Eli Wynes, AIF®

Partner | Wealth Advisor

Hard-working. Goal-oriented. Decisive. The same qualities that make Eli one of *BARRON’S Top Advisors & *FORBES Next Generation and Best in State Advisors serve him well as United Iowa Financial’s Chief Financial Officer, where he helped establish a collaborative workplace culture seldom found in the industry.

As CFO, Eli works to ensure the financial commitment made to staff, clients, and our communities remain strong and progressive both today and for years to come.  In an ever-changing industry landscape, Eli uses his education in Economics and International Business to maintain a strong platform for United Iowa Financial advisors to offer exceptional, consistent service to clients and our community partners. 

Eli’s single greatest priority is making sure every United Iowa Financial client has a trusted financial partner who can help them confidently navigate the unknowns in life. Whether he is personally advising clients—his favorite part of the job—or assisting the team, Eli values decision-making that incorporates not only numbers but the human element.

A natural-born leader, Eli has spent more than a decade coaching youth and high school sports. This experience has been especially valuable in allowing Eli to better understand the goals and challenges his clients face, helping him to carry on the title of “coach” in his professional life.
