Wealth advice for your life's goals

Cronan-Hudson-Group

Understanding your life, your wealth and what you want to accomplish is at the core of our practice. We'll discuss your goals, the people who are most important in your life and your vision for the future. Then we'll help you organize your financial life into three strategies: Liquidity—to help provide cash flow for short-term expenses, Longevity—for longer-term needs and Legacy—for needs that go beyond your own.

Timeframes may vary. Strategies are subject to individual client goals, objectives and suitability. This approach is not a promise or guarantee that wealth, or any financial results, can or will be achieved.

(CFP Board) to individuals who meet education, examination, experience and ethics requirements.

    As the Branch Manager of the Chattanooga UBS office, Jeff has led and built what is now the largest wealth management firm in the city with over $6 billion in assets under management.

    Jeff earned his Bachelor's degree in Finance from Tennessee Tech University. He achieved the Wealth Advisor designation with UBS, a comprehensive training designation for high net worth clients, in 2007.
