Janice Fier CFP®, AIF®
Why I Choose to Serve Veterinarians: My passion for serving veterinarians stems from a deeply personal connection to animal care and rural life. Born and raised on a century-old farm, I grew up immersed in the rhythms of caring for animals and the land. This upbringing instilled a profound respect for those who dedicate their lives to animal welfare.
A Roots-Inspired Connection: My early experiences on the farm cultivated a deep appreciation for the unique personalities and needs of animals. As a youth, I was actively involved in 4-H and FFA, proudly showing cattle at the county and state fairs. These experiences not only honed my animal care skills but also instilled valuable lessons in responsibility and dedication. This connection extended into adulthood, where I owned and managed a ranching operation breeding internationally recognized American Quarter Horses and registered Simmental beef cattle. Today, my husband Justin and I continue to operate our farm southeast of the Twin Cities, maintaining our strong ties to rural life and animal husbandry.
Bridging Animal Care and Financial Experience: As my professional investment career grew over 15 years, I recognized a gap in specialized financial guidance for veterinarians. I founded Couloir Wealth Advisors, Inc. to bridge this gap, combining my passion for animal welfare with my financial insights. My goal is to provide veterinarians with personalized financial solutions that align with their unique professional challenges and personal aspirations.
Empowering Veterinarians' Financial Journey: The most rewarding aspect of my work is empowering veterinarians to achieve financial clarity and align their life's purpose with their financial goals. I take great joy in crafting personalized financial plans that address the specific needs and aspirations of those in the veterinary field. My deep understanding of both the financial landscape and the veterinary profession allows me to guide my clients with insight and empathy, ensuring they feel supported and informed throughout their journey to financial well-being.
Where am I most at Peace: For me, true peace is found in the embrace of the natural world. Whether I'm horseback riding, biking on winding trails, or hiking wooded paths with my husband and our German Shepherd, I find solace in the outdoors. These activities rejuvenate my spirit and remind me of life's simple joys and the companionship of loved ones. It's in these moments, surrounded by nature's beauty, that I feel most grounded and at peace.
