100% recommend Jenny and her team!
I contacted Jenny on a personal recommendation of a friend, and have been very happy with the whole experience. I was trying to do the "right" things (saving), but really had no idea how best to invest this, and, what that would result in come retirement. Jenny laid it all out very clearly in a super comprehensive report. She even included alternate ways ahead for buying a house (or not) and how that would affect me along the way, and in the end.
I very much appreciate how Jenny translated strategy into very real and tangible actions and projected results, tailored to work with my existing investment company (Vanguard). We even screenshared and she walked me through, step by step, what to click.
In our mid-year review, she helped me start to think about will planning. Turns out she is also an estate planning expert!
Her recommendations always work with my existing resources, and are tailored for my situation. Nothing is dependent on using a certain service/company. And, it's all about what works for me making it super doable to actually execute. Thanks Jenny! With your help, I have a much clearer picture of what my financial readiness really is, now and in the future.

When my wife and I reached out to Jenny and her team, the most significant financial issue was planning on how to save for our first home. Jenny and her team helped us organize our finances and recommended how to increase our safety net while saving up for our first home. Her team is always available for any questions about an investment and is always open to my suggestions if I disagree with a recommendation.
Working with Jenny and her team impacted us beyond just finances but also how we view finances and economics, as well as an outlook on life. Jenny shares occasional newsletters talking about different topics from finances, economics and how to approach life. I found them educational to read and a great addition to an already rewarding collaboration. I would highly recommend her team to anybody looking for financial advice. Her videos and financial reports are invaluable.

I just met with Jackie today and the appointment was such a positive experience! I was a little apprehensive and uncertain about how to obtain quality advice regarding divorce assets. She was very familiar with the divorce and mediation process, tax liability on a variety of products, and there was absolutely no pressure to work with her in the future. She was able to explain concepts in a simple and direct way and her communication style helped me feel confident that I was in a good hands. When I'm ready for more planning, I hope to do it with Jackie!

I am a Chisholm Financial Planning client, and I have been so impressed with Jenny's professionalism and hands-on approach in helping me with my financial planning. Investing and planning for the future is a relatively new concept to me, and Jenny always makes me feel important and takes the time to answer even my most basic questions. It's nice to have someone so knowledgeable helping me navigate the world of finance and long-term planning strategies. Thank you Jenny!

Like Jenny, I am a fellow business owner. We have worked together on several financial strategies. I can definitely recommend the services at Guide My Finances to people who are interested in a full service financial planning shop that won't make you feel pressured to purchase anything and will provide straightforward financial advice. Full warning, she will be very honest about your financial situation and the potential outcomes you can expect (good and bad). I appreciated that type of honesty when I'm dealing with financial people, and it was a lot different than some other planners who would say anything to make me use their services. Jenny is hands on and hands down the most interactive FA I have used. This makes for a beautiful long term relationship!

My wife and I were pondering retirement in the next year and although we are fairly financially savvy, we realized that we needed some professional advise as there are so many factors to consider. We knew we wanted someone with a modern perspective on financial matters pertaining to retirement, not old school "buy annuities" or "invest in tax-free municipal bonds." Jenny seemed to fill the bill. We contacted Jenny and made an appointment. She sent us a financial planning workbook and asked us to gather some information for our meeting. When we met with Jenny we were instantly comfortable with her. She is young, bright and exceedingly personable. During the time that she was preparing our investment plan we were in the process of making some important financial decisions. Jenny advised us on the sale of real estate and stock, reducing our tax liability and saving us a substantial amount.The financial plan Jenny prepared for us is extremely comprehensive. She utilizes very sophisticated, but easy to understand, analytics and metrics. She assessed my defined compensation pension, our 401Ks and 457, investment accounts and real estate holdings. Jenny's plan addressed our current retirement projections, including a year-by-year strategy of which assets we will access during retirement and a recommendation of when to file for Social Security. She also advised us on Asset allocation of our investments, health care, long term care and estate planning.Jenny's analysis gave us the confidence to significantly advance our retirement date! We would highly recommend using Jenny for your financial planning needs, no matter what phase of life you are in. We will be using Jenny's expertise as we make this life-changing transition and she will certainly be invited to our retirement festivities!

