Meet the Team

For decades, we've been working with individuals, families, and business owners from our home in Sandy Springs, Georgia, and now have a reach that extends across most of the country. It's a city that holds an interesting contrast of its own: corporate intensity on one side and natural riverfront greenspace on the other. We've always felt at home in that kind of middle ground.

Built for the Full Picture

The traditional financial advisory landscape tends to separate insurance and protection from investments and wealth management, treating them as different conversations handled by different firms. As part of Equitable Advisors, we operate at the intersection of both. Drawing on LPL Financial's open-architecture investment platform alongside Equitable’s direct risk management capabilities, we bring wealth management, legacy planning, insurance, retirement income strategies, and more under one roof and through a single team.

The Why

Before Kirk had a daughter of his own, he was already driven by the same instinct that would define his career, a genuine desire to make a difference for the people who came next. He carried that with him from the start, even when the next generation was still an abstract idea. When his daughter came into his life, she gave a face to something he had always felt. Kirk describes that as his why. The possibility that the planning done today could still be shaping a family's life long after everyone in the room is gone sits at the center of every decision he makes, and it shapes the standard we all hold ourselves to.

Kirk Welcome believes financial planning matters most when it provides clarity and confidence during life’s most important moments. That belief was shaped early in his career when a close friend passed away unexpectedly, leaving behind a young family he had taken steps to protect. Seeing firsthand how thoughtful planning could ease uncertainty reinforced Kirk’s commitment to helping families safeguard their futures and build lasting financial security. 

With over 25 years of experience, Kirk takes a comprehensive, relationship‑driven approach to wealth management for high‑net‑worth individuals, multigenerational families, and business owners. As a Financial Professional with Equitable Advisors, he provides objective guidance across investment planning, insurance protection, legacy strategies, and long‑term wealth transition, while coordinating closely with tax, legal, and estate professionals. In recent years, Kirk refined his practice to focus on a select group of clients, allowing for a highly personal, white‑glove level of service in complex financial situations. 

Born in British Guyana and raised in Brooklyn, Kirk built his practice across New York and Florida and continues to serve clients nationwide. Outside of work, he is passionate about fitness, travel, vintage films, and 90s reggae and R&B. He is actively involved in community and nonprofit work and values time most with his wife, daughter, and family. 

For those seeking a long‑term advisor who brings consistency, strategy, and perspective to an increasingly complex financial life, Kirk Welcome welcomes the opportunity to connect.
