a special note from megan to you



I don’t think retirement is a one-size fits all approach. It’s very specific to who you are, what you want, & what you want your retirement to look like.

Everyone’s plan should be different & should be specialized to your needs. We want to know what your hopes are and what your perfect retirement looks like. I’m ok being your CFO while you’re the CEO of your retirement.”

Chris Jones

Founder & CEO | Financial Advisor

“Our clients are much more than a business transaction to all of us at JAG. We understand that without our clients’ trust and faith in us, JAG does not exist. That is why from the very beginning, we decided the key to our success and our clients’ success is to focus on safety, service and trust. We also made a strategic decision not to work with every investor out there. Working with fewer people allows us to provide more individual attention and support for each of our clients.”

Prior to Jones Advisory Group, Chris spent over 15 years in the financial services industry. After holding positions in accounting, investments, product development and distribution at Security Benefit, he moved to Advisors Excel, where he helped top financial advisors to grow their practice. Over the five years Chris was at Advisors Excel, he was integral in helping the company grow from $100 million in sales to over $3 billion!
