Jesse Vu, CCS, EPC, QAFP
CEO, Principal Advisor
As the principal advisor in Exceedia’s family division, Jesse’s practice focuses primarily on helping families and self employed build financial road maps that address not only their financial wants and desires but also identify critical financial events that can occur along the way. What makes Jesse’s approach unique is her integrated process that incorporates one’s personal strategies with assets and income from their operating/holding company. While many business owners recognize the importance of planning, they are often too busy growing their business. As a result, miss potential planning opportunities.
The focus of Jesse’s clients, amongst other things, is that they want to know their needs will be met and possible risks mitigated. A strong believer that true financial planning cannot occur in the absence of a trusting relationship, many of Jesse’s clients have been to her home and met her children. Most client appointments with Jesse finish with a big hug and it is not unusual for clients to shed a tear or two during emotional meetings.
