Jennifer's direct, real-life experience as an entrepreneur, board member, real estate investor, corporate and investment banker, and financial planner, provides her with a unique knowledge of and perspective on how to properly hold and structure investments while focusing on asset protection and tax implications1. She is well qualified to understand and incorporate the risk, return, and correlation of outside business and real estate interests into a properly diversified investment portfolio.

Hello. My name is Jennifer Williams and I'm a financial advisor in Tampa, Florida with Truist Wealth. My true passion is helping successful business owners, serial entrepreneurs, and their families manage their entire financial life, not just their business. I bring a unique combination of experiences to my clients. Not only am I a certified financial planner, but I'm experienced in commercial lending, corporate mergers and acquisitions, and raising capital in both the public and private debt and equity markets. I'm married to a serial entrepreneur who has bought and sold over 50 businesses and investment real estate. So I've experienced the emotional roller coaster of birthing, growing, and selling businesses. It's my top priority to give my clients the peace of mind that their financial house is in order so they can focus on their family, businesses, and philanthropic ventures. I'm also certified as an exit planning advisor, helping business owners maximize value through business transitions. As a 2016 graduate of the Harvard Business School governing for nonprofit excellence program, I learned how to use the tax code to leverage philanthropic giving with a focus on giving a hand up not a handout. I enjoy serving in the community having volunteered and served on many boards, including the Community Foundation of Tampa Bay, LifePath Hospice, and Think Big for Kids. As a mother of three boys, I'm passionate about teaching children financial literacy. If you're an entrepreneur or a philanthropic individual looking for a financial advisor who specializes in working with like minded professionals, I can't wait to meet you.
