Edward Jones - Associate: Melissa Derr

Edward Jones - Associate: Melissa Derr Edward Jones is a financial - services firm dedicated to serving the needs of individual investors. I'm a Financial Advisor, Wife, Mom, and Yaya (aka grandma).

I started out in this business 17 yrs ago as an Office Administrator. I knew nothing about finances beyond balancing my checkbook. (I'm kidding, sort of) Working for Edward Jones has changed my life, I've learned so much that I wasn't taught in school. I became a Financial Advisor, because I know I can't be the only one that didn't know any of this stuff. I want to help you through all the stages

in your life. From starting a first account, to saving for college, saving for retirement, transitioning into retirement, traveling the world and leaving a legacy. Whatever your goals may be, I want to help you achieve them. Financial investing and creating financial strategies can seem overwhelming, together we can plan for your future. (And it is not just for the rich.) My Branch Office Administrator, Margaret Waters, and myself are both deeply committed to serving our clients. Please don't hesitate to contact either of us anytime with questions. We are currently accepting clients. Please call or stop by my office, or visit www.edwardjones.com/Melissa-Derr for more information. Member SIPC.

Edward Jones’ new research with Gallup shows something powerful: Only 16% of Americans are financially fulfilled, meaning their finances support the life they want. But financial wellbeing isn’t defined by income or net worth alone. It’s driven by confidence, alignment with personal values and a sense of security and direction.

If this is something you’d be interested in, let’s connect. I’m here to help you make your money work for you.
