Our Team

Jalene Hahn, CFP®

My journey to become a Financial Planner began after my father died and my mother moved to Florida. My mom was appalled at the treatment her widowed friends received from their financial professionals and encouraged me to look into the field. As I learned about the profession, it became clear to me that this was where my talents would be most useful. While my youngest son was in his last year of pre-school, I started interning with an advisor to get some real life experience before starting the CFP credentialing process. I obtained the CFP® credential and became a fee-only NAPFA Registered Financial Advisor. My primary goal is to help you become good stewards of your time, talent and treasure in your journey to reach your full potential as a human being.

Many people seek guidance in times of crisis and sometimes the real solution is not monetary but perspective. When faced with stressful situations what's often most important is having a trusted "Thinking Partner" that can help keep you safe and help you clarify your choices. My clients are very diverse, but they are all life-long learners, involved in their communities, authentic and coachable. Most often they come in while transitioning to a single state either through death or divorce. Through those transitions it helps to have an objective perspective on your financial situation and the impacts on your lifestyle choices. I also enjoy working with pre-retirees as we vision what form retirement will take and how best to utilize resources to live a life that matters and leaves a meaningful legacy.

My primary geographic base is Columbus, Bloomington, Indianapolis, and Central Indiana. While technology makes working with clients remotely possible, I feel I best serve my clients by face to face interactions in the beginning of a relationship. I do continue to work with established clients that move.

My husband and I are in the process of transitioning to empty-nesters. We have one son at Purdue and the other is a Senior at Columbus East High School. I am currently active with the Columbus East High School Speech Team as a judge and fundraising coordinator, help with various Boy Scout initiatives and participate in my church choir. I enjoy being a part of the Columbus community. Over the years I have been involved in the Young Mothers Educational Development (Y-MED) program, Bartholomew County Step Ahead, a variety of child care related initiatives, the Book Buddy Program, a FIRST Lego League Coach, and Zonta International. I have served as Chair of the Bartholomew County Financial Literacy Coalition as well as Chair of the Bartholomew County Women’s Giving Circle at the Heritage Fund. In my spare time I like to read, try new recipes, and travel.

Warren Ward, CFP®

Warren began his career in finance in 1991, working for a regional brokerage firm. He later began working as a Financial Planner for a bank in Columbus, IN, before opening his private practice in 1999. By opening his own practice, Warren was able to move to the same side of the table as his clients, free to make recommendations without any corporate influences that may or may not be in the client’s best interest. In 2016 he started easing toward retirement and transferred ownership to Jalene.

In addition to Investment Management, Warren’s specialties include Retirement Income Planning, Maximizing Social Security Benefits, navigating Medicare choices and complex financial planning situations. He is also a local expert on college financial aid issues. In addition to being a NAPFA Registered Financial Advisor, he is a member of the Indiana Society of Accountants and the Columbus Economic Development Board. Warren has also been quoted in local and national publications.

Warren is dedicated to community involvement and has been involved with the Rotary, Columbus Area Arts Council, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Su CASA, First Presbyterian Church, Volunteers in Medicine and the Book Buddy Program. In his spare time he manages a local rock band, 40 Years of College.
