Dr. Gwennetta Wright has built a legacy rooted in integrity, excellence, and service. A nationally recognized tax expert, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, she is the visionary behind the eight-figure brands Xpert Tax Service and Xpert Business Solution. With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Wright has become a trusted leader in the finance industry, training hundreds of professionals on how to build compliant, scalable tax firms that operate with both precision and purpose.
Her journey to success began with a mindset built on three core principles: excellence, education, and execution.
“From the very beginning, I didn’t want to just do taxes, I wanted to master the business,” she said. “If I was going to succeed long-term, especially in a regulated industry, I had to do things the right way even when nobody was watching.” That commitment to diligence and integrity paid off. Despite operating in one of the most closely monitored industries, Dr. Wright’s firm has never received an IRS fine. “I treated clients like people I was responsible for educating and protecting. That level of care is what elevated me from a startup to an industry leader.”
As someone who has trained hundreds of entrepreneurs, Dr. Wright has seen firsthand where many new business owners go wrong.
“One of the biggest mistakes new tax professionals make is trying to scale before setting up systems,” she explained. “They jump into getting clients before they know how to run the business. That’s a setup for burnout—and for audits. The way to avoid that is to slow down and get educated. Invest in training, understand compliance, and document everything.”
Over the years, Xpert Tax Service has helped more than 30,000 taxpayers nationwide. Through that experience, Dr. Wright has seen that financial success often begins with mindset and discipline.
“People who thrive financially usually have a plan. They budget, they track their spending, and they build credit and assets intentionally,” she said. “Those who struggle tend to avoid looking at their finances altogether. But ignoring your money keeps you stuck. Thriving financially starts with awareness—you can’t fix what you won’t face.”
Beyond business, Dr. Wright’s impact is also deeply felt through her philanthropy. She is the founder of the nonprofit Reach 4 Your Dreamz, an organization dedicated to empowering families and youth through education and community support. “Purpose is at the core of everything I do,” she said. “Business is just the vehicle. The mission is to impact lives. Whether I’m mentoring youth, feeding families, or helping someone turn their idea into income, I know I’m walking in purpose.” Her humanitarian efforts have earned her prestigious honors, including the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award and the Global Humanitarian Award.
For Dr. Wright, credibility is the cornerstone of success in a regulated industry. “People trust you with their most sensitive information. Your credibility is built one action at a time,” she said. “Show up consistently. Be honest. Educate your clients instead of just selling to them. And protect their information like it’s your own.”
When it comes to empowering women, especially women of color, Dr. Wright’s message is powerful and direct. “Don’t play small to make others comfortable. Learn the business side of your business. Know your worth. Get into rooms where people are talking about money, not gossip. And don’t wait for permission—move when God gives you the vision,” she said. “We’ve been conditioned to survive, but it’s time to thrive. Wealth isn’t just money, it’s ownership, freedom, and giving your children options.”
Even with today’s uncertain economy, Dr. Wright believes that anyone can start building financial freedom with small, consistent steps. “Start with what’s in your hands. You don’t need thousands of dollars—you need a plan, discipline, and education. Cut unnecessary spending, save what you can, and organize your finances,” she advised. “Financial freedom is a series of small steps, not one big leap. You just have to be willing to start.”
For Dr. Wright, the key to breaking generational cycles of poverty lies in financial literacy. “When you know better, you do better,” she said. “Poverty is passed down through habits, not just income. We can’t change our family history, but we can change what we teach the next generation.” She encourages people to take advantage of free resources, books, and educational content to learn how money works. “You’ve got to stop saying ‘I was never taught that’ and start saying ‘I’m ready to learn that.’ That’s how transformation begins.”
Dr. Gwennetta Wright continues to redefine what leadership looks like in finance and philanthropy. Her story is not just one of success—it’s one of service, strategy, and a steadfast belief that with faith and focus, financial freedom is within everyone’s reach.
