Our Team


W. Edward Newton Jr., CPA, CFP®

Managing Director

Ed is originally from Huntington, West Virginia. He earned his degree in accounting from Virginia Tech and a Master’s degree from Liberty University. Upon graduation, he joined Arthur Andersen & Co. in their tax department. He began his CPA firm in 1977.

As both a CPA (NC License #23103; VA License #4627) and Certified Financial Planner (Certificate #97181), Ed is positioned to help clients seek a worry-free retirement.

In addition to being the managing partner at Newton Wealth Management, Ed was a commercial pilot for a major airline. Before his retirement from the airline, his weekend routes included London, Frankfurt, and Rome.

“The analytical and problem-solving abilities involved in being a pilot and an investment advisor are very similar,” says Ed. “Both require the need to minimize emotions from the decision making process.”

Ed and his wife, Millie, have lived in Charlotte for over 30 years. He has three grown children, a son and two daughters, and has been blessed with six grandchildren (so far!).
