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.

Financial Friction
Remembering 9/11 from My Brokerage Desk in Maryville
Twenty-five years ago this week, I dropped my son off at school and drove past Blount Memorial Hospital to my office at PaineWebber in Maryville. I was an old-fashioned stockbroker in those days. The Internet was still in its infancy. Social media didn’t exist. My morning routine was scanning a few investment message boards and...
When the Traders Come Back from the Hamptons
The last weekend of August, the Little River in Townsend is wall to wall inner tubes. You can’t find a place to park at the Wye. The rental line runs out into the gravel, and 321 backs up past the fire hall. Ten days later it’s over. The tubes are stacked and chained. The water...
Trump Accounts: Where Do They Actually Fit?
Every time a new financial account or tax strategy makes headlines, the same cycle begins. Excitement builds. Marketing ramps up. And before long, people are asking the same question: “Should I get one?” It’s a fair question. But it’s rarely the first one we should ask. At LeConte Wealth, we don’t believe in collecting financial...
I Am Spartan: What A Race Taught Me
“Don’t let the fear of failing keep you from trying. If you do fail, use what you learned to do better next time.” Those were the words the announcer shouted over the microphone as we stood at the starting line of the Spartan Race in Asheville, North Carolina. He was trying to prepare us for...
