Chris Countryman joined Northwest Wealth Management in 2026 as a Wealth Advisor, bringing more than 20 years of experience in the financial services industry. Prior to joining Northwest, he owned and operated Countryman Financial Group in Moville, Iowa, where he built a successful practice centered on personalized service and lasting relationships with individuals, families, and business owners throughout the region.
Chris is a Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA®), a designation awarded by the Exit Planning Institute. This specialized training equips advisors to guide business owners through one of the most significant financial events of their lives: the transition or sale of a business. Drawing on his own experience as a former business owner, Chris provides practical insight into the factors that drive business value and helps owners develop strategies for a successful transition. He works closely with clients to align their business exit plans with their broader financial objectives, including retirement, wealth preservation, and legacy planning.
At Northwest Wealth Management, Chris continues to deliver the personalized, hometown service his clients have come to value, now supported by the extensive resources and expertise of a full-service community bank and wealth management team. In addition to his CEPA® designation and securities registrations, Chris holds licenses in life, health, property and casualty, and crop insurance.
A graduate of the University of Northern Iowa, Chris resides in the Moville area with his wife, Jodi. Together, they enjoy spending time with their four children and five grandchildren.
