Welcome to Next Up Wealth Advisors
For many years, Brightscape Investment Centers served as a trusted guide to families, business owners, and retirees navigating important financial decisions. The relationships built there were rooted in thoughtful advice, personal connection, and an unwavering commitment to doing what was best for each client.
At the heart of that experience was Eric Weiss.
Eric was more than a financial advisor—he was a trusted counselor, a mentor, and a steady presence in the lives of the clients he served. His wisdom, integrity, and genuine care left a lasting impact on everyone who had the privilege of working with him.
Following Eric’s passing, we were reminded just how meaningful those relationships were. We were also reminded of the responsibility we share to continue the work he cared about so deeply.
Today, we are honored to introduce Next Up Wealth Advisors, LLC.
A New Name. The Same Commitment.
Next Up Wealth Advisors was founded to provide continuity for the clients who placed their trust in Brightscape, while creating a modern, independent firm built around personalized planning, disciplined investment management, and long-term relationships.
Although our name is new, our commitment remains unchanged:
To listen carefully
To provide thoughtful, objective advice
To act with integrity
To help clients move forward with confidence
“Next Up” reflects an optimistic view of the future. Whatever stage of life comes next—retirement, a business transition, the loss of a loved one, or a new opportunity—we are here to help you navigate it with clarity and purpose.
Meet the Team
Amanda Wray
Following the passing of Eric Weiss, Amanda stepped into a leadership role during one of the most challenging periods in Brightscape Investment Centers's history. She assumed responsibility for guiding clients through the transition, maintaining continuity of service, and overseeing the complex operational and regulatory work required to wind down the firm thoughtfully and professionally.
Throughout this period, Amanda remained focused on what mattered most: preserving client relationships, protecting their interests, and ensuring that every decision was handled with care and integrity.
The experience reinforced Amanda’s commitment to creating an independent firm built on stability, trust, and deeply personal advice. Through Next Up Wealth Advisors, LLC, she continues the values that clients came to appreciate while building a firm designed to serve them for decades to come.
Ken Turner
Ken brings a practical, relationship-driven approach to financial planning and investment management. He is dedicated to understanding each client’s goals and developing strategies tailored to their unique circumstances.
Together, Amanda and Ken share a common philosophy: financial advice should be personal, objective, and rooted in trust.
Honoring Eric’s Legacy
Eric built relationships that extended far beyond portfolios and performance reports. He knew his clients personally, understood what mattered most to them, and approached every interaction with sincerity and care.
We are deeply grateful for the example he set.
As we move forward, we do so with tremendous respect for the foundation he created and with a commitment to preserving the values that defined his work.
Looking Ahead
The launch of Next Up Wealth Advisors marks both a continuation and a new beginning.
Our independent structure allows us to focus entirely on serving our clients with transparency, flexibility, and personalized attention. We are investing in technology, planning tools, and resources designed to enhance the client experience while maintaining the high-touch service our clients have always valued.
Most importantly, our mission remains simple: to help you make informed financial decisions and feel confident about what comes next.
