Hi! I'm Hilary.

I’m a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®) professional, entrepreneur, woman, wife, mother, and friend committed to helping you remove money blocks wherever I find them, grow your financial wealth, and champion you to financial freedom.

I’ve been where you are. Despite being a hard worker and a high earner, I created inauthentic financial patterns and faced painful financial results. I spent myself right out of my resources. But I took that struggle and I used it to succeed. I have devoted my career to using that former pain to transform money behaviors. I have done this in my own life and, as your financial advisor, I can do it for you as well. Think of it as your financial transformation.

As a woman, it can be tough to know who to trust when it comes to getting real about money.

Ideally, you’ll find a financial advisor you connect with on a personal level. Even more, you want a truth-teller, and strategic thinker, someone who has the resources to ensure all your questions are answered… both those you have now and those you’ve not yet thought to ask.

I’m not your father’s financial advisor — I’m yours.

I believe in meeting you where you are, witnessing your transformation, and making sure you have the financial plan you need to live the life of your dreams. I’d love to learn more about you and your financial goals.

If you’ve been thinking about partnering with a financial advisor to achieve what’s important to you, let’s start a more meaningful conversation about your wealth!

Hi! I'm Alyssa

I am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, wife, mother of three. I am committed to the well being of my community and the well being of you!

My career started in the banking industry, which quickly turned into a love of helping clients reach their financial goals. I spent the past 10 years doing financial planning with clients on their road to financial freedom. This is incredibly fulfilling to me.

I am a California native, and have lived in the Bay Area, Southern California and Sacramento. Most recently, as our eldest daughter went off to college at UCLA, we decided it was time to relocate to the beautiful Central Coast.

On any given weekend, you might find me hiking, wine tasting, walking along the beach or kayaking in Avila Bay. I find joy in all of the new adventures in this part of California…except for the stinging jellyfish, ouch!

I have been with Hendershott Wealth Management℠ since its inception in 2014, and am proud of the work we do with our clients. As the Financial Advisor for the Ignite Investing® program, I work with clients who are actively growing their retirement accounts, and want to ignite their financial future. The time I spend with clients is the best part of what I do!

With one child in college and two more headed that direction, I know the challenges that growing families face. Mortgage payments, saving for college and retirement, investing in yourself, and everything life throws our way can be overwhelming. Encouraging and motivating clients, celebrating successes and building trusted relationships along the way is why I become a Financial Advisor.

anything is possible when you have the power to achieve what you truly want!

Hi! I'm Jen

I am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, wife, mother, and friend. And I love working with clients to help them accomplish more with their money.

Before joining Hendershott Wealth Management in 2017, I spent 12 years serving with an independent wealth management firm in Indiana. What I love more than anything else about my role is that I get to work with clients.

Can I share a secret? I’m an analytics aficionado (read: numbers nerd), which means I love how numbers can work to make your money go further. It’s one thing to imagine the life you want, but it means that much more when you have the numbers to back it up.

That’s where my education and experience give me a unique perspective. I was the first woman to graduate from Bethel College with my particular degree in Economics and Finance with a minor in Accounting. This also seemed to be the future for me and I’ve wanted to be a conduit for positive financial outcomes in people’s lives for as long as I can remember.

With Hendershott Wealth Management℠, I can focus my expertise on our collaborative coaching and financial planning. This is my chance to help numbers be fun and fulfilling – and also enormously impactful – for everyone.

My passion is uncovering the path to financial success and seeing the plans become reality and transform lives.
