Jacqueline Schadeck CFP®, AWMA®
After witnessing her mother fall victim to poor financial advice that cost her family everything, Jacqueline Schadeck set out to become a go-to resource for financial guidance. She has helped high-net-worth clients keep and grow their assets over the past decade, and is now a trusted partner in creating generational wealth.
Jacqueline is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®) professional who helps individuals and families gain financial clarity. Offering both insurance and investment products and services, she believes people need comprehensive financial guidance to make the best decisions. Jacqueline has been asked to contribute to numerous media outlets, including CNBC, MarketWatch and Atlanta Business Chronicle. In any given week, you might find her leading financial education presentations for a local AARP chapter or explaining the tax code at a public library education session. She was even honored with the Impact Award by the Financial Planning Association of Georgia for her dedication to the industry.
In keeping with her desire to help others, Jacqueline gives back to her community by volunteering for various organizations. These include her church, several non-profits and her college alma mater, Kennesaw State University, where she played basketball for the Owls on scholarship and graduated cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in finance. Jacqueline is also a past board member for the Financial Planning Association of Georgia.
