When Christy first joined The Rummage Group in 2016, she had personally been working with a financial advisor for 10 years. Her advisor helped her make sense of her late father’s estate and position her mother to live in the best possible situation, given her goals and resources.

The goal of our team is to offer consultative services to financial advisors. Christy’s passion is to help advisors on a personal level through discovery of each person’s unique story, much like advisors help their clients. As she gets to know each advisor, she offers authentic advice, looking at each situation against a backdrop of an industry that is in a constant state of flux. Her unique ability to connect with others and her transparent communication skills, coupled with her prior career as a CPA and management consultant, has led to her success. Christy has helped many advisors find happiness within the industry’s ten different models.
