About Jared Tanimoto:
Jared is recognized as an Investopedia Top 100 Financial Advisor as well as a 40 Under 40 Advisor by InvestmentNews. He is the founder of Sedai (formerly Ascent) Wealth Advisors, a fee-only wealth management firm helping families navigate their finances and build wealth.
Sedai Wealth is a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) that operates under the fiduciary standard and will never accept commissions, kickbacks, or other incentives - this means its clients' interests will always come first even if doing so results in lower compensation for the firm.

- Uncover the power of a personalized approach to financial planning for your clients.
- Learn the importance of upholding the fiduciary standard and always prioritizing your client's best interests.
Key Takeaways:
- Discover the rewarding journey
Transitioning from an insurance industry to a fee-based financial planning role can be a journey full of discovery and rewards. Jared's story illustrates that with determination, professional upgradation, and a client-centric focus, it can be a path well worth undertaking.
- Embrace the benefits
Embracing the fee-based or retainer model in financial planning, as Jared Tanimoto did, comes with numerous benefits. It enables financial advisors to work without any bias for compensation from product sales.
“I got kind of stuck in a routine in that side of the industry, not really doing planning, not doing any kind of investments, estate planning, retirement planning. And so I went out, got my CFP … And in 2017, about seven years after I got my start, I ended up starting my own firm. "
