Rooted in the mountains, focused on your future.
WELCOME TO HIGH COUNTRY WEALTHIn the high country, perspective changes. The air is clearer, the noise fades, and what matters most comes into focus.
At High Country Wealth, we bring that same perspective to financial planning. In a world filled with market noise, headlines, and trendy strategies, we focus on what truly stands the test of time—simple principles, thoughtful planning, and disciplined execution.
Our approach is built around real life, not speculation. We help clients make practical financial decisions that are intended to support their families, their businesses, and the legacy they want to build for the future. Many of our clients are builders in their own right— real estate professionals, medical professionals, and hardworking entrepreneurs who have spent years creating something meaningful. Our role is to help protect and align what they've built over time and position it for the next generation.
Above the noise. Above the trends. Focused on a disciplined and thoughtful approach.
FOUNDER | ADVISORMeet Anthony
From the mountains of Southwest Virginia to the rolling hills of East Tennessee, Anthony Bentley’s deep Appalachian roots have grounded him with a love for this area and the people around him.
After years of experience as a financial advisor, Anthony made the decision to branch out and found High Country Wealth. His firm is centered on practical planning, personal relationships, and peak perspective for long-term results. High Country Wealth is deeply committed to working with each client and supporting them as they build strong financial foundations for their families and their futures. Anthony began his career in banking and quickly discovered that his financial prowess, and practical application, was a way to help his customers achieve their goals. That passion led him into the financial services industry, where he focused on building personal relationships, and guiding clients toward achieving their financial goals as they navigate financial decisions over time.
Growing up in Wise, Virginia, Anthony spent most of his time outdoors. The same is true today where he and his wife, Annie, and their dog, Dixie, reside on their farm in Fall Branch, Tennessee. You will often find Anthony on a long walk across the fields, into the woods, and up into the hills, enjoying the view from the top of the mountains, a habit that was inspiration for the name, High Country Wealth.
Director of OperationsMeet Ashley
Born and raised in East Tennessee, Ashley Anderson has a strong appreciation for the people and the beautiful country she lives in. Her career began in real estate and office management, helping others find their homes and futures in an area she loves. At the suggestion of a mutual friend, Ashley joined Anthony’s team in February of 2024 and now continues to assist Anthony in helping those in the region prepare for their futures through financial planning.
Ashley’s back-office organization, planning, and general management of day-to-day operations have been an important part of the foundation of High Country Wealth, and help support the company’s ability to operate and adapt over time. She takes pride in helping create structure that supports Anthony and his clients, helping meetings run efficiently and providing opportunities to develop both business and interpersonal relationships. She plays a key role in the day-to-day operations of the firm.
Out of the office, you’ll find Ashley simplifying the lives of those she loves. She manages her home with her husband Derek, and you’ll often find the two of them working on fixer upper projects, traveling, enjoying all things country music, cheering on the Tennessee Volunteers, and loving on their two poodles, Remy and Finn. Ashley finds such joy in her life in East Tennessee, and she shares that joy in her home, and with everyone associated with High Country Wealth.

Kim, Real Estate Professional
“My husband and I have been working with Anthony and Ashley for the last few years and cannot say enough wonderful things about them. They are extremely knowledgeable, supportive, and trustworthy. Anthony has been an amazing advisor. He has been so attentive and supportive helping us navigate challenging decisions as local small business owners. Anthony is a cherished friend to us, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for an honest, experienced advisor.”
Charles & Heather, Business Owners
“Working with Anthony Bentley this past year has made such a huge difference for us. As owners of a small business, we were honestly nervous about taking the step to work with a financial advisor. Anthony was incredibly patient while we took the time to decide what was best for our family. He never made us feel pressured and was always willing to answer every question thoroughly.
One of the biggest things that stands out about Anthony is how responsive he is. Anytime we have questions or need guidance, he’s quick to respond and always takes the time to explain things in a way that makes sense. Since working with him, we finally feel like our money is working for us instead of just sitting there. Having a clear financial plan in place has brought us so much peace of mind. We’re so thankful for his guidance and would highly recommend him to anyone considering working with a financial advisor.”
