I wake up every morning grateful for the opportunity to help others achieve their financial goals and pursue their dreams. I guide my clients as they save for and live in retirement, and thoughtfully plan their estates and legacies. I work tirelessly to provide guidance that has a meaningful and lasting impact on their lives.
Using an established, personalized process, I believe it’s essential to begin by truly understanding what matters most to you. That’s why I start with your story — your story shapes the plan, your values shape the strategy, and your purpose shapes your role in the future. This approach becomes the foundation for building financial strategies that align with your life and aspirations. Through ongoing communication, I ensure your plan evolves as life changes.
I am proud to serve an incredible group of clients, many of whom have become dear friends. I especially enjoy working with women through every stage of life — whether you are single or married, raising children, caring for parents, grieving the loss of a spouse or navigating divorce. Ladies, I want to celebrate your successes and stand beside you during life’s more challenging moments.
Faith plays a meaningful role in shaping values, beliefs and ethical principles for many individuals. I help clients align their faith and values with their financial decisions with my CKA® or Certified Kingdom Advisor® designation. Together, we can intentionally invest in ways that contribute positively to society while remaining aligned with your beliefs.
As a former Edward Jones client, my career as a financial advisor blends my corporate, entrepreneurial and personal experiences with a genuine passion for serving others. Returning home to Baltimore to care for my mother after her Alzheimer’s diagnosis was an honor, serving as her caregiver during her time of need. Edward Jones’ long-standing alliance with the Alzheimer’s Association is especially meaningful to me.
Outside of work, I’m an avid Baltimore Ravens fan, scuba diver and musician — I sing and play keyboards in a band. I was also a proud adoptive dog mom to Mollie from Louisiana, whom I affectionately say had a Southern bark. Above all, I cherish spending time with my family.
I would be honored to help you live the financial life you envision. To begin the conversation, please contact me at Brenda.Fried@EdwardJones.com.
