About Jessica Champion, RICP®

Hi, I'm Jess Champion. I'm the Founder of Jessica Champion Investments, a fee-only fiduciary financial advisor specializing in tax and retirement planning for individuals and families.

I founded Jessica Champion Investments in 2025 because I saw a major gap in the financial industry. Most clients felt they were being underserved by their advisor or overcharged. I wanted to build something different for people like you and me. I wanted a firm where clients had enough time to ask all the questions they wanted to and to have access to world class solutions at a fair price.

Whether you built your savings through years of hard work or inherited it from loved ones whose legacy you want to honor, you deserve a partner who shares your values. You want to be responsible with your money, but you don't want to be judged for buying a daily coffee or taking a vacation. You want to be smart with your money and need help navigating the seemingly endless and overwhelming choices and nuance.

How We Work Together

Comprehensive planning: Every piece of your financial life is connected—your 403(b), 457, pension, taxes, and investments.

Fiduciary commitment: As a fee-only fiduciary, I am legally and ethically bound to act in your best interest. No product pitches, no commissions, and no corporate sales quotas.

True independence: Delivering this level of care takes time and transparent costs. Going independent allowed me to ditch the corporate structure so I can focus entirely on providing clear, honest, and compassionate guidance and no commission financial advice.

If you think we might be a good fit please reach out for a confidential and free conversation. I look forward to meeting you soon.
