At Ideal Wealth Partners, we believe in providing a better way for business owners, entrepreneurs, professional and collegiate NIL athletes, individuals and families to achieve more than success. After more than two decades of guiding clients, one truth has become clear: what we all seek is the freedom to create our ideal lifestyle.
Our team of seasoned experts brings cross-industry experience and a proven track record, guiding you from strategy through implementation with clarity and confidence. In today’s fast-paced, ever-changing world, we help you slow down, focus, and build strategies that not only grow your business, brand, and wealth, but also create meaningful experiences, lasting legacies, and the freedom to live life on your terms.
Whether you’re scaling a company, transitioning into new ventures, or building generational wealth, Ideal Wealth Partners is your trusted partner and advocate in creating an intentional future by design—not by default.

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.
