Quotes
“Being a financial planner is about the money, the modeling, taxes, IRS code. But it is equally a relationship business. It is equally a communication business.” ~ Jessica Gibbs
”This is a subject matter that I've always loved learning about. I was that kid who read Money magazine in high school. I opened my first Vanguard account when I got my first job and invested in a mutual fund. I talked to my friends about like, hey, do you have an investment account?” ~ Jessica Gibbs
“Wealth is going to be changing hands to women and younger generations… Having women representation within the industry is so important to making sure that you are speaking effectively to female clients.” ~ Jessica Gibbs
