On Life's journey, do you know where you are headed?

We are all uniquely created for a purpose. Life is a journey to discover our “true self” and pursue this inspired purpose. Many of us have either not found our purpose or, sadly, fail to pursue it due to financial considerations.  As you navigate the second half of your journey,  it’s time to uncover “what makes your heart come alive” and create the margin (financial plans, time and energy) to live it  with more clarity and financial confidence.

ABOUT THE BOOK

The novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald once famously said, “There are no second acts in American lives.” The Money and Meaning Journey: A Guide to Clarity, Financial Confidence and Joy aims to refute that assertion. It shows that it is possible for wealth and meaning to grow together in your life’s second act. That it is possible to create  wealth and use it to benefit your life, your family, and your surrounding community. Jeff Bernier walks readers through the process of uncovering “what matters most” and offers a toolkit for managing money in the second act of their lives through goal-focused investing, tax planning, and estate planning.

 Jeff Bernier’s thirty-six years of experience as a financial advisor will help you:

  • Conduct introspection to discover your unique strengths and passions

  • Design a financial plan that fuels your life’s purpose 

  • Create goal-focused plans for your money

  • Capture market returns in a low cost, tax efficient manner

MEET
JEFF BERNIER

Jeff has provided personalized financial advice to individuals and families since 1986. After starting his career with a large firm where he felt there were limited products and services available, he made the decision to form an independent registered investment advisory (RIA) firm, TandemGrowth Financial Advisors, LLC. This gave Jeff the freedom to offer the holistic, objective advice that he believes his clients need and deserve.

Three decades later, Jeff couldn’t be prouder of his team and the firm’s continued dedication to its clients and their financial planning. In addition, Jeff enjoys sharing his experiences as a speaker, author, and host of the Money and Meaning Podcast. Jeff is especially passionate about coaching clients on how they can uncover “what matters most” and align their actions and resources with their goals; teaching a better way to invest—evidence based investing—and helping people become better investors through behavioral investment counseling.
