Jill, who has twice been awarded the Five Star Wealth Manager Award, established Hansen Financial MV in 2009. She did so out of motivation to best help her clients discover their deepest desires for a successful life. As a respected financial planner in Martha’s Vineyard, she helps her clients pursue their goals like sending their kids to college, planning for retirement confidently knowing they can maintain their current lifestyle, getting that dream house in the sun, and taking care of their families even after they are gone. Today, she works with some of the most wonderful and outstanding people imaginable; many of them have their own businesses, are looking to grow their wealth, and are at or nearing retirement age. Jill only wants to grow; if she could, she would clone those types of clients who are truly good people, knowing that through helping them, she is helping our world to be in a better place.
Jill’s Roots
Jill’s family first came to Martha’s Vineyard when she was 11 years old. They loved it so much that her parents (both teachers) decided to build a home here. With her parents’ hard work, dedication, and her dad’s vision, the “summer house” on the Vineyard became a reality.
Jill and her husband, Oscar, moved to Martha’s Vineyard full time in 2004 to raise their kids. Jill and Oscar (a 737 captain for United Airlines) decided after the plane crashes of 9/11 that they needed a safe place for their children, Oscar and Kate, to grow. Since Jill’s entire family lives here now (although some only seasonally), Oscar and Kate have grown up surrounded by the love of many family members.
Her parents’ journey to Martha’s Vineyard, and her own family’s permanent relocation here, gave Jill what she considers one of her greatest life lessons: If you want something badly enough, you can do just about anything. It may not be fun, and you will have to make sacrifices, but you are in control of your destiny.
