Your Financial Pharmacist was started in 2015 with a primary mission to help pharmacy professionals on their path towards achieving financial freedom. Through his experience of paying off $200,000 in debt, Tim Ulbrich, PharmD (YFP CEO) quickly learned that many pharmacists were struggling with mounds of student loan debt and a feeling of being overwhelmed and living paycheck-to-paycheck despite having a six-figure income. This led him to create the Your Financial Pharmacist blog in 2015 to encourage a community of pharmacists and pharmacy students to live a life free of financial stressors. In 2017, Tim teamed up with Tim Church PharmD (YFP CMO), to co-author Seven Figure Pharmacist: How to Maximize Your Income, Eliminate Debt and Create Wealth and he then eventually joined the team. Around that time, Tim Ulbrich met Tim Baker, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (YFP COO...that's me!), who had been serving pharmacists by providing fee-only financial planning services. Together they created the Your Financial Pharmacist Podcast in July 2017, which now has over a quarter-million downloads. In 2019, all three Tims joined forces merging the blog, podcast, book and financial planning firm under the Your Financial Pharmacist brand. The Tims also speak to pharmacy school and organization across the country and YFP is a strategic partner with the American Pharmacists Association (APhA).

Hi, I’m Jared Andreoli, CFP®, CSLP®, and I launched Simplicity Financial in 2017. As a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) and a Certified Student Loan Planner (CSLP®), I work with Physicians, Fellows, and residents to develop a financial road map to achieve their financial goals. Whether it be buying a house, paying off student loans, planning for retirement, or planning for a growing family, we work with clients to identify their financial picture and create a plan that aligns with their values. I have been interested in finances ever since I can remember, from being excited about a coin sorter as an 8 year old, to hiding my birthday money in the front cover of my Harry Potter book. In fact, one year, my favorite birthday gift was a book titled The Kids’ Money Book, and it still holds a special place on my bookshelf. Even as a child, I quickly realized that if I diligently managed my money, I could do even more things with this key tool. Another passion of mine has always been helping people achieve success by connecting on a personal level. To me, there is no better feeling than the joy I experience when I have helped someone, whether it be big or small. So, it comes as no surprise that financial planning was an obvious fit for me. After completing a college baseball career and graduating from Western Kentucky University with a finance major with a concentration in financial planning, I spent 6 years working as a mutual fund administrator for a large company. While I learned an immense amount about the financial world, I was missing the personal connection of working with individual clients that I could not find in the corporate world. In 2017, I put my aspirations into action and established Simplicity Financial.
