Kestra Private Wealth Services and Inspired Wealth Planning Welcome New Advisor to Independence

Addition of Amy Dunham and her team of professionals showcases Kestra PWS’ commitment to the growth and evolution of its existing firms

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kestra Private Wealth Services (Kestra PWS), a registered investment adviser subsidiary of Kestra Financial, Inc., today welcomed Amy Dunham to its community of independent financial professionals, in partnership with Cordele, Georgia-based Inspired Wealth Planning (Inspired), which joined the Kestra PWS platform in 2023.

With $235 million in client assets under management, Dunham specializes in retirement planning, multi-generational wealth transfer, and community-based financial education. Bringing over two decades of industry experience to Inspired Wealth Planning, she will be joined by her long-time colleagues Rhonda Harwell, Director of Operations, and Natalie Edwards, Director of Client Relations.

Inspired’s financial professionals specialize in customized financial plans for clients that address life milestones such as multi-generational planning, liquidity events, legacy strategies, and longevity preparation. The firm currently has five offices across Georgia, with a footprint in Cordele, Griffin, LaGrange, Perry, and Waycross. Because Kestra PWS is dedicated to supporting the expansion of existing firms, the team offers a comprehensive real estate offering, which Dunham is leveraging to set up an office space in Griffin, Georgia. Inspired’s Griffin office marks the firm’s fifth location.

“I’m thrilled to have found a new home for myself and my colleagues with Inspired Wealth Planning and the Kestra Private Wealth Services family,” said Dunham. “With Inspired and Kestra PWS, I’m excited to capitalize on technology improvements that will benefit my longstanding client-centric approach to financial planning strategies while continuing to serve my clients in my home base of Griffin, Georgia.”

“Amy and her team were a natural fit for both Inspired Wealth Planning and Kestra Private Wealth Services,” said Rob Bartenstein, CEO of Kestra PWS. “This addition emphasizes the ongoing value proposition Kestra PWS brings to its platform of wealth management firms and financial professionals. We’re excited to continue supporting the growth of the Inspired team as they continue prioritizing elevated service for their clients.”
