Call Directions Website

Edward Jones-Financial Advisor: Francesca Vanderwall I have earned the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® and Chartered Special Needs Consultant® designations.

I'm a financial advisor who helps individuals and families bring clarity and confidence to their financial lives. My path to this work was shaped early — after losing my mother at 13, I experienced firsthand how profoundly life can change in an instant and how important thoughtful financial guidance can be during difficult moments. That experience ultimately inspired my career in financial advising. Today, I work closely with clients to navigate complex financial decisions and build strategies that evolve with life. As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional, I focus on helping people navigate major life transitions and complex financial situations. Many of the individuals and families I serve are balancing demanding careers, business ownership or significant life changes and are looking for a steady guide to help them make informed decisions. I'm also active in several community and professional organizations focused on leadership, philanthropy and local impact, and I serve on the board of This Girls Story, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering young women. I work hard to create a welcoming, judgment-free environment where clients can ask honest questions, organize their finances and move forward with greater clarity. My husband, Chris, and I are proud to be raising the sixth generation of his family in Plainfield, where we remain deeply invested in the future of our community. Edward Jones is a financial services firm dedicated to serving the needs of individual investors. Member SIPC.

What would happen if you had to retire sooner than expected?

Many people focus on their target retirement date but spend less time preparing for the possibility of an earlier exit due to a job loss, health issue or family caregiving needs.

If you'd like to explore how your retirement strategy would hold up under an unexpected scenario, let's talk. Planning for the "what-ifs" today can help reduce stress tomorrow.

Clients often ask me about the latest IPO. It’s a great opportunity to talk through pricing dynamics, early volatility and why fundamentals matter more than first-day buzz. I can help you stay focused on long-term strategy — not short-term hype.

Initial public offerings (IPOs) tend to attract a lot of investor interest, especially when the company is large and well-known. The excitement can be tempting, but it doesn't always lead to strong investment results. We encourage investors to look beyond the headlines and focus on whether the share...
