Brett knows that financial freedom happens by taking action to make the dream possible. In fact, he’s a tireless worker on anything he pursues, whether it’s troubleshooting a computer glitch, repairing a car or building a balance sheet. Brett earned his Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® designation in 2012, to continue serving clients in divorce financial planning.
With his background as a construction business owner and ministry facilitator for divorce and other family needs, Brett has experience with the practical side of finance (payroll, operations and human resources) as well as its emotional side. “We see people at all stages in life going through divorce and the result of their money habits. I enjoy watching a case go through and helping with the resolution, knowing I played a role in getting things organized for them and seeing their positive progress.”
Brett started with AJW Financial to help with internal accounting and technology support…and never left. His role has expanded to divorce planning services as well as providing internal support for the firm’s human resources, operations, technology upgrades and maintenance. This has led Brett to also support clients with questions about technology purchases and troubleshooting, car purchases or home maintenance advice. He’s happy to answer random questions, go along to test drive a vehicle or research a non-financial request when it helps staff and clients become more efficient and knowledgeable.
