FOUNDER & PRINCIPAL OWNER

ALLEN NEUENSCHWANDER, CPA, CFP®

After picking up the pieces from a devastating financial tragedy my family experienced, I began a crusade to help others avoid the financial calamity my own family endured.  On a mission to empower and educate investors and small business owners, I began teaching community education classes across the Greater Houston area.  These platforms launched me into the world of financial planning and investment management and eventually to my founding Outlook Wealth Advisors.

Focused on strategic retirement income planning for over 25 years, I utilize a wholistic financial planning approach we call Outlook 360.  Our specialty is discovering each client’s unique needs and goals and then helping them construct their own customized retirement plan.  My goal is to leave everyone I meet better off whether we decide to work together or not.

After obtaining my Master of Business degree at the University of Tennessee I began my career as an Auditor with a “Big 5” multinational accounting firm.  This career was interrupted by my military service as a U.S. Army Finance officer, where I was promoted to First Lieutenant and received an honorable discharge.  I subsequently completed the rigorous requirements to become a CPA and the extensive training program to become a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) providing a unique perspective that few advisors possess.

While attending Spring Hill College in Mobile, AL, I met and married my wife, Stephanie.  We have three grown sons and eight grandchildren.  All three of our sons are small business owners and we are proud of the impact they are making in their families and communities.  Woodlands Church is our home church and we enjoy time with the friends we’ve met there and across the Greater Houston area.  We enjoy Broadway plays, traveling, water sports on Lake Conroe, and of course, our grandchildren.

FOUNDER & PRINCIPAL OWNER

MICHAEL NEUENSCHWANDER, CPA, CFP®

As an educator at heart, I love to help others simplify and understand complex financial topics.  While predicting the unpredictable is impossible, I believe the holistic financial planning approach we call Outlook 360 allows me to offer an in-depth planning approach to my clients that covers as many bases as possible.  From tax-efficient strategies to investment advice to protecting your assets, for over 20 years my priority has been to help families across the Greater Houston area build a strong fiscal house that supports their lifestyle and long-term financial goals.

Grounded in the principles of my training as a CPA and  CFP® I am proud to serve as a fiduciary building trust with my clients through due diligence, integrity and transparency.  Designing forward-thinking, tax-efficient investment strategies for retirees, specifically the complex situations unique to high-net-worth families has been my life’s work.  My focus is to turn the complex components of wealth management into solutions for protecting and preserving their wealth while minimizing tax exposure.

A native Houstonian, I received my Bachelor’s degree in accounting and a Master’s degree in Finance from Texas A&M University.  I have had the pleasure of writing for Forbes and Kiplinger magazines and was a featured financial expert as a radio talk-show host and on Houston’s Fox 26 news.  Along with my father, we co-authored “Retire Abundantly” and “Mistake Free Retirement.”

Married for more than two decades to my high-school sweetheart, Rachel, my proudest accomplishment are our children Ella and Hudson.  We enjoy home improvement projects and getaways to the beach or lake and the occasional winter vacation to the mountains for some skiing.  High-performance cars are a passion.  And, of course, no fall would be complete without at least several trips to College Station to attend an Aggie football game with friends.

FINANCIAL ADVISOR

BILL GRAVES

Brought up in a large, tight-knit family with strong family values, Bill developed a solid foundation for treating others with love, respect and loyalty.

Bill began his professional career in architecture after Texas Tech University and followed his dad into their family business. However, architecture was not his passion and 25 years ago he made the move to financial services, finding similarities in both professions. Bill enjoys helping his clients visualize and design their financial strategies, building out the foundation, the walls, and roof of their fiscal house while caring for the minute details and keeping their broad vision in mind.

Serving as a fiduciary advisor Bill helps his clients navigate financial complexities to develop a solid financial plan based on their individual vision and purpose. He prides himself on maintaining clear communication with all parties to develop successful, long-term outcomes. Just as an architect surrounds themselves with a team of professionals, Bill has a strong network of Certified Public Accountants, Estate Planning Attorneys, and Federal Tax Attorneys to assist him and his clients to develop and execute strategies.

Bill is blessed with two wonderful daughters, and an amazing fiance with three energetic boys whom he considers his own. Bill and his family enjoy boating, skiing, fishing, hiking, biking, rock climbing, golf and tennis. In his spare time and as a health advocate, he enjoys researching alternative medicine.
