficult, Paul has continued to serve their clients and grow the business—guided by the principles his father lived every day.

Al would be proud to know that his legacy lives on through Culbreth Wealth Management.
