Find the Best Financial Advisors in Texas

Life's complicated enough - why not simplify where we can? As a Wealth Coach and co-founder of an independent financial practice , I specialize in helping individuals and families break down big financial goals into practical, manageable steps. Whether you're planning for retirement, navigating a major life change, or just trying to get a better handle on your financial complexities, my goal is to make those decisions feel clear and doable. I earned a degree computer programming, but during the "Great Recession" in 2008, I pivoted into financial planning because I saw how essential clarity and strategy are-especially in times of uncertainty. For the past 16 years, I've focused on helping clients move from feeling overwhelmed to confidence with smart, actionable planning. I hold the Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor" (CRPC®) designation from the College for Financial Planning® and am an Investment Adviser Representative with Commonwealth Financial Network®, maintaining FINRA Series 7 and 66 securities licenses. Some of my best lessons about simplicity come from being a dad to two energetic boys (ages 6 and 11). Whether we're building a Lego fortress or talking about saving for something big, they remind me that life should be more about doing what matters and less about stressing over the rest. And honestly, financial planning should feel the same-empowering, not overwhelming. Not everyone wakes up excited to organize life's priorities-but I do. And if that's not your thing, that's okay. You don't have to do it alone. My role is to bring structure, clarity, and encouragement so you can move forward with confidence. Let's simplify, strategize, and move forward-together.

Before founding LX Parker I served as a wealth manager and private banker at some of the top firms in the industry including: Silicon Valley Bank, Bank of America, USAA, and Ameriprise Financial. I also worked for $300B+ asset management firm, Dimensional Fund Advisors, where I was mentored by the co-CEO. As a CFP^® professional, I am required to complete rigorous testing, experience, ethics and continuing education requirements covering investments, retirement, insurance, tax and estate planning. I am bound by the CFP Board's Code of Ethics and am required to put client's interest ahead of my own at all times. I graduated cum laude from Lehigh University at age 20 while pursuing a double major in Finance and Marketing and a double minor in Entrepreneurship and Music Business. I earned my MBA from the University of Texas at Austin where I received the Dean's Leadership Award and was the Inaugural Texas Venture Labs Scholar. On the weekend I recharge my batteries in East Texas at LX Parker Ranch where we use regenerative farming practices to sustainably grow organic hay and grass fed beef on the very land where my ancestors were once enslaved. If I'm not at the ranch, then I'm at church playing the piano for Sunday service.' I met my wife, Christy, at a church summer camp when we were 12 years old. I had a crush on her and she didn't like me. Fast forward, we have been married for over 13 years. We have three wonderful sons Logan (5), Xavier (2) and Parker (infant). LX Parker... See what I did there ;-). If you made it this far you should go ahead and schedule a complimentary consultation.

Those factors are Strategy, Allocation, Fees, and Expenses. Adhering to this philosophy along with a tax centric, comprehensive financial plan, his clients have total transparency, and a vital understanding of their financial objectives.

About SMART Group Houston

SMART Group Houston is not your ordinary Financial Services firm. Most firms are transactional, focusing strictly on the accumulation of assets using arbitrary risk/reward criteria to select financial products. In our experience taking on additional risk will not necessarily yield greater returns. We approach our clients finances from a broader perspective. We focus not just on accumulating wealth but protecting it as well. We focus not just on your immediate needs, but how each piece fits in within your entire financial strategy. Our approach enables us to identify opportunities that other firms may, and usually do, overlook. We look for ways to make your money work harder for you in ways that you might never have imagined. We have found that many common investment strategies seriously underestimate the challenges facing you as you transition into other phases of your financial journey. Ultimately, we strive to give each client the opportunity to spend less time worrying about their portfolio and wondering whether your money will be enough to give you the financial freedom you expect. We do this, not through unrealistically optimistic and risky investments, but through a comprehensive strategy that outlines the ideal path to your financial success. In our view, taxes remain one of the biggest risks to wealth creation and accumulation. Every dollar is taxed in 4 ways, when you EARN it, when you GROW it, when you SPEND it, and when you PASS AWAY. At SMART Group, we won't file last years tax returns, but we will do your FUTURE tax returns by providing you with custom strategies designed to help you save taxes in each of the 4 phases of taxation. Our team of licensed CFP's and CPA's will help guide you throughout each step of your financial journey.

