Jessica Sharpe

Jessica Sharpe serves as a Partnership Success Manager at Waverly Advisors, where she guides firms through the onboarding process, from initial planning through client consent. She works closely with each firm to support a smooth and confident transition into Waverly. Known for her approachable communication style, collaborative mindset, attention to detail, and positive energy, Jessica is dedicated to helping others navigate change and feel at home as they become part of the Waverly family.

Jessica has a personal connection to the integration experience. Her husband, Preston, is also an advisor at Waverly and joined the Firm through the Peachtree City acquisition in 2024. This firsthand perspective strengthens the empathy and insight she brings to firms throughout the onboarding journey.

Jessica began her career in financial services at a local credit union, where she specialized in retirement and investment services with a focus on IRAs. She has since served in a variety of roles, including administrator, auditor, team leader, business analyst, and program manager, building a strong foundation in operations, process improvement, and client relations.

Outside of work, Jessica enjoys embracing her role as a theater mom. She and Preston frequently volunteer with local theater organizations and support community productions. The Sharpe family also enjoys spending time together, trying new recipes, and planning adventures with their three children, Scarlet, Reagan, and Wesley.

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.
