Hi there! I'm Jenna VanLeeuwen, a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional and founder of Aligning Wealth. We guide purpose-driven people through life's most consequential transitions — retirement, career pivots, business exits, and major liquidity events — translating financial success into the lives our clients actually want to live. Our work integrates comprehensive financial planning and tax-efficient investment management under one roof. That means your portfolio isn't managed in isolation from the rest of your financial life — asset location, tax planning, retirement income strategy, and your long-term goals all inform how your investments are structured and managed. For many of our clients, this looks like maximizing tax advantages, building sophisticated retirement income strategies, and managing investments aligned to their full financial picture. For others, it means expert guidance through business exits, liquidity events, or legacy planning. Most importantly, our partnership empowers you to step into the next chapter with confidence and clarity, building on the same vision and values that have carried you this far. Let's build something meaningful together, starting with a complimentary 45-minute introductory call. Visit www.aligningwealth.com to schedule.

I'm Hazel Secco, CFP®, CDFA®, founder of Align Financial Solutions, a fiduciary wealth management firm in Hoboken, NJ. I work with high-net-worth women in leadership roles who have built significant wealth and want a financial partner who understands that wealth is about more than investment returns. Most of my clients are navigating equity compensation, pension and deferred compensation elections, a significant portfolio, and a tax picture that no longer fits on one page, and they want retirement, investments, tax, and estate handled as one coordinated plan, explained without jargon. My approach is collaborative, practical, and rooted in education. I believe financial planning should help you make informed decisions with confidence, not leave you feeling intimidated or confused. Whether we’re discussing stock options, retirement income, or tax strategies, my goal is to explain complex concepts in plain English so you always understand the “why” behind our recommendations. Before becoming a financial planner, I experienced firsthand how uncertainty around money can shape the way we think and make decisions. That perspective continues to influence how I work today. I know every client brings a unique story, values, and goals, which is why I believe the best financial plans are built around people, not products. When I’m not working with clients, you’ll usually find me spending time with my husband and our two daughters, recording educational content, or speaking to help more women feel confident taking control of their financial future.
