Dallas, TX, January 1, 2025 – Beaird Harris Wealth Management, LLC (“Beaird Harris”), a nationally recognized, fee-only Registered Investment Adviser (“RIA”) with nearly $2 billion in assets under management, is pleased to announce that Tai Chu, CFP®, has joined the firm’s team of Partners, effective December 31, 2024.
“We are thrilled to welcome Tai to the Partner Team,” said Pat Beaird, CPA, PFS, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Beaird Harris. “His addition represents our commitment to remaining independent and continuing to build a foundation for serving clients for generations to come. Tai embodies Beaird Harris’ values through his dedication to excellence, integrity, and client-centered service.”
Tai’s journey to becoming a financial advisor is both personal and inspiring. As a first-generation immigrant, Tai discovered his passion for financial planning in college when attending a meeting between his parents and their financial advisor. Acting as a translator for his parents, Tai was moved by how the advisor treated his family with genuine care and respect—a moment that left a lasting impression and sparked Tai’s commitment to helping others navigate their financial journeys. Today, Tai brings that same level of care to our clients, treating them as if they were members of his own family.
Tai joined Beaird Harris in April 2023, bringing nearly two decades of experience from one of the largest financial services firms in the country, Fidelity Investments. A Certified Financial Planner™ professional, Tai holds a Bachelor of Business Administration and a Master of Business Administration in Finance from the University of North Texas.
Tai’s expertise spans investment management, financial planning, risk management, and estate planning. “Tai’s exceptional ability to simplify complex financial concepts and his personal approach to client relationships make him an invaluable addition to our Partner Team,” said Steve Lugar, CFP®, Managing Director of Beaird Harris. “His experience and thoughtful guidance allow him to serve as a trusted advisor, helping clients build financial confidence and clarity.”
