FCCS-Ramsey classes are not designed to and do not give specific financial advice or endorse any specific provider. However, Ramsey Solutions does have local providers that they recommend. Dave Ramsey and his team launched the SmartVestor program more than 20 years ago to match people with these pros.

Investing wisely and aligning with the skills you learn in Financial Peace University is key to success with Ramsey’s baby steps. The SmartVestor Pro who assists our course is John Hoke. John is a fourth generation St. Petersburg resident and a Company Commander in the US Army Reserves. He has worked in institutional money management for Raymond James and as a portfolio analyst for a large RIA in Lakeland, FL. No matter where you’re at in the baby steps, he is here to help.  You can learn more about John and his team at https://www.jaydolanfinancial.com/ .

*SmartVestor is an advertising and referral service for investment professionals operated by The Lampo Group, LLC d/b/a Ramsey Solutions. SmartVestor provides referrals to financial professionals of LPL Financial, LLC (LPL). SmartVestor is not a current client of LPL for brokerage or advisory services. Financial professionals of LPL pay SmartVestor cash compensation for these referrals, which creates the incentive for SmartVestor to make these referrals, resulting in a conflict of interest.
