In episode 24 of our podcast “Advisor Edge: The GVA Way,” James J. Spinelli, ChFC sits down with Jared Krog, founder of Opulence Wealth Management, to discuss his journey from military service to building an independent advisory firm and why he chose to partner with Great Valley Advisor Group. The conversation explores how independence, supported by GVA’s infrastructure and advisor community, enables growth while keeping client service at the center of the practice. Key Takeaways:

• Transitioning from a more captive platform to the independent space gave Jared the flexibility to build a firm centered on fiduciary advice and deeper financial planning for his clients.
• Leveraging the infrastructure, support, and Asset Management capabilities of GVA enables the firm to scale efficiently by allowing the team to focus more time on clients and business growth.
• Being part of the GVA advisor community provides access to experienced peers and meaningful collaboration across the network.
