Founder and Principal, MoneyWise Financial Advisors CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ | Wealth Advisor | Investment Manager | Speaker
Having been disappointed in her own experiences as a client of expensive, commission-driven, male-dominated Wall Street investment firms, Joanna Nowak founded MoneyWise to provide a more client-centered approach to wealth management.
Joanna provides clear financial advice to support her clients’ life goals, aspirations, and dreams—while empowering them to live their lives from a position of strength and freedom.
Joanna holds a B.S. in Commerce and an MBA from Santa Clara University and is an active member in several non-profit organizations that focus on the economic empowerment of women. She contributes a percentage of Moneywise revenues to international charities that help lift women out of poverty.
MoneyWise Financial Advisors collaborates with a nationwide network of professional organizations and A-list resources. These valued partners provide additional expertise in portfolio management, estate planning, tax planning, retirement planning, charitable planning, risk management, and a host of other areas.
