Spencer Lambright works with business owners, executives, and other high net worth individuals who want a thoughtful, analytical partner to help them navigate complex financial decisions. Before becoming a wealth advisor, Spencer taught courses Yale University, Cornell University, and was a professor at Middle Tennessee State University. That academic experience continues to shape his approach today—he believes in clear thinking, rigorous analysis, and explaining sophisticated strategies in a way that actually makes sense.
He sees a person’s financial life as one connected system—your business, taxes, estate goals, and family priorities all influence each other. His planning process brings these pieces together into a strategy that fits each client’s goals and values. His work often includes:
Business exit and transition planning
Tax‑efficient wealth building strategies
Concentrated stock and restricted equity strategies
Lending solutions for both personal and business needs from Bank of America
Estate and legacy planning services
Nothing is one‑size‑fits‑all. Every plan is built around what matters most to the client sitting across from him.
A Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA®) professional, Spencer focuses on the financial complexities business owners face when preparing for and navigating a sale.
Personal Background
Originally from Eugene, Oregon, Spencer has called Nashville home for two decades and is active in his church and his daughter’s school community.
Outside of work, Spencer enjoys running marathons slowly and spending as much time outdoors as possible, whether on a hiking trail, in a state park, sitting in a tree stand, or anywhere he can be outside.
