Running a financial firm since 2007, Joanna Amberger has been dedicated to providing comprehensive planning for her clients. With a background as a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, Joanna had the education and experience to discuss estate planning as it related to her clients’ financial plans. However, she found herself limited in discussing the intricate legal details. Many clients sought her advice on estate planning and asked if she could handle these needs directly.
In response, Joanna went to law school to bridge the gap. She encountered numerous clients with outdated estate plans and disconnected assets, which highlighted the need for well-coordinated estate planning. Today, Joanna ensures that every estate plan is properly funded and up-to-date, providing a safe space for clients to discuss their needs and concerns.
Joanna believes in maintaining a down-to-earth approach and tries not to take herself too seriously, fostering a welcoming and relaxed environment for her clients. This combination of financial expertise, legal knowledge, and a compassionate attitude makes her a trusted advisor for many families planning for their futures.
Joanna Amberger was raised across the U.S. in a military household, she holds degrees in Fine Art Photography, an MBA in Finance and Entrepreneurship, and a law degree from the University of Hawaii. Joanna founded 3 Financial Group in 2007, an ongoing financial advisory firm, and later established 3FG Law to provide comprehensive estate planning services.
