Your Integrated Partner & Advocate
Empowering you to build boldly, grow intentionally,
and create YOUR IDEAL.
From our Founder
I am Kori Manus, entrepreneur, wife, mother of two daughters and founder of Ideal Wealth Partners. I’ve dedicated the past 25 years to guiding business owners, entrepreneurs, professional and collegiate (NIL) athletes, and high-net-worth individuals and families toward their ideal lifestyle and long-term success.
As the Founder of Ideal Wealth Partners and co-owner of multiple companies, including a tax planning firm, I understand firsthand what it takes to build, grow, and scale a business while balancing family, career, and community. My journey has been deeply rooted in entrepreneurship, both personally and professionally, and that perspective allows me to connect with my clients on a level that goes beyond numbers.
At Ideal Wealth Partners, my mission is simple: to help clients design a life and legacy on their terms. I believe that wealth is not just about accumulating assets—it’s about aligning personal and business goals, creating enterprise value, and building a lifestyle that reflects your vision for the future.
My values are centered on building long-lasting relationships, creating clarity and confidence for my clients, and making a meaningful impact on my community. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside clients through every stage of their journey—from launching their businesses, to growing and scaling, to transitioning into new chapters of life.
At the heart of it all, I see wealth as a tool: a way to create freedom, opportunity, and impact. With Ideal Wealth Partners, my goal is to empower every client we work with to unlock that potential for themselves, their families, and their communities.