I found Jenny through Yelp and I'm so glad I did. I'm in a transition period due to a divorce and moving out of the country and Jenny was so helpful. She was non-judgmental, professional and extremely responsive. She didn't push any products and gave me 2 excellent referrals for other professionals for other services that I need. She will stay as my financial advisor and I couldn't be more pleased.

I was referred to Jenny about a year ago when my husband and I were purchasing a new home. She was so helpful advising us on our finances and helping us combine and plan for the future. We have since kept her as our financial planner and go-to! Jenny isn't pushy and definitely didn't try to sell us any products/insurance/etc. In fact, I was most impressed with her ability to help us take small steps towards bigger goals, without feeling any pressure or stress. Some of the areas she has been most helpful are retirement savings, combining accounts (creating a more balanced portfolio), and introducing us to new ideas/ways to save that are better for the long term. Since she also has her JD, she is super informative on the legal side of things as well as potential tax repercussions. I highly recommend giving Jenny a call if you have any questions on your current financial life!

I found Jenny through Yelp and the Yelp reviews. I have been met with her two times now along with my boyfriend, to help plan our financial future. We are both working professionals in our early 30s just starting to navigate the financial world so she has been helpful in guiding us to plan our budget, look for savings, and plan steps towards reaching our goals. In addition, she has helped me transition from a basic Roth IRA to a Roth IRA where I am also dabbling in some mutual funds. She is personable and easy to communicate with which is important when making financial decisions about the future. We are pleased and will no doubt be using her services in the future to come as well.

After interviewing several planners, I chose Chisholm because Jenny seemed the most capable of helping me with a sound financial plan from a financial and legal point of view. Jenny has been fantastic. She took the time to understand my current situation (which involved divorce and real estate and college costs) and needs for the future and built a complete plan for me and quickly updated it with changes I had. She is also incredibly responsive and gets back to me whenever I have any question. She is also a licensed broker and I decided to have her manage part of my portfolio (which she does through Woodbury and which includes free ongoing financial planning). I feel like my money is actively managed and I like the quarterly check-ins as they help to keep me on task - and she reaches out to schedule them, it's not just a notice on my dashboard like I have with Fidelity. Her investment strategy is slow and steady wins the day, which I am on board with.

I spoke with Jenny a number of years ago when I was seeking financial advice. Her clear communication, knowledge of finances, and genuine interest in assisting me and knowing what I value made me choose her as my new financial advisor over a few others. She's organized and timely, listens carefully , and answers questions about long and short term goals. She gives me options and alternatives to think about; I see how she constantly strives for her own professional goals and objectives. She continues to learn and try new things.I rarely write reviews, but I do want her to know how much I appreciate her and her team.Great job Jenny!

I am so glad we worked with Jenny and Chisholm Financial. My husband and I felt we needed some direction in planning for retirement and some reassurance we were on the right path. Jenny was easy to work with and knowledgeable. After a year, we feel like we have the necessary processes in place to keep our finances on the right track on our own. If we ever need a tune up or have changes to our situation, I would not hesitate to use Jenny and her services again.

To say that working with Jenny has been a game-changer is an understatement. My biggest financial goal was to sell an investment property and take time off from my job to start a business doing something I’m passionate about. It has been almost 2 years since I started working with Jenny. I sold the property within the first 4 months. During that time Jenny walked me thru the entire investment process explaining everything along the way. My favorite thing about working with Jenny is how she walked me thru any questions I had at any point throughout the entire process; including IT questions about how to access my accounts online. Jenny also offered me sanity checks throughout this process; when I was asking myself, “can I really do this?” “Am I gonna lose everything I have following my dream?” Jenny was there to reassure me with personalized data and “worst case scenarios.” Thanks to her astute sense of investing, I was able to leave my job 2 months after selling the property for fun, part-time work while attending school to learn more about running my dream business. As is the case with life in general, unexpected expenses came up and I was also able to provide for loved ones after a death in my family. I graduated from my training program this past June and, while I’m still building it, my small business is now established. I still have enough money remaining to take additional time off, invest in my business, and/or use as a down payment for another property. My biggest surprise working with Jenny is that, after everything I’ve achieved, all the time I’ve been able to take off, and the unexpected expenses that have come up, I still have an impressive amount of funds left.
