Nick Murphy

Nick graduated from Campbell University with a BBA and an MBA, then later earned an executive certificate in certified financial planning from Duke University. As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ practitioner, Nick has dedicated his professional career to helping individuals make wise, purposeful decisions with their wealth. He began his journey as a Financial Advisor in 2002 and in 2021 founded Counterweight Private Wealth, a wealth management firm specializing in retirement planning, tax planning, and investment management.

 

On the personal side, Nick and his family are longtime members of Cross Assembly in Raleigh, where they have served in many capacities throughout their tenure. In addition, Nick is a passionate supporter of the Raleigh Dream Center, a local Christian non-profit providing residential and community outreach programs to homeless, abused, and impoverished families in the Triangle. His service on their board since 2018 is another expression of his belief that faith should be lived in tangible ways—by serving others and spreading the hope of the Gospel.

 

Yet, any academic, professional, or personal accolade falls entirely short of his greatest role, that of a husband and a father. For Nick, being a husband to Dru and a father to Carter, Landon, and Ansley is not just a responsibility; it's a calling rooted deeply in his identity as a follower of Christ. He believes that his family is his first ministry, and that no amount of professional success can compare to the importance of leading his family with love, integrity, and faith. He’s quick to admit that he doesn’t always get it right and relies on God’s grace every day.
