Welcome to

Elysium Wealth Management

Elysium:

(noun): \ih-lizh-ee-uhm\
Elysium is a place of harmony, guidance, and empowerment—both in mythology and in practice. In Greek mythology, Elysium was a state of eternal peace and fulfillment. Elysium Wealth Management embraces that vision by creating a space where individuals and families can achieve financial clarity and improved security through informed choices and expert collaboration.

At Elysium, we believe true financial success comes from a holistic approach—one that integrates financial planning, tax strategy, and legal expertise under one roof. Too often, individuals face fragmented advice from separate professionals who don’t communicate. At Elysium Wealth Management, we eliminate that disconnect by bringing together financial advisors, estate planning attorneys, and tax professionals, in house, to collaborate for your benefit.

Our fully licensed advisors are committed to going above and beyond for you, your friends, and your family. We provide the guidance, tools, and strategies to help you understand your financial landscape and make informed decisions for your future. Whether you’re planning for retirement, growing your investments, or securing your legacy, our team of fiduciaries is committed to empowering you with clear, comprehensive, and personalized solutions. Your financial life is multi-faceted—your planning should be too.

How To Successfully Communicate Your Legacy & Estate Plan

Estate planning is a function of preparing for the inevitabilities of life. People get sick or hurt, and you need a plan in place to determine what kind of medical care you’ll receive if this happens to you. People become incapacitated, unable to make important decisions on their own, or unable to live independently. And, of course, people die. Estate planning helps to protect your family and your assets in any of these unfortunate situations.

Tax Planning Guide For The New Year

We believe it’s important that you look to employ “tax diversity” in your retirement plan. Different types of investments can impact your taxes differently. Having accounts that receive varying tax treatments is a key strategy. You should work with a qualified professional to help determine exactly how much you should have in each tax “bucket” to help minimize your overall tax burden in retirement.

While the tax code can be incredibly complex, you still need to stick to the basics when it comes to filing and preparing your tax returns. So, here are our 5 tips to help you better prepare for tax filing this year.

Legacy & Estate Planning – Understand The Basics

Estate planning is an important part of retirement planning for many reasons. You’ve worked hard for your money and want to see your children and grandchildren benefit, and you want to see it passed down in the most efficient way possible. Unfortunately, costly mistakes are all too easy to make, from forgetting to name a beneficiary on your retirement account to not updating your estate plan over time. It’s not just billionaires who need to have solid estate plans; it’s anyone who wants their wishes to be honored after their passing.

Important Birthdays Over 50

Before you begin planning your retirement, be sure to mark these important dates in your calendar.

Now the real fun begins! Starting at age 50, several birthdays – including “half-birthdays” – are critical to strategize for as they have crucial implications for your retirement future.

Jennifer Valentina

Jennifer Valentina settled in Utah initially due to her love of animals. After obtaining her second college degree in Zoo Animal Technology in Florida she moved to Utah in 1999 to work at the Tracy Aviary. 15 years later she retired from animal care to spend more time with her young children. It did not take long for Jennifer to get back out into the workplace where she tried her hand at teaching and even delivering the mail. When a position opened up at Pearson Butler in reception, she tapped into her experience working reception at a doctor’s office in college and quickly became indispensable to the law firm and by extension, Elysium. She spent five years as the Billing Specialist for Elysium. While this work kept her busy, it didn’t fulfill her need to be helping clients directly. When the opportunity to be the Funding Coordinator was presented to her, she jumped at the chance.

These experiences instilled in him the importance of fostering strong client relationships and delivering real value—lessons that have only strengthened throughout his career.
