LeConte Founder
Kevin Painter
“The real art of conducting consists in transitions.” Gustav Mahler
As an ensemble musician, I learned from an early age that the performing group was only as strong as their conductor. That individual had the ability to lead the entire group through the key changes, starts and finishes to achieve perfection. That’s precisely what I do for our clients at LeConte Wealth Management.

In my 20-year career, my focus has always been helping people make good choices. Whether it’s how to create a charitable giving strategy that will help a worthy non-profit for years to come after their passing, or how to pass hard-earned wealth down to the next generation in the most tax efficient manner, I’ve always been passionate about helping clients realize those possibilities. I focus on the feelings and emotions of financial decisions and to help clients not just visualize what their goals are, but how to reach them.
Kevin is a co-founder of and Managing Partner of LWM. He also serves as the Chief Compliance Officer. He creates charitable giving strategies and complex financial planning outcomes for the firm’s clients and serves as the Chief Financial Officer at LeConte.

He then joined SunTrust Investment Services as a Private Financial Advisor in Tennessee, where he partnered with Hoy Grimm to advise high net worth clients throughout the region.
He has served as Chair of the board of the United Way of Blount County, Chair of the board of Leadership Blount, and as the VIP Chair of the Blount Partnership.

Financial Friction
It’s Fantasy Football Time in Tennessee
Each fall, millions of people dive into fantasy football, building rosters, tracking statistics, and setting strategies for the season ahead. While it may seem like just a game, the principles behind it – preparation, balance, and adaptability – are surprisingly similar to those of effective financial planning. In both cases, success depends on foresight, discipline,...
Avoiding the Boiling Pot: How Gradual Neglect Destroys Financial Health
I need to be honest. Over the past year and a half, life got the best of me physically. In the “busyness” of work, family, and responsibility, I stopped doing the simple, consistent things that keep me healthy. My hip had been tight for months, and instead of addressing it, I ignored it. What began...

Yet, many taxpayers don’t fully understand how the U.S. tax bracket system works or how to use it to their advantage. Strategic use of tax brackets, known as tax bracket utilization, can make a significant difference in how much...
Junk In Your Trunk
