Hey! I'm Jake, Financial Planner and co-founder of Spark Wealth Advisors. I started Spark to deliver financial advice the best way I know how, free from constraints and biases that come with working for large corporate firms. As a gay man, I strive to enhance the financial lives of other gay men who may be hesitant to work with a financial professional out of fear of judgement, or not being comfortable sharing aspects of their personal lives that true financial planning requires. My firm is fee-only and I act as a fiduciary, always putting clients' interests before my own.

Do you plan to make work optional before age 65? I will use my tools and expertise to educate and empower you to be your own retirement hero, rather than try to convince you that you need to pay me or any other advisor year after year. While I provide investment advice, I do not offer ongoing portfolio management as a service and my only objective is to give you the best advice possible. My planning engagements typically consist of three to four meetings and span one to three months. We will work together to create a detailed plan for early retirement that doesn't ignore what you need to feel fulfilled in the present. You will be given free ongoing access to my planning software upon completion of our engagement and I will teach you how to navigate it. Visit my website today to learn more and don't forget when you are there to sign up to receive my free guide, The Top 10 Critical Mistakes People Make When They Plan To Retire Early.
