Meet Our Team
Josh Bannerman, CFP®
Founder | Managing Partner
With nearly a quarter-century of experience in financial planning, investment planning, and entrepreneurship, Josh Bannerman believes that everyone deserves objective, unbiased advice. The kind of advice that can’t be provided at a “big-box” financial services firm.
That’s why he left the big guys and started Bannerman Wealth to specialize in comprehensive fee-based financial planning, helping clients from across the country enjoy the benefits of clear, simple plans that help them think bigger and achieve better.
Because he loves to share what he’s learned in his career (and have fun!) Josh co-founded the Stacking Benjamins podcast in 2012 with his podcast partner, Joe Saul-Sehy. (If you’ve listened, you’ll recognize Josh as OG.)
Josh is a Gen Xer and firmly believes that family time is just as important—if not more so—than work. He’s in love with his wonderful wife of 20 years, Lissa, and their three kids: Alex, William, and Caroline.
When he’s not creating solutions for clients, you can find Josh golfing at his local golf course, flying his Cirrus airplane, relaxing with the family in Houghton Lake, or officiating college football.

Originally a Texan, Jen now hails from north-central Missouri with her partner, Orin, and their three animals, Jax, Sunny, and Stormy. When she’s not working with clients, she enjoys being outside as much as possible, reading a book at the local winery, traveling, and catching up on the most recent season of Survivor.

Words To Live By
We believe in simplicity and practicing what we preach.
The market cannot be controlled or predicted. We believe the market zigs and zags at a moment’s notice, for no apparent reason, and no one, not even financial advisors, can predict in advance what will happen. That’s why we build your portfolio to fund your long-term financial goals—so it can weather normal market ups and downs.
Stock market advances are permanent—its declines are temporary. It is natural to fear loss, but there’s a profound distinction between volatility and loss. Sometimes, our best advice is to NOT give into fear. That decision may one day be the most important one you made.
There’s no such thing as ‘no risk.’ Retirement portfolios designed around “fixed” and “guaranteed” products are akin to death by a thousand paper cuts. A long-term retirement portfolio needs to have its income rise to combat rising cost of living and preserve purchasing power.
A portfolio is not the same as a plan. You, your family, and your business need a well-thought out plan, one that’s written down, made as specific as possible, and funded by systematic monthly investments no matter the market conditions. A portfolio can be an important part of that plan, but is not enough in and of itself.
Optimism is the only realism. We know it can be tough to have confidence in your financial decisions. That’s why we’re here to support you along every step of the way. We’ll help you make sure your portfolio is well-diversified, your plans are smart, and your loved ones are protected. We’re here for the long term, and it’s going to be great.
