About Jeff Poole

Hi, I'm Jeff Poole, Managing Partner of Wealth Analytics. We are a team of fiduciary financial advisors that help people create a comprehensive financial plan and investment strategy for a meaningful and secure retirement. Our mission is simple – preserve legacies, grow assets, and always put client interests first.

In my role, I am responsible for ensuring our wealth management team is creating a comprehensive financial planning and investment experience. We create a tax-smart plan that optimizes your investments, taxes, income, and trust. We help people get organized across the strategic milestones in their life.

With a wealth of experience in the investment industry, I possess a deep understanding of market dynamics, asset allocation, and investment strategies. I am responsible for overseeing the company's direction and developing sound strategies for clients while managing risks effectively.

As a fiduciary I play a critical role in shaping the company's financial planning and investment philosophy and driving its long-term success. With a client-centric approach and a commitment to delivering creative planning strategies, I help ensure that clients' financial goals are met, and their plan is optimized. I am one of the authors of Your Insider's Guide to Retirement, a book about the inside scoop on retirement planning, sharing my vast knowledge about the financial services industry and how to achieve financial freedom.

I educate and empower our clients to live a fulfilling life journey as they work towards achieving their highest vision in retirement. As a financial mentor, I help clients navigate shifting taxes and market trends with clear, strategic investment guidance.

I started at Wealth Analytics in 2017 after spending 18 years at Merrill Lynch, Bank of America, and Fidelity. Leaving the big bank and brokerage world to join Wealth Analytics, an independent fiduciary firm, was one of the best decisions in my life, and I became a partner in 2019.

Outside the office, I enjoy family time with my wife and 3 kids, boating, snowboarding, backpacking, and traveling to new places. I also participate in community events focused on service, education, and supporting opportunities for underserved areas.

Since our beginning in 1999, we have intentionally focused on building a practice around high quality engagement with our clients. We work best with people who share this same vision below - You want to create a financial plan, invest wisely, minimize taxes, and have $750,000 or more to invest. Next, you are seeking a trusted team of financial professionals that have the skill, will, and time to do the work for you, so you can have peace of mind and enjoy retirement.

Thanks for learning more about me and our wealth management team.

Sincerely, Jeff, Troy, Brittany, Connie, Megan and Belle

About Wealth Analytics

Wealth Analytics is a fee-only, independently owned firm of fiduciary financial advisors with an office in San Diego, CA. We serve clients throughout San Diego and Orange County CA, as well as nationwide.

For more than two decades we've helped people reinvent retirement on their terms, guiding clients through the financial steps from a working career to a secure and meaningful retirement and staying there.

Our process is about your goals and our expertise. What does money mean to you? Is it financial freedom, security, time to yourself, volunteering or new opportunities with friends and family? Is it building generational wealth or spending down your assets? How do you create income in retirement? What are your dreams and aspirations in this chapter of your life? What did your parents or grandparents do for retirement and how will yours differ? Who do you want to share your retirement with and what will you do? Let’s get started on your plan.

Who We Serve

We work with individuals, couples, multi-generational families, widowers, business owners and working professionals who are preparing for or already living in retirement. We are a team of fiduciary financial advisors that help people create a comprehensive financial plan and investment strategy for a meaningful and secure retirement.

Our Services

Financial Planning and Investment Management - Our team helps clients with comprehensive wealth management planning centered on retirement income strategies, tax-smart investment management, trust and estate planning, social security and pensions, healthcare choices, and charitable intent, all built around a personalized financial plan and modern portfolio theory.

Why Work With Us

We have intentionally focused on building a practice around high quality engagement with our clients. As fee-only fiduciaries, we have taken a fiduciary oath to put clients' interests first. We don't sell annuities or life insurance, we aren't a broker-dealer, and we don't collect commissions — you'll know exactly what your costs are and how your accounts are performing. Our custodian by choice is Charles Schwab. We are not affiliated with a brokerage firm, bank, or insurance company.

Investment advisory services are offered through Wealth Analytics Partners, LLC, a Registered Investment Adviser with the SEC.

I've worked with Jeff and the team since he started at Wealth Analytics, and it's been a positive experience. They focus on investing and retirement cash flow planning so I can enjoy retirement and meet my goals. We have annual meetings together to help figure out my spending and monitor my returns so that I stay on track to make my nest egg last!

I honestly believe I’d still be grinding away in an unfulfilling corporate job if it weren't for Wealth Analytics. They didn’t just manage my money; they got to know me personally to ensure my retirement dreams were actually attainable. From analyzing my lifestyle goals to assessing my financial health, their talented team made my transition seamless. There are so many layers to the support they provide that the cost is easily justified by the life I get to live now. If you want a team that cares about your future as much as you do, look no further than Wealth Analytics!

I’ve been a client of Wealth Analytics for over two years and couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. They are a true boutique firm—highly knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in their clients’ success.What sets them apart is the combination of thoughtful strategy, clear communication, and personal attention. With a small team, you never feel like a number, and every recommendation is well explained and tailored to your specific situation. I have complete confidence in their advice and appreciate their long-term, disciplined approach.If you’re looking for a financial advisory firm that is both sophisticated and personal, Wealth Analytics is outstanding.

My wife and I have known Jeff Poole for almost 14 years. We have always found him to be very knowledgeable, and client oriented. When he joined Wealth Analytics, we moved our investments to continue our financial relationship. He has helped us with managing our portfolio and have been very satisfied with the return we have experienced. He has always been responsive to matching the investments to our lifestyle. We have been satisfied and recommended him to our daughter and son-in-law.

Ralph and I first met with the Wealth Analytics team in 2017 just before we both retired. They helped us determine the best financial plan for our existing savings and income portfolio. They took the time to get to know us and our personal retirement plans. They have guided us through the past 8 years. We are completely satisfied with their work! Whenever we needed their assistance they have been there for us.
