Hi there! I'm Jenna VanLeeuwen, a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional and founder of Aligning Wealth. We guide purpose-driven people ready to transform their financial success into meaningful life changes, whether that is retirement, a career pivot, or building a lasting legacy. Our comprehensive approach goes beyond traditional wealth management - we align your financial strategies with your personal values and vision. For many of our clients, this means maximizing tax advantages, building sophisticated retirement income strategies, and managing investments. For others, it may mean expert guidance through liquidity events, business exits, or legacy planning. Most importantly, our partnership empowers you to embrace a rewarding next chapter with confidence and clarity, building upon the same vision and values that have accompanied your success so far. Let’s build something meaningful together, starting with a free 45-minute consultation call. Just hit that contact button to the left or visit my website: www.aligningwealth.com.

I have over 20 years of experience in how financial markets work …and sometimes fail. I recognized a need for personalized and unbiased advice for the average person’s financial planning and investment decisions that does not require an ongoing obligation, unless the client so chooses. That’s why I have built a firm that does not sell any products other than my advice and makes sure that you always know how much you are paying and what you are getting in return. I have made some atypical choices in starting Grand Central Financial Planning with the goal of providing clients a high level of service at a reasonable price. In addition to being an Advice-Only Financial Planner, in my spare time I am the founder of the non-profit Long Island City Youth Sports League (LICYSL.org) and write the local blog in Long Island City, LICtalk.

Let’s navigate this late-capitalist hellscape together. 🔥 I’m a flat-fee, values-driven financial planner who helps people like you figure out what a good, livable version of success looks like—and how to get there with your money. Some of my clients are high earners in tech, wondering how much longer they can (or want to) stay in the game. Others are purpose-driven professionals—therapists, professors, nonprofit leaders—who never expected to make a ton, but still want clarity, security, and options. Whether you’re burned out and thinking about what’s next, or finally reaching stability and ready to make the most of it, I’m here to help you align your finances with your values, your goals, and your actual life. If that sounds like a fit, let’s talk.

I’m Igor Aronov, CFP®, founder of FAR Financial, an independent, fiduciary, advice-only financial planning firm based in Brooklyn, NY. I help business owners, busy professionals, and modern families bring order and clarity to complex financial lives through thoughtful, objective advice on cash flow, taxes, investments, retirement, education funding, business planning and much more. My previous professional life was in design and technology, spending last 20 years as a business owner and a co-founder of FAR Creative, a design and development studio. Leading a business, managing employees, and balancing family responsibilities gave me firsthand experience with the real pressures professionals face when their financial lives become complicated and time is in short supply. That perspective now shapes the way I work with clients: blending technical expertise with empathy and clear communication. My role is to help you see the full picture, make confident decisions, and create a financial structure that supports your life, not the other way around. I am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional and an active member of professional organizations that uphold the highest standards of fiduciary, fee-only planning: FPA, NAPFA, XYPN, Fee-Only Network and Advice-Only Network. I hold a BFA in Photography from the School of Visual Arts and was a winner of illy’s international photographic competition. I live in Brooklyn, NY, with my family and our dog, and I work with clients locally and virtually across the country. Financial planning, for me, is about simplifying complexity and creating a sense of clarity and confidence so you can focus on what matters most in your life. Let’s create a financial plan that fits your story!
