about
Jay Chang

Jay brings clarity and thoughtful guidance to help individuals and families navigate their financial lives with confidence. He specializes in simplifying retirement income planning, investment strategy, tax planning, and wealth building—working with professionals, business owners, and families across all wealth stages.

With deep experience in financial advisory, Jay spent formative years at Vanguard and Charles Schwab overseeing substantial client relationships, many spanning over a decade. This long-term approach allows Jay to deeply understand each family's evolving situation, values, and goals—and to help them prepare proactively rather than react to life's changes. He works with entire families, not just one decision-maker, coordinating comprehensive wealth strategies that include trust and estate planning. Often, Jay is brought in by one spouse to ensure the entire family is prepared, protected, and financially confident—eliminating surprises and fear when major life transitions occur.

His entrepreneurial background in real estate, retail, and e-commerce rounds out his perspective on building and protecting wealth. Jay is also passionate about strategic philanthropy and community impact. As a member of the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP), Greater Arizona Chapter, he partners with local nonprofits and charitable organizations as both an advisor and fundraising strategist, helping mission-driven leaders maximize their impact while building sustainable financial foundations.

He brings the same thoughtful, long-term approach to nonprofit governance that he does to family wealth planning. At the core of Jay's work is a belief that trust and alignment matter more than net worth alone. He is committed to transparent, fiduciary guidance that aligns money with values and long-term goals, whether clients are preparing for retirement, managing significant wealth, or leading mission-driven organizations. He listens carefully, asks thoughtful questions, and serves as a trusted strategic partner within his clients' inner circle.

When he's not advising clients, Jay enjoys time with his family traveling, woodworking, and exploring the unpaved roads of Arizona in his 4Runner. He's passionate about food—he lives to eat, not eats to live—loves spending time with his two dogs, and constantly seeks out new experiences that enrich his life.

FAQS
What’s the first step to getting started, and what should I expect during our first conversation?

Start by scheduling a discovery call. Think of it as a mutual interview, not a sales pitch. We’ll explore your goals, assets, and financial vision. If we’re the right fit, our Concierge Team seamlessly handles setup and transfers, ensuring a smooth, tax-efficient transition from day one.

As a fiduciary, how are your investment incentives legally aligned with my personal success?

Farther advisors act in your best interest and are fiduciaries. We’ve eliminated commissions to remove conflicts and use a simple, transparent fee structure. Our growth depends directly on your success — we thrive only when your wealth does.

How does your proprietary technology enhance, rather than replace, human investment expertise?

Our technology amplifies — not replaces — human expertise. The platform manages daily precision tasks, freeing your advisor to focus on strategy and nuance. This blend of advanced automation and human insight ensures your wealth benefits from both innovation and personal guidance.

How do I know my information and my wealth are safe on Farther’s platform?

Farther’s platform uses advanced encryption, continuous monitoring, and a proprietary vault architecture engineered for maximum data integrity. Backed by leading global tech investors like Alphabet’s CapitalG, our systems are designed and vetted to keep your wealth safe.

How do you coordinate my entire financial life — from taxes and estate planning to my complex investments — in one place?

Farther acts as your wealth’s central hub. Our unified platform brings all your accounts together, while your dedicated advisor orchestrates your investment, tax, and estate strategies. The result is a seamless, proactive, and fully coordinated approach to managing every part of your financial life.
