Jeff Groezinger

Jeff Groezinger joined Waverly Advisors in November of 2024 following the acquisition of Buckingham Advisors by Waverly Advisors, LLC. As a wealth advisor at Waverly, Jeff brings many years of experience working with entrepreneurs and individual clients incorporating over 30 yearsโ€™ experience in tax and tax strategies. Jeff particularly enjoys exploring tax-favorable ways to satisfy clients’ charitable goals as well as minimizing taxes over a multiple year horizon. He is a firm believer in the phrase, โ€œItโ€™s not what you make, but what you keep after taxes!โ€ That is a key component to a successful financial plan.

When not assisting clients with achieving their goals, he spends time playing golf, competing in triathlons, continuing to develop his interest in photography, and as a homage to his father, is hoping to learn how to play a banjo! He and his wife Elaine also enjoy regular trips to Colorado to visit their son and enjoy the mountains.

Serving with Purpose

A Culture of Connection

Waverly takes its name from a meadow of quaking aspen trees, an ecosystem where individual trees are connected by a shared root system. Since 1999, that idea has inspired our firm: strong relationships, shared values, and the belief that we are better together.

Comprehensive Wealth Management, Connected by Design

Like an aspen grove, every part of a clientโ€™s financial life is interconnected. As an independent Registered Investment Advisor (RIA), we bring together investment management, financial planning, tax strategy, trust and estate planning, and family office services to create coordinated solutions that simplify complexity and support long-term success.

A Culture Rooted in Service

Our culture of stewardship is guided by Integrity, Family, Grace, Team, Drive, Empathy, and Community. These values shape every client relationship, every decision, and every interaction. They are the foundation that keeps our people connected and ensures a consistent, high-touch experience across the firm.

The Difference Is Our People

While many firms offer financial advice, our greatest differentiator is our people. Waverlyโ€™s advisors, planners, investment professionals, tax specialists, and support teams work together to deliver thoughtful guidance and personalized solutions. It is this collaborative approach, and our commitment to serving clients with excellence and care, that transforms financial advice into lasting relationships.
