EP Wealth Acquires $218 Million Firm Clearview

By Amit Chowdhry • Dec 17, 2025

EP Wealth Advisors has acquired Clearview Wealth Advisors, a planning-focused registered investment advisory firm serving clients across the Pacific Northwest and the Phoenix metropolitan area, as EP Wealth continues expanding its national footprint through strategic partnerships. EP Wealth said the deal adds nearly $218 million in assets under management and brings the Clearview team into EP Wealth’s Phoenix region, where it will gain access to expanded planning, tax, and investment resources.

Clearview Wealth Advisors is led by the father-son team of Michael and Corbin Coursey. EP Wealth said the Courseys recently relocated to Phoenix to deepen their ability to serve a growing and diverse client base in the market, and that joining EP Wealth will allow them to maintain a relationship-driven approach while drawing on broader specialist capabilities.

The Clearview team will integrate into EP Wealth’s Phoenix region under Regional Directors M.J. Nodilo and Adrian Larson, joining an advisory group focused on long-term client relationships and service. EP Wealth said the transaction reflects its strategy of combining local advisory continuity with additional platform support to deliver more comprehensive client solutions.

EP Wealth noted that the Clearview acquisition represents its ninth strategic partnership of 2025. Financial and legal terms were not disclosed.

EP Wealth is a fee-only registered investment advisor with more than 61 offices across 22 states. The firm said it managed over $40.5 billion in assets as of September 30, 2025, and is financially supported by Berkshire Partners and Ares Management.

“As our clients’ financial needs grew more layered, we saw the value in having more specialists support the planning work we do,” said Michael. “Partnering with EP lets us bring added expertise and capabilities to the table while preserving the level of attention and care that has always defined our approach. It’s the best of both worlds.”
