The Power of a Financial Planning Team
A Personal Perspective from Jill Mollner, MBA, CFP®
With nearly 20 years in the financial planning industry, I’ve seen firsthand how complex and personal financial decisions can be. Working with individuals and families, helping to navigate everything from retirement transitions to multi-generational planning, I’ve learned that having a strong team around you can make a world of difference.
At Cornerstone, I’m proud to be part of a financial planning team bringing depth, structure, and shared purpose to the way we serve our clients. You’re not just working with one advisor—you’re supported by a group of financial planners, professionals in specialized roles, and a dedicated support team, all working together to help you pursue what’s important to you.
Why Choose a Team of Financial Planners Rather Than a Solo-Operator?
Choosing a financial planning team means consistency, experience, and a depth of resources that usually isn’t possible with a single advisor model. At Cornerstone, our collaborative structure means you’re never left wondering who’s watching your plan, who’s handling your request, or what happens when change inevitably occurs.
How Cornerstone’s Team-Based Approach Sets You Up for Success
- Layered Insight and Collaboration
Your financial plan benefits from more than one set of eyes. At Cornerstone, we combine layers of insight from advisors, strategic roles across our team, and connections with strategic partners – collaborating to evaluate strategy, talk through decisions, and proactively look for opportunities that support your long-term goals. - Responsive Support Staff
From scheduling and document processing to prompt follow-ups and building the #CornerstoneCommunity, our support staff plays an essential role in making your experience smooth, efficient, and personal. - Local, Independent Investment Thinking
Our internal Investment Committee meets regularly to review and adjust investment strategies—not based on a distant corporate model, but on local insights, real conversations, and timely market awareness. We also collaborate with fund managers from respected firms like T. Rowe Price and Vanguard to broaden that perspective and keep your plan informed by a wider lens. - Built-In Continuity and Consistency
Whether an advisor retires, transitions roles, or you experience a major life change, our team-based approach ensures that your plan continues without disruption. You’re not starting over—you’re moving forward with a team that already knows you and is ready to support your next chapter.
