Justin Allen is a Financial Advisor with SageSpring Wealth Partners, where he helps individuals, families, and business owners make confident financial decisions through comprehensive planning and investment management. Justin believes financial advice should be understandable. Rather than relying on jargon or complicated strategies, he takes the time to educate clients on how their financial lives fit together—from investing and retirement planning to taxes, insurance, estate planning, and income distribution. His goal is for every client to understand not only what they're doing, but why they're doing it. As an independent, fee-based advisor, Justin works as a fiduciary, building investment portfolios and financial plans tailored to each client's unique goals. He believes that good financial planning extends well beyond investment performance. Coordinating taxes, retirement income, risk management, healthcare decisions, estate planning, and behavioral coaching are all critical pieces of helping clients achieve long-term financial success. Justin serves clients throughout Texas and across the country. He has a particular passion for helping retirees, pre-retirees, professionals, and business owners navigate life's biggest financial decisions with clarity and confidence. Outside of the office, Justin enjoys spending time with his wife, Abbie, golfing, hunting, fishing, and exploring the outdoors.

I have a passion and talent for translating concepts of personal finance and investing into everyday common English that even my children understand. I have been fortunate to live out that passion for the last 12 years, but now I'm looking to combine it with a personal, concierge level of service. I just began my my own practice at the beginning of 2020, By limiting the number of clients I serve, I can deliver world-class financial advice and still have time remaining to spend with my wife, three children, mother, and three pets. I hold both the CFP® and AIF® designations along with a bachelor's degree in journalism.

I'm a fiduciary, fee-only financial planner and advisor who founded Fruit of the Vine Financial in 2023 after having worked at two other financial firms. I offer service in three main areas: - comprehensive financial planning to first help people better understand their current financial circumstances and second to provide them an optimal route to meet their financial needs and reach their financial goals, - investment management, providing a choice between general investing and Biblically Responsible Investing (BRI), which is a way to invest in funds that more closely align with Christian principles, - help with setting up business retirement plans and/or serving as a fiduciary advisor to 401(k) plans. Because I'm always trying to improve how I can help my clients navigate their financial lives, I obtained several advanced certifications. I earned the Certified Financial Planner® (CFP®) certification and Retirement Income Certified Professional® (RICP®) designation following programs at The American College of Financial Services. And the Certified Investment Management Analyst® (CIMA®) certification followed from a program through the Yale School of Management. Outside of work, I enjoy kayaking, Bible study, playing my violin, and spending time with my three grown children and with friends. Not only do I have the financial education and professional experience, I also bring the knowledge gained from personal financial experience. From sorting all the finances after the death of a spouse, to helping kids through college, to riding the roller coaster of a major recession, and to starting and running a business, I understand the highs and lows that sometimes accompany the numbers. It helps to partner with a financial professional who's been there and can help you through the ups and downs of your life's journey.
