JILL D. HOLLANDER

…as Managing Partner

Jill believes financial planning is one of the few professions that can have a positive impact on an individual and their family. She is especially happy when clients are confident and optimistic about their finances because we’ve helped them get organized, identify their current and future goals, and execute the steps to reach those goals.

Jill’s greatest satisfaction occurs when a client says, “Thank you – you’ve really helped!”
