About Me

Hi! I’m Jonathan Grannick, the adventurous founder of Wonder Wealth, a San Diego based virtual financial planning firm that helps young families in their 20s, 30s, and 40s navigate the most pivotal financial years of their lives.

After graduating from The University of Georgia (Go Dawgs!) I began my career at a well-regarded Fee-Only Financial Planning firm preparing financial plans for mass affluent and high net worth clients. I am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional who has been in the industry for over a decade. I’ve worked on several hundred financial plans to this point, and I’ve seen too many situations where good hard-working people had to make serious financial sacrifices because they winged their finances. By the time they invested in a professional, it was too late, and sacrifices were inevitable. Sacrifices like lifestyle, dream home, travel, retirement age, family time, entrepreneurship, ability to support loved ones, the list goes on.

I started Wonder Wealth to help people my own age get ahead of that curve, to lifestyle design a path full of options, not limitations. The process of proper money management can be time consuming, intimidating, confusing, frustrating, and trigger a whole range of emotions. Emotions that make procrastination very easy. I’ve seen how that can end after so many years, you deserve better.

My purpose is to help you do the things you need to do (with money) to get you to where you want to be (with life). You deserve better and you don’t have to wait until retirement to get it. My mission is to help guide you to a better today and an even better tomorrow.

✅ Here is my "Why":

My desire to help people stems from my father, a 35 year drug and alcohol addictions counselor who gave hope to people when there was none to be found. My mother filled me with compassion and a desire to connect with people in a meaningful way. While their character traits influenced me greatly, it was ultimately their financial situation that inspired a career in financial planning.

Growing up in a household riddled by financial strain isn't pretty. Constant arguing, stress, accusation, limited options, and years of hard work with little to show for it are just a few components. When money came in, it was immediately spent. Saving was an idea but not much more. Without an unbiased outside presence to intervene, the cycle continued.

I’m motivated by a powerful idea. The idea that one relationship with a CFP® could have vastly changed my parent’s priorities years ago, and therefore the rest of their lives.

You Deserve an Adviser Who Cares

I get it, life can be hectic and planning your finances tends to fall to the backburner. I grew up watching my parents approach money the same way without any professional oversight. I’ve seen the consequences, they are significant, painful, far reaching, yet completely avoidable.

I want it to be different for you!

I’m here to guide you towards a life of options, not limitations.