Jerry serves as an investment advisor at Beck Capital Management (BCM), guiding his clients to their appropriate portfolio type, as well as providing a financial plan that will keep them on track to meet their goals. Jerry joined Frank Beck and his predecessor company, Capital Financial Group, in 1997. Prior to joining Frank, he spent 11 years in the financial services industry. First, managing his own insurance agency, and then as the Area Director of the city of Austins Deferred Compensation Plan. The transition to BCM allowed him to continue serving his client base by shifting the focus to their post-retirement investment and planning needs. At BCM, we employ an investment philosophy based on Sector Rotation, a strategy that allows us to focus on specific industries while avoiding the sectors of the market that are out of favor. This stands in direct contrast to the cookie-cutter approach of investing in a basket of mutual funds and/or exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The portfolios at BCM are custom-tailored to the individual and are aligned with their specific tolerances to risk and volatility. All investment decisions are made in-house, which avoids the typical layering of investment fees. There is no doubt that next to marrying his lovely bride of 23 years, Janet, this was easily the best decision he ever made. Besides spending time with Janet and his five grandchildren, Jerry loves exploring the Austin culinary scene and a good round of golf when he can fit one in.

This is one of the things that sets Ken apart from other advisors; his commitment to thinking holistically and creatively so that he can help his clients work towards their unique financial goals.Ken is dedicated to helping clients pursue financial independence through practical, values-driven financial plans.

Michelle Vargas, Certified Financial Planner^™ is the President of Waymaker Financial Planning, a Fee-Only planning and investment management firm in Fort Worth, Texas. She focuses on helping Christian women make smart money decisions, especially those in transition to retirement, widowhood, and managing wealth for the first time. Her goal is to help all clients successfully navigate their financial life so that they will be worry free and spend more time doing what they love. After earning a degree in Finance from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette in 1990, she moved to Orlando, Florida and started her career with Harcourt Brace Publishing. Her journey into personal finance began when she enrolled in her 401K and wanted to learn about additional options to plan for retirement. Not many advisors were willing to help her with her 401K choices, and none offered a written financial plan. In 1994 she left Harcourt Brace Publishing and became licensed to work as a Financial Advisor. In 1998, she completed the rigorous education and experience requirements to become a CFP. With over 9 years of professional experience as a financial advisor, she daily strives to make the complex simple when advising clients. She often remembers what the experience was like when she was young and looking for an advisor. This memory enables her to be sensitive and patient in all of her interactions. Education is also an important component of her practice, and she has been quoted by CBS News, Yahoo Finance, and MSN. She and her husband live in Fort Worth, and they have an amazing son Andrew. He is a Young Steinway Artist in graduate school at Texas Christian University. When her son was younger, she was very active in the homeschool community and served as a director, teacher, and support group leader. Her proudest accomplishments are persevering in homeschooling through high school and founding Waymaker Financial Planning. In her spare time, she enjoys walking through the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens to get inspired to make her own garden more beautiful. Spring is her favorite time of year and she loves exploring backroads filled with beautiful fields of Texas Bluebonnets. Occasionally, when her adventurous side kicks in, she goes white water rafting - with an experienced guide, of course!

About Waymaker Financial Planning

Waymaker Financial Planning serves Christian women in all seasons of their lives. We also work with Christian men who are looking for a trusted female CFP so that their wives can begin to learn about family finances now instead of later in a time of grief.

We are registered with the state - rather than with a firm - so that our one loyalty and commitment is to you - our client - and not to 'wall street' or special interests. Typical accounts we can manage: IRA, Roth, 401(k), individual, joint, trusts.

About JMG Wealth Management

At JMG Wealth Management, I take a client's needs approach. Everyone is different for what they are trying to attain. I listen to what my clients disclose to me and research for them how to best reach their objectives. I have been securities licensed since 1995 and insurance licensed since 1998. My 25 + years of experience in both the securities arena as well as the insurance arena helps my clients address these needs. As of today, July 2024, my 200+ clients have entrusted me with their assets in excess of $32M. My objective is to educate my clients and explain what my recommendations are and why. I want my clients to walk this journey with me and be involved. One thing that has always been a precedent of mine is finding a solution for my clients. I believe in finding the "square peg that will fit in the round hole." This method allows me to research my clients and find the best-case scenario for each of them rather than a "cookie-cutter approach." It is the challenge of this business and what I look forward to every day. I assist my clients in the areas of asset management as well as insurance needs if the need exists. If you are looking for someone that will explore the full financial arena for you or to manage your assets then give me a call.
