PrairieView Partners Joins Savant: A Conversation with Matt Weier
On Aug. 31, 2025, Savant Wealth Management welcomed PrairieView Partners, a St. Paul-based firm known for its CPA-led approach to tax and investment planning. This partnership expands Savant’s footprint into Minnesota and strengthens its ability to deliver comprehensive, client-focused financial advice.
PrairieView’s team brings a reputation for building strong relationships and delivering proactive strategies, expanding on the philosophy that aligns with Savant’s evidence-based approach. With 15 wealth management professionals and four tax specialists joining Savant, clients will continue working with familiar advisors while gaining access to additional resources, advanced technology, and a unified team committed to enhancing the client experience.
We reached out to Matt Weier, managing partner and financial advisor at the St. Paul office, to learn more about the firm’s founding philosophy, its growth, and how the recent partnership with Savant will help enhance client service.
Q: Can you share the experience that inspired you to start PrairieView?
PrairieView began with a simple vision: create a client-first culture where relationships and quality advice matter most. We wanted success to be measured by trust and impact, not just numbers. That philosophy guided every decision we made, from how we structured our services to how we built our team. Our goal was to provide advice that improves lives, and that remains our focus today.
Q: Looking back, what are you most proud of building?
We’ve grown our client base and evolved as a team, but we’ve never lost sight of our original vision. Maintaining that commitment while expanding has been our proudest achievement. We built a culture where collaboration thrives and where every team member feels invested in client success. We value building long-term relationships and strive to help families work toward their financial goals. Supporting clients on their journey to financial confidence is deeply rewarding for our team.
Q: How will this partnership with Savant enhance your ability to serve clients?
Joining Savant allows us to dedicate more time to client relationships while leveraging additional resources. We now have access to subject matter experts and advanced resources to support our planning process. Savant’s technology investments will help us deliver that advice to even more clients. For us, this means focusing on what we do best, which includes building relationships and providing thoughtful guidance, while leveraging Savant’s scale to offer more comprehensive solutions.
Q: What makes your team unique?
Our team has always taken a multidisciplinary approach, combining tax and investment planning from day one. Having an affiliated tax firm gives clients more robust planning and coordinated strategies. That integrated model sets us apart. We believe financial planning should never happen in silos, and our approach reflects that. Our team takes a holistic approach, coordinating strategies across multiple areas of clients’ financial lives.
Q: What excites you most about this next chapter?
Personally, I’m excited to be part of a larger team with expanded resources that complement the work we’ve done for years. Our team looks forward to specializing more, advancing careers, and adding new tools to support clients. Clients appreciate having multiple services under one roof, and now we can offer even more solutions. This partnership gives us the ability to scale our impact while staying true to our values.
This partnership provides continuity for clients while adding value through expanded expertise and technology. You’ll keep working with the same advisors, now supported by Savant’s scale and multidisciplinary expertise. This means greater emphasis on client relationships, access to a broader network of specialists, and planning approaches that consider evolving financial needs. Our commitment remains the same: to help clients pursue their goals with clarity and confidence.
