Associate Financial Advisor
Creating a secure plan for his own family is what originally led Loyd to look into financial planning as a career in college. “My initial anxiety turned into a passion for helping individuals and families align their wealth to achieve their most important life goals.” After completing a Business Finance degree and an investment management internship, Loyd set his sights on working as a financial advisor with Financial Freedom for Dentists. His career path began with helping in client meetings, to becoming a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNERTM practitioner, and now working as an Associate Financial Advisor. Beyond helping clients, Loyd continues to sharpen his skills, recently receiving his Chartered Retirement Plan CounselorTM designation. “I am privileged to be surrounded by co-workers who share that same passion for comprehensive financial planning."

The Road to Success - Avoiding Failure by Understanding Your Practice (1 CE) 6:30 - 7:30
Speaker: Jeff Gullickson, CPA: JNG Advisors Founder and Chief Advisor
Jeff is the Chief Advisor and takes the lead on all planning and operational matters — reviewing client reports, monthly client meetings, and managing tax compliance and planning. Before founding JNG Advisors, Jeff worked for several large CPA firms as a tax and audit accountant in the Northwest. Jeff wanted to offer his clients more than the traditional hourly tax preparation relationship that most accountants provide. He is now living his dream by creating long-term and comprehensive relationships with dental clients.
Jeff graduated from the University of Washington with a degree in Business Administration. He worked as a photographer on a Florida-based cruise ship, then settled down to own a successful photography business in his hometown. Jeff heard numbers calling his name and, after selling his photo studio, became a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) in 2008. He and his wife also owned a physical therapy practice in Chehalis, Washington during this time. Jeff's experience as a business owner gives him the unique experience to help clients through some of the challenges they face on a daily basis.
Jeff is based in Bend, Oregon with his wife and two children. He enjoys all that Bend has to offer, including skiing, curling, golf and mountain biking.
