Who actually runs Dominion Private Wealth?
Justin Kauffman, CFP®, CEPA®, founded the firm and serves as Managing Partner. He leads planning and runs lead advisor on most engagements. Erik Van Duyn is our Senior Client Service Specialist and the person most clients work with day-to-day on operations, transfers, and account servicing. We’re intentionally a small team so that the family who hires us actually gets us — not a rotating bench of junior associates.
Why is the firm based in Goodyear instead of Phoenix or Scottsdale?
Justin lives in the West Valley, and the West Valley is where the demand is. Goodyear, Buckeye, and the surrounding communities are some of the fastest-growing in the country, and most of those families don’t want to drive an hour into Camelback or Old Town for a planning meeting. Being in Goodyear means we’re 10 minutes from most of our clients — and we know the local context, from PebbleCreek HOA dynamics to the property tax math on a Verrado new build.
What credentials does the team actually hold?
Justin holds the CFP® (CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™) and CEPA® (Certified Exit Planning Advisor) designations. The CFP® is the recognized fiduciary planning standard; the CEPA® is the credential most relevant for the business owners we serve who are planning a sale or transition. Credentials don’t make a planner — but they’re a baseline of training and ethics commitments we think you should expect from anyone you trust with your retirement.
Are you really independent, or owned by a larger firm?
We’re independent and not owned by, or captive of, an insurance company, a wirehouse, or a bank. Our custodian provides institutional-grade account access, reporting, and safekeeping. Dominion advises; the custodian holds.
How are you paid, and how much does this cost?
We’re fee-based. The most common arrangement is a transparent percentage of assets we manage for you, billed quarterly, with the rate disclosed in writing before you sign anything. For some planning-only or business-exit engagements we use a flat or project fee instead. Any fees or compensation arrangements are disclosed in advance, and the firm does not receive undisclosed compensation from product providers.
What’s the Dominion Wealth Architecture I keep seeing on the site?
It’s our planning framework, and it has three phases: Design with Intention (clarify what you actually want this money to do), Build with Wisdom (construct the tax, investment, retirement, and estate strategy to get there), and Steward with Purpose (review, adjust, and protect it as life changes). Most firms hand you a binder; we hand you a process you can see yourself inside of.
