Jing Chen
Financial Advisor
CFP®, CFA®, MBA
Jing Chen is a Chartered Financial Analyst® and CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional serving Allworth’s Lafayette, California, office. She brings more than 15 years of combined experience in finance, first as a CFO in China, and now as a financial professional serving individuals and families in California. She holds both a Master of Finance and an MBA from an AACSB-accredited university in China, reflecting her deep technical knowledge and commitment to professional excellence. Specializing in financial planning, estate planning, and portfolio management, Jing has a thoughtful, steady approach that’s shaped by years of experience across global markets.
Outside of work, Jing enjoys spending weekends hiking, exploring national parks, and sharing good food with family and friends. (And if you have a great seafood recipe, she’d love to hear it!) A lifelong learner with a sense of humor, she still remembers being the last to finish every recitation in elementary school—proof that persistence pays off.
I approach every client relationship with the same care and respect I would offer to my own family. I begin by listening closely, taking time to understand each client’s unique needs, priorities, and goals. That initial conversation sets the foundation for a customized financial plan that is both thoughtful and personal.
With a focus on both short- and long-term objectives, I help clients build dynamic, tax-efficient investment strategies designed to keep them on track and offer peace of mind along the way. My recommendations are made with their best interests in mind, and I work hard to ensure their plan evolves with them as life changes.
To me, being a financial advisor is more than a profession. It’s a meaningful relationship built on trust, gratitude, and shared goals. Some of the most rewarding moments in my work come when clients treat me like family, because it means they feel truly heard, supported, and understood.
When clients feel like family, I know I’ve done more than manage their finances—I’ve earned their trust.
