I am committed to supporting individuals through life’s transitions—whether it’s a career shift, divorce, loss of a loved one, inheritance, or other major life events. Change can be overwhelming, and my mission is to help clients move through it with confidence, security, and a clear plan for what comes next. With a holistic and compassionate approach, I help simplify complex financial decisions—addressing everything from budgeting and cash flow to tax considerations, investment strategy, and estate planning. Each plan is personalized to reflect your goals, values, and unique circumstances. Since beginning my career in 2006, I’ve worked across wealth management, employee benefits, and financial education. Over the years, I’ve seen how empowering it can be when people gain control and understanding over their finances—especially during uncertain times. I’m particularly passionate about working with Solo Agers and women navigating life transitions. Having rebuilt my own financial foundation after becoming a single mom in 2010, I understand firsthand the challenges and opportunities that come with starting over. Through persistence and smart financial choices, I achieved one of my proudest milestones—purchasing my own condo in 2021. I am based in the San Francisco Bay Area and work with clients all across the country. In my spare time, I enjoy nature walks, biking, learning about health and nutrition, painting, sewing, and spending time with my daughter and our two rescue cats, Turbo and Tyson. If you're ready to embark on your financial journey with a trusted partner by your side, I invite you to schedule a complimentary consultation with me at https://calendly.com/jenniferbush-iwp/intro-call. Together, we'll navigate life's financial transitions with confidence and purpose.
