Four partners. Equal say. One table.

Bob is a founding partner of Veritas and sets the firm's direction, from how it serves clients to how it grows and where it invests. In client work he holds the whole picture: what someone is ultimately trying to build, and whether every piece of the plan is actually pulling toward it. The specialists go deep in their lanes. His job is making sure the lanes lead somewhere together.

He entered the industry in 2010 and has held leadership roles at several advisory firms since. He works most often with business owners and families whose finances have outgrown the structure around them, where the goal is reducing what gets paid in tax, protecting what has been built, and moving it intact to the next generation.

Bob earned his degree in business administration from the University of Florida, holds the CLU designation from The American College, and has lived in Hoover since 2008 with his wife Jen and their three children, Bobby, Evie, and Jax. The family is active at Hunter Street Baptist Church and in local youth sports. Bob has served the Hope for Autumn Foundation since 2020 and is its treasurer. The foundation helps Alabama families carrying the cost of childhood cancer, covering rent, utilities, and medical bills while their child is treated at Children's of Alabama, and funds research into the cancers that have proven hardest to treat. Outside the office he trains, works with wood, and is usually at one of his kids' games.

Matt leads the firm's business tax planning and its most complex case work. When an owner's income has outgrown the structure around it, he is the one who builds the answer, and the answers he builds tend to be less obvious and more durable than the ones off the shelf.

Sixteen years in, most of his work still arrives by referral, which is what tends to happen when clients come away confident that a recommendation was made because it was right rather than because it was available.

Matt earned a degree in business management from the University of Montevallo and served as a managing director at a national firm before co-founding Veritas, where he shaped much of the structure the firm still runs on. He and his wife Katy are raising three daughters, Mattilee, Ivey Kate, and McKinley, and open their home to foster children needing temporary care. A devoted follower of Christ, he aims to live out the command to love God and love his neighbor. When he is not working he is on a golf course, on a ski slope, or at the beach with his family.

Trent leads investment management at Veritas: portfolio construction, account location, and the discipline of staying with a strategy through the stretches when it is uncomfortable.

His view is that most portfolio damage is self-inflicted and preventable, and that the advisor's real job during a bad market is to be reachable and unexcited. Twenty years in, he still builds each plan from the client's actual goals rather than from a model, and he is happy to argue with anyone about the difference.

Trent earned a degree in finance with a concentration in investment management from the University of Alabama, and holds the CLU and RICP designations from The American College. He and his wife Ashley have two daughters, Caroline and Catelyn, and a dog named Maggie. He plays bass and drums, rarely misses an Alabama football game, and has followed the Boston Red Sox longer than is strictly advisable.

Stewart leads business development and is the firm's specialist in alternative investments, the assets that sit outside a conventional portfolio, where the diligence matters more and the shortcuts cost more.

He is usually the reason a first conversation happens, and he will tell you early if Veritas isn't the right fit for what you need. His working philosophy is that consistency beats occasional brilliance, which is a less exciting thing to say and a more reliable thing to do.

A Huntsville native, Stewart studied business administration at Auburn and has lived in Birmingham since 2012. He and his wife Anna Claire welcomed their first child, Bennett, this year, and are active at Redeemer Community Church. He is a long-time member and former president of the Phoenix Club of Birmingham, which raises money for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Central Alabama. Outside work he travels with Anna Claire, cooks, fishes, hunts, and watches an unreasonable amount of football.
