About Jackie Lewis, CFP®, MBA

Hi, I'm Jackie Lewis. My mission is to work with my clients to put together a holistic financial plan that provides them with a clear path to their goals. This can include putting you on a path to financial independence (or retirement), finding ways to reduce your taxes or just guiding you on money matters. Being proactive and bringing ideas to the table is important to me as well as having a fun and interactive experience as we put a plan into place that is flexible and purposeful.

Before I co-founded Wealth With Options, I spent 20 years in banking working with some of the bank's wealthiest clients. My goal is to use that expertise to bring guidance and clarity to folks who are still building their wealth and are looking for help in navigating the journey.

I'm married with three incredible kids (young adults) who keep me on my toes. In my free time, I enjoy traveling (domestic, international, you name it!), hiking (just completed a hike up Hualalai volcano) and anything to do with animals ( I have a dog and several cats) and donate as much as possible to the Humane Society.

About Wealth With Options

I work with my business partner, Ryan Goldenhar, to provide you with a team experience. We started this journey in 2006 as two separate advisors at a large private bank, teaching people about the importance of good money habits. After a few years, we realized we could provide a better environment for them in the independent space.

We joined forces in 2019 and our humble beginnings led us to specialize in working with incredibly busy, smart people who believe in professional advice and delegation.

Our clients tend to work in tech and receive equity compensation and they want help in navigating the complexity of this financial area with our help.

At Wealth With Options, we are a team oriented firm.

When you work with us, you gain access to an entire team, not just one person. We operate by a fiduciary standard which requires us to provide investment advice in our clients’ best interests and to provide a duty of undivided loyalty and utmost good faith.

Investment advisory services are offered through Mariner Platform Solutions ("MPS"), an SEC registered investment adviser. Wealth With Options is a separate business entity used for marketing purposes. The separate business entity is not owned, controlled by, or affiliated with MPS and is not registered with the SEC. For additional information about MPS, including fees and services, please contact MPS or refer to the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website (www.adviserinfo.sec.gov).

We’ve had nothing but the most positive experience over the past 5 years working with Jackie and Ryan as they’ve thoughtfully and skillfully guided us through – what was for us – the unfamiliar territory of financial planning. They’ve taken us from being naïve, marginally engaged participants fumbling towards our impending retirements to being more informed, thoughtful and goal-oriented in our approach to wealth management. They are truly interested in tailoring their advice and guidance in accordance with our life goals, both financially & personally. They also steered us to take care of legal & legacy concerns in terms of our estate planning, all while being friendly, accessible and extremely competent. Under Jackie & Ryan’s stewardship we are finally to a point where we feel a sense of security and peace about our financial future, and will continue to rely on their planning expertise in the years ahead.

Jackie is great!

Jackie has been our financial advisor for years, providing solid guidance on investments, retirement planning, and both major and everyday financial decisions. She's excellent at helping us stay committed to our long-term financial plans, especially during market fluctuations when it would be easy to make emotional decisions. We consult her on most financial matters, even if just to confirm I'm on the right track.

For the better part of 2 years, I have been a customer of Jackie and over that time she has been incredibly helpful and thoughtful in her advisement. Jackie is knowledgeable and provides concise answers to my questions. Jackie aims to teach about the psychology of investment through planning with goals and even reading recommendations. Jackie isn't afraid to ask challenging questions that create bigger picture thinking. We consider Jackie a part of our family!

Feb 14, 2025
We started working with Jackie when she and Ryan established their own company together and have been endlessly grateful for her kindness and care in helping us get a better grasp on our assets and how to manage them. Our first dire need was to have a family Trust removed from one institution to another, and Jackie and Ryan not only helped us choose a new institution but helped us keep our cool through various delays and obstacles thrown up by the releasing institution. As we have mulled over different ways to shape our estate planning, Jackie has been a really helpful resource, bringing all of her experience to bear on whatever the question of the moment may be. Jackie and Ryan are unwaveringly calm, insightful, and vigilant about helping us to keep on track with goals of all sizes, and under their management we have seen our assets really grow.

Outstanding and Much More than a Financial Advisor….

✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™
Feb 13, 2025
Jackie Lewis is a seasoned and skilled financial advisor. She has been doing this work for many years, so she is not only knowledgeable about wealth management, investments and the markets, she has gained other vast experience, which has allowed her to advise me in other areas: my estate plan; whether to take out a mortgage on a second home I own outright; when my wife should apply for (early?) Social Security retirement and Medicare; long term care planning…among many other ancillary quandaries I have had. What is truly wonderful is that I LOVE talking with her. I used to avoid conversations with my previous financial planner, but now I look forward to them. She has a very nice personality and disposition, and I never feel like my questions are stupid or imposing. Importantly to me, she is also a good and kind human who truly cares about her clients, her community and the world. She is a gem! …a rare find in a sea of financial planners. I highly and wholeheartedly recommend her.

Enriching journey

✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™
Feb 13, 2025
I have been working with Jackie and Ryan for the last 4 years since before covid. Since the start of our relationship we have gone through a pandemic, a couple of wars, US elections, and relatively turbulent times in global and US markets. In the meantime, I have also switched jobs, temporarily retired, changed my residency country 2 times and operate with 3 citizenships and live across 3 continents and 4 countries. To contextualize, my personal circumstances have changed more than usual and have been unusual even for the most adaptable and global investors. Jackie and Ryan have been extremely attentive and patient problem solvers, at times nudging me to move administrative issues along and at times brainstorming with me on the markets and my asset allocation given my personal ever-changing circumstances. I was a wealth advisor at mid-point in my career, and I have been beyond impressed and grateful for our working relationship given their sincere care, professionalism, follow-up and execution, and have learned a lot in terms of my financial planning into retirement. They were recommended to me by a close friend, and as such personal and financial relationships are difficult to recommended, I have been more than impressed with their services and working style, especially when some of my international challenges were beyond the scope of their services. I recommend working with them without any hesitation, as I'm confident, they will get to know your individual circumstances with utmost care, provide a range of solutions that are suitable, execute on your behalf and/or follow-up with you where they can't. My extended family lives in CA and they have even stepped up to offer advise and suggestions to them.

Amazing Advisors

✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™
Feb 11, 2025
I have been working with Jackie and Ryan for 3.5 years and they have been incredible financial advisors and partners in my financial journey. They have helped me through significant financial events with work, buying a house, and making me aware of options available to me I never would have known about or be able to take advantage of. They are incredibly responsive and knowledgable, and have an incredible network of tax, legal experts to recommend as well. Very happy with the team and highly recommend!

Trusted advisors that feel like family

✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™
Feb 10, 2025
Jackie Lewis and Ryan Goldenhar have been my husband and I’s financial advisors for over a decade and are long time advisors to my mother in law. They’ve been with us through good and bad economies as well as life changes. At this point, they feel like an extension of family and are always an impartial resource to us when we need them. Jackie and Ryan’s partnership provides the right balance of customer service and candid expertise. They are proactive in reaching out to us on a regular basis and in making portfolio changes to best balance risk with returns, while minimizing our tax liabilities. I’d recommend Jackie and Ryan to anyone and everyone.

Unique investment advisors that go "the extra mile" to reach family goals. A joy to work with too.

✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™
Feb 9, 2025
It was our good fortune to find Jackie Lewis and Ryan Goldenhar of Wealth With Options. We’ve had several companies over the years help us with financial investments, but these two are truly unique. They are hands-on, personal in taking the time to understand family financial goals and offering alternative approaches for achieving these goals. They go “the extra mile”, beyond just the two of us by dealing with our children, our heirs, to establish frameworks for growing and protecting their inheritances. No other companies have ever offered such services. We highly recommend the kinds of financial services that Jackie and Ryan offer. Plus they are a joy to work with. Roberta and Paul, in New Mexico.

Hands on Advisors

✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™
Feb 4, 2025
I started working with Ryan and Jackie several years ago and I've never had this kind of regular hands on approach of advising. It's been very useful as I plan for retirement and I feel very secure in their hands. I have watched my wealth grow as a combination of my contributions and their wise advise on the market.
