Jeffrey Kikel

Hello, My name is Jeff Kikel, and I have been a financial advisor and wealth manager for over 30 years.

For the last 10 years, I have owned my independent advisory practice, which I initially built in partnership with another individual and subsequently sold to them in 2022. In 2023, I launched Freedom Day Wealth Management to focus on working with Professionals, Business Owners, and individuals in the tech space in the Austin, TX area. Outside of the Wealth Management space, I also own three other businesses in Real Estate, Coworking, and Media/Publishing. This experience enables me to assist business owner clients in understanding how to exit their businesses successfully. I am the author of 14 books in the Retirement and Business categories, helping individuals learn more about the subjects that I have spent 30 years becoming an expert in. My most recent book, Overcoming the Retirement Trap, tells the story of how I transitioned from a corporate employee to launching my own business, which eventually led to my "Freedom Day" - the first day I had a work-optional lifestyle. In the book, I share the 8-Step process that I developed to help both readers and clients reach their own Freedom Days. Working with my wife and business partner Crystal, we get to work with clients everyday while having the freedom to travel anywhere in the world we wish and work with clients on multiple continents. When we are not working, we travel, cook, watch old movies, and read and watch Mysteries.
