Financial Advisor

Joseph "Joey" Maddux, CFP®

Uniquely within the firm, Joey wears two hats — CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER on the wealth side, Tax Manager on the Cooper Norman CPA side. He sits on both sides of the conversation in the same meeting.

Joseph 'Joey' Maddux, CFP® — Financial Advisor at Cooper Norman Wealth in Idaho Falls.
Background

Both sides of the conversation, in the same meeting.

Joey is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER (CFP®) on the wealth side and a Tax Manager at the parent CPA firm. That dual posture is unusual — and intentional.

Joseph "Joey" Maddux Jr. is a Financial Advisor at Cooper Norman Wealth. He holds the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER (CFP®) designation along with the Series 66 securities license, and is licensed across Colorado, Idaho, and Utah.

Uniquely within the firm, Joey also wears a second hat as a Tax Manager at Cooper Norman, PLLC — the parent CPA firm. That dual posture is unusual, and intentional: it lets him sit on both sides of the wealth-and-tax conversation in the same client meeting, instead of relaying decisions across firm boundaries that often slow Idaho business owners down.

His client work centers on retirement-plan design for business owners — SEP-IRAs, solo 401(k)s, cash-balance plans, and pension consulting — alongside discretionary and non-discretionary portfolio management and financial planning that's tightly coordinated with the tax filings already happening in-house at Cooper Norman.

Joey studied at Brigham Young University–Idaho and Boise State University. He is based in the firm's Idaho Falls office on Riverwalk Drive.
