"A financial plan is only as good as its execution," says Jared Johnson, CFP®, Wealth Manager and Shareholder at Echo Wealth Management. "My role is to make sure great strategy turns into real-world outcomes."

With nearly eight years at Echo Wealth Management, Jared sits at the intersection of financial planning and investment execution. As a shareholder and a key steward of portfolio implementation, he helps ensure that every investment decision reflects not just market conditions, but each client’s broader goals, tax considerations, and long-term vision.

At Echo, execution isn’t an afterthought—it’s a core part of delivering confidence and clarity to clients.

A Team-Based Approach Built for Clients

"Our collaboration as a team is built on trust, transparency, and shared accountability," Jared explains. "Every portfolio is a strategic extension of the client’s financial plan—not a standalone set of trades."

Rather than operating in silos, Echo Wealth Management takes a fully integrated approach. Wealth managers, associate wealth managers, and client services associate work together to ensure continuity and responsiveness. This structure allows the firm to move quickly while staying aligned with each client’s evolving goals.

From the very beginning, clients are introduced to the Echo Dashboard—a private, secure digital platform that integrates cash flow, retirement accounts, and investments in one place. Accessible anytime via desktop or mobile, the Dashboard gives both clients and advisors a shared, real-time view of the full financial picture.

"At a minimum, we review and rebalance portfolios monthly," Jared notes. "But when there are meaningful market or policy changes—like tariff announcements or shifts in tax legislation—we respond thoughtfully. Sometimes that means acting immediately. Other times, it means waiting to avoid unnecessary tax consequences. The right decision is always client-specific."

Responsive When Life—and Markets—Change

That same discipline applies when a client’s personal circumstances shift.

"Whether it’s an inheritance, a career change, or the decision to buy a second home, we reassess quickly," Jared says. "Clients don’t wait weeks to see their strategy updated. They see action."

This responsiveness reflects Echo’s concierge-level service model. Internal systems and shared documentation allow any team member to step in seamlessly, understand a client’s situation, and provide timely guidance without missing context.

"Our clients trust that we’re paying attention," Jared adds. "They know their plan isn’t static—it’s actively managed as their life evolves."

The Echo Dashboard: Transparency, Simplicity, and Confidence

"When I think about the Echo Dashboard, two words come to mind: transparency and simplicity," Jared says. "It shows where a client stands today and where they’re headed. It’s the roadmap."

Clients can view real-time account activity, monitor progress toward goals, and engage at the level that suits them best—whether that means diving into details or focusing on the big picture. Wealth Managers tailor conversations accordingly, ensuring each client feels informed without feeling overwhelmed.

Unlike many traditional tools that rely heavily on probability-based assumptions, the Echo Dashboard is built on cash-flow-based planning.

"That approach gives us a clearer, more practical view of how a client’s financial life will actually unfold over time," Jared explains. "It helps clients understand not just whether their plan works, but how it supports the life they want to live."
