I started Joint Financial after moving back to New Jersey from Colorado. During my time out west, I noticed how many people had interests outside of their work, which inspired me to help others become work-optional and pursue their own personal interests and passions. My work focuses on helping clients build a tax-efficient roadmap to financial independence before age 65. This includes retirement projections, long-term tax planning, asset withdrawal strategies, investment management, equity compensation, and insurance/estate review. In my free time, I am likely working on my golf game, or if the weather won't cooperate, thinking about playing golf. All jokes aside, I love to exercise, read, ski, and cook when I am not golfing, or thinking about golfing!

I’m Paul Cipriano, the founder of Cipriano Wealth Management. I decided to launch Cipriano Wealth Management as a fee-only, independent registered investment advisor to eliminate the inherent conflicts of interest that investors are often forced to accept when engaging with a financial advisor. I offer comprehensive financial planning under a monthly subscription service. I also combine financial planning with ongoing investment management services and charge fees based on the value of the assets managed (AUM). I prioritize the development of your unique comprehensive financial plan as the foundation of our relationship. I am not singularly focused on gathering assets and refrain from managing investment portfolios unless we have developed a strategic plan for your assets. I worked on the trading desks at several large global investment banks for over 20 years where I was responsible for advising hedge funds and asset managers on portfolio management, investment strategy and market risk. I combine that experience with my training as a CFP® professional to help middle- and high-income families from working class backgrounds achieve their personal financial goals.
