Jerrey A. Thurston, CFP®, CIMA®, CPWA®, CEPA®
Managing Director–Wealth Management
Private Wealth Advisor
Business owners don’t just exit a company, they convert years of work into one defining financial moment. While the process may seem straightforward, the details beneath the surface like deal structure, tax exposure, liquidity timing, and post-sale strategy can significantly impact what you ultimately keep. That’s where Jerrey focuses his work.
As a Certified Exit Planning Advisor® (CEPA®) with over 20 years of experience, Jerrey helps business owners and family-owned businesses prepare for and navigate successful transitions. Having supported 40+ business exits, primarily in construction and service-based industries, he understands where value is created and where it can quietly erode. Jerrey helps guide clients through every stage of the process, from exit and succession planning to investment strategy, estate planning, and multigenerational wealth transfer, helping ensure they transition on their terms and with clarity around what their wealth is meant to accomplish.
Before wealth management, Jerrey spent 12 years playing professional baseball with organizations including the San Diego Padres, Chicago Cubs, Houston Astros, Anaheim Angels, Montreal Expos, and Cincinnati Reds. As a client during that time, he experienced strong investment advice but a lack of personal connection, something he’s made central to his approach.
Combining strategic exit planning with personalized financial guidance, Jerrey helps business owners maximize the value of their business, protect what they’ve build, and create a meaningful legacy.
Born and raised in Seminole County, Jerrey, his wife, and their two daughters call Belle Isle home. He is active in the community, enjoys playing golf and spending time on the lake.
