Jackie Jones“ and Melissa joined forces in 1998 and she is very proud to be part of Melissa’s business as it grows and flourishes with satisfied clients achieving their life long dreams.   Jackie brings a wealth of experience having lived and worked in England and the Middle East before moving to the Milton area with her family.  Jackie’s genuine concern for each client’s well being shows itself repeatedly in her concern and interest in our clients and attention to detail.  Jackie takes care of running of the office, organizes customer appreciation and seminar events and the daily administration of your plan so that Melissa can focus on financial planning, tax and investment issues. Jackie strongly believes in “giving back” and has been a volunteer in various ways supporting her community since she arrived in 1982. To relax, she works in her garden.”
