Jessica Baumgartner

Financial Advisor

CRPC®

Jessica Baumgartner is a Chartered Retirement Planning CounselorSM in Allworth’s Manasquan, New Jersey, office. She earned her Bachelor of Science degree in business administration with a concentration in finance from the University of Delaware and began her career at U.S. Trust Company’s high-net-worth trust division in New York City. After returning to New Jersey, she held financial planning roles at Morgan Stanley and Citi Smith Barney before joining the George McKelvey Company in 2016—a well-regarded Manasquan-based firm that became part of Allworth in 2024.

Throughout her career, Jessica has worked closely with clients from all walks of life, guiding them through a wide range of financial decisions and life stages. Known for her attentive, client-first approach, she’s deeply committed to delivering highly personalized guidance that helps simplify complexity and empowers her clients to feel confident about their financial future. Outside of work, Jessica enjoys spending quality time with her husband, two children, and dogs.

It all starts with a conversation—listening closely and meeting each client exactly where they are. The big question we want to answer is: What are they trying to achieve in the near term and over the long term?

Everyone has a unique relationship with money, shaped by their personal experiences and values. That’s why I believe it’s essential to gain a deep understanding of what truly matters to each client. This foundation helps guide our conversations and allows me to create a financial plan that’s thoughtfully aligned with their goals. And because life brings change—births, losses, career shifts, retirement—I take pride in delivering tailored guidance that can evolve alongside each client’s life circumstances.

Throughout our partnership, I endeavor to build a lasting, meaningful relationship so I can offer steady support and guidance. I also value collaborating with clients’ tax, legal, and insurance professionals to help ensure they have a well-coordinated, efficient strategy that supports every piece of their financial picture.

I genuinely care about the personal and financial well-being of each of my clients and their families. Over the course of a single day, I might celebrate the arrival of a grandchild, hear about a child heading off to college, or support a family through the loss of a loved one. It’s a privilege to walk alongside clients through life’s many transitions—the joyful milestones and the more difficult moments alike. That sense of connection is what makes this work so meaningful to me.

My role as an advisor is to build trusted relationships with my clients so I can deliver the guidance and resources they need to achieve what matters most to them.
