"My wife and I have had the benefit of working with John Gatewood for over thirty-five years. Initially, John worked with us planning our personal and business life insurance needs. As his service offerings expanded, we took advantage of his expertise to help us with our family's financial planning. We could not be more pleased than what we are with the plan the Gatewood Wealth Solutions team developed for us. The team members are well-trained, intelligent, friendly, enthusiastic, and very good listeners. We have two scheduled reviews of the plan every year with one of the principals and at least…"

"My wife and I have known and worked with John Gatewood and his team for nearly a decade.  The values-driven team of Gatewood Wealth Solutions is motivated, caring, highly competent and personally fueled by character and integrity.  I recommended GWS to friends and family - including my children - because their deep desire to help clients "give purpose to their wealth" gives us all the opportunity to better serve our families and communities."

"My wife and I became a client of Gatewood Wealth Solutions twelve years ago on the recommendation of a friend who was also a GWS client, and I am very glad that we did. Until that time, I had managed our 401(k) and investments, but with retirement on the horizon, we felt it important to get professional help for retirement planning and investment management. The Gatewood team developed an integrated financial and retirement plan we refined together. It was based on information such as our current financial position, desired retirement date and lifestyle, anticipated job and retirement income, expenses, and…"

"I have worked with Gatewood Wealth Solutions since its inception and could not speak more highly of my experience. Gatewood Wealth Solutions provides comprehensive wealth management services for my family in a very sophisticated way. Their planning services are comprehensive and consider all assets of our family, not just what they manage. This is important for our family since we have a real estate business which must be considered in our planning. They also help us with our estate and tax planning each year. Their service is exceptional and is proactive and not reactive. I have referred members of my…"

"I’ve been with Gatewood Wealth Solutions and its predecessor for 21 years as our financial advisors. I first met John Gatewood in 2002 when I purchased a life insurance policy from him when he was with Northwestern Mutual. Shortly after having additional discussions with John, we started using them as our only financial advisors. They continued over the years to more than perform above my expectations and also started to bring in additional talent within their organization in order expand and meet client’s expectations. Since they’ve organized as Gatewood Wealth Solution and separated from Northwestern Mutual, they’ve continued to add…"

"I have been with Gatewood Wealth Solution for seven years, and I would highly recommend them for wealth management services.  They are a small but very efficient, effective, knowledgeable team that provides highly personalized, client-centered services.  If I didn't know better, I would think that I am their only client!  They have an excellent working relationship with a highly respected law firm that provides assistance with trusts and estate planning.  They also have an excellent working relationship with a tax accounting firm.  All of this so that all aspects of my financial planning needs are seamlessly coordinated. Their quarterly meetings…"

"Gatewood Wealth Solutions has been one of our best decisions we have made in the last five years. I have met with numerous financial planners who’ve all come to me with similar ideas and recommendations that don’t seem to prove that they are thinking outside the box for me individually. But when Gatewood Wealth Solutions came to me with their plan it was strategically designed with so many aspects taken into consideration that I was surprised at how uniquely competent and professional they were. They brought me many ideas and recommendations that would not bring them profit. They brought me…"

"I have known John Gatewood, the founder of Gatewood Wealth Solutions, for many years. We became friends well before we talked about business, and it was a natural decision to turn to John for help with our affairs when I needed it because I had grown to know and trust him. It really is true that John and his team at Gatewood Wealth Solutions are completely focused on helping ordinary families like ours to become financially independent. The family part especially means something: One day my 20-something son called to ask if I thought our group would be willing to…"
