Jonathan Krueger
In the fall of 2012, Jonathan Krueger joined Accelerated Wealth with a vision of creating a truly exceptional experience for his clients. Since 2000, Jonathan has invested in the personal finance industry and has held several executive management positions throughout his career. As a fiduciary, Jonathan maintains his Series 65 registration and uses his intricate knowledge of insurance and investment solutions to provide Accelerated Wealth clients with advanced wealth preservation and legacy continuance strategies. He also maintains his Life & Health licenses in various states.
Jonathan currently serves on Accelerated Wealth's Investment Committee as well as the Advisory Board for Accelerated Wealth Advisors, an SEC Registered Investment Advisory firm. He takes pride in guiding his clients to make informed decisions, avoid costly mistakes, lower their taxes, increase estate size and find money falling through the cracks. Jonathan attributes his success to the high priority he places on being a good steward of the assets entrusted to his care.
In addition to private wealth management, Jonathan holds his Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA) designation to evaluate value acceleration and succession planning for business owners and C-level executive teams. As a business owner, Jonathan understands the importance of combining the concept, effort, and process of succession planning for business owners into a clear, simple strategy. He collaborates to build a business that is highly valuable and transferable through strong human, structural, customer, and social capital. Jonathan currently teaches a value acceleration methodology and exit planning course at two local St. Louis colleges.
Raised in Texas and a long-time resident of Colorado, Jonathan and his wife Andrea moved to St. Louis from Accelerated Wealth's headquarters in Colorado. Outside of the office, Jonathan can be found spending time with family or enjoying the great outdoors via hunting, archery and skiing.
Jason Ingram
Jason is one of the original members of the Accelerated Wealth organization founded in 2007. He is the principle of the Columbia, Missouri office and co-owns the Chesterfield, Missouri office. Jason holds a Series 65 license, which qualifies him to serve as an Investment Advisor Representative (IAR). This designation holds the bearer to a fiduciary commitment to the client, assuring that all recommendations are made in the best interest of the client, with the responsibility to have full transparency in all dealings. He also maintains Life and Health licenses in numerous states.
Jason has the steadfast, unbending belief that one person can make a difference in the world. This belief is reflected in the focused, proactive and logical approach he takes with clients. Jason works to mitigate much of the risk clients face in retirement as they transition from the accumulation phase of their financial lives into the distribution phase. He has built his practice on understanding how taxes may affect his clients, both now and in the future.
An educator at heart, Jason is a faculty member at the University of Missouri's OSHER Learning Institute, Saint Charles Community College and St. Louis Community College. He is a member of the National Ethics Association, serves on the advisory board for the Better Business Bureau and works to support numerous philanthropic organizations.
