Brian T. Mathis, CFP®
Managing Director
bmathis@investdavenport.com

In April 2024, I made the decision to move my wealth management practice to Davenport & Company LLC.  Prior to joining Davenport, I was a financial advisor at Edward Jones for 26 years. During my career, I have mentored and coached newer financial advisors, have lectured and taught training classes, and ran advanced workshops on topics ranging from portfolio building to estate considerations to tax-efficient investing strategies. I am proud to say that for the past three years I have been named as one of Forbes Best-in-State Wealth Advisors in North Carolina.*

I collaborate with my clients to offer customized strategies to help them achieve their financial goals. From a widow who is courageously facing the next chapter of life, to an entrepreneur whose long hours and risk-taking have finally paid off. From an executive who wants to help ease the burden of beloved heirs, to a business owner who wants to help employees prepare for retirement.

I graduated from William & Mary with a BS in Finance and attended North Carolina State’s Masters in History program. Throughout my career my wife, Lisa, has been my biggest supporter. Our two children fulfilled a dream by attending and graduating from our Alma Mater, William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. Outside of work, I am committed to giving back to my community and have served as a past board president for Temple Theater. I enjoy playing golf and pickle ball, and classic cars.
