I am a CFP® professional and the founder of BRJ Wealth Management. I specialize in helping busy individuals and families build, manage, and preserve wealth through tax efficient wealth planning and investment management strategies. With over a decade of experience, I have developed and refined a process designed to help people achieve financial freedom so they can enjoy what matters most. Before founding BRJ Wealth Management in 2022, I helped start what became a top 5% producing advisory practice at LPL Financial among over 19,000 financial advisors nationwide. I was responsible for creating holistic strategies to meet the goals of over 200 individuals and families. I also led the investment management team where we oversaw $160 million assets under management of client portfolios. Outside of crafting financial plans, my greatest joy comes from spending time with my wonderful family. My wife, Kelli, is a dedicated elementary school teacher right here in Brighton. We've been happily married since 2016 and are kept wonderfully busy by our two daughters, Kaia (3.5) and Brecklyn (1.5). Their adorable "frenemy" dynamic provides endless entertainment! After a decade away, we're thrilled to be back in Michigan and have settled into our new home in Brighton. We're actively unpacking and eagerly reconnecting with family and friends, excited to become an integral part of the Brighton community. When I have a moment to myself, I love being outdoors – whether it's exploring local parks with the girls, playing sports, or enjoying time on the water. Even in the Michigan winters, I continue my lifelong passion for ice hockey, playing weekly in a league.

Julie Quick, CFP®, BFA™, CDFA® is founder of Cultivate Financial Wellness, a virtual practice where she caters her services to helping women all over the US navigate the financial challenges experienced before, during and after divorce. Working with a wide variety of clients throughout her 25+ year career has taught her that financial planning is about much more than numbers—it’s about paying attention to the values, emotions and life experiences of each individual person. Women, in particular, face unique financial challenges. These may include the long-term effects of the gender wage gap, time out of the workforce to care for family members, and longer life expectancies - all of which can be compounded by a divorce. Julie harnesses her personal and professional experience to help women move from feelings of uncertainty and insecurity to financial empowerment. Julie lives in Howell, Michigan, with her firefighter husband, Jeff, and their dog, Luger. When she isn’t working she enjoys all things fitness, traveling and working on home-improvement projects.

Our firm’s mission is to help physicians achieve financial peace of mind. We work with you to develop a personalized financial plan that covers your entire financial picture and reflects your unique situation, as well as the unique aspects of financial life as a physician. We then help you manage your investments and implement your financial plan, serving as an ongoing accountability partner and guide to make adjustments over time as life changes. We give you the confidence that you’re in control of your finances and are making the right decisions, while freeing up time and headspace to spend on the things you enjoy. We do our best work with people who recognize the value of financial planning (in addition to investments) and want an ongoing relationship with an advisor, rather than one-time or hourly work. Established Physicians – Organize and manage the growing complexity of your financial life. This includes getting clear on goals, maximizing employee benefits, college planning, reviewing insurance coverage and estate plans, optimizing how you save and invest for various goals as your income rises, and detailed retirement planning to put you on track and make sure you remain there. Preparing for Retirement – Navigate the retirement transition. This includes understanding whether you have enough money to retire, turning your investment portfolio into a “paycheck” in retirement, tax planning to minimize the amount that goes to the IRS, figuring out the best strategy for claiming Social Security, and making healthcare decisions from Medicare to long-term care insurance. In addition to working with clients, we host a personal finance podcast for physicians called The Physician’s Guide to Financial Wellness. Feel free to listen or subscribe here.

I have a BA in finance from the University of Notre Dame and an MBA in finance and economics from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. Outside of work, I most enjoy spending time with my wife and our four children (three boys and a girl). When not with them, you can find me working out, reading, golfing, listening to podcasts, or watching sports (especially EPL soccer and Notre Dame football).
