About Me

Meet Joe Allen

My name is Joe Allen. I am a father, husband, firefighter, and financial planner who specializes in helping New Jersey's public servants make the most of their benefits and build real wealth.

My journey into financial planning started with a simple frustration: As I planned for my own family's future, I could not find a planner who truly understood the PFRS pension system, deferred compensation options, or the unique financial challenges we face in public service. Most planners wanted to sell me products I did not need and could not answer basic questions about my benefits.

So I decided to become the planner I wished I had.

What Makes Me Different

I'm One of You
As a public employee in New Jersey, I live the same reality you do. I understand shift work, providing for family, and the nuances of our pensions.

No Sales, Just Advice
I'm a fee-only financial planner, which means I never earn commissions from selling products. You pay for advice, not hidden fees. It is that simple.

Pension Expert
I have made it my mission to master the complexities of PFRS, PERS, TPAF, and SPRS. From tier benefits to retirement timing, I speak your language.

Family First
Everything I do is guided by one principle: helping families like mine—and yours—achieve financial security. Whether you are just starting out or approaching retirement, I am here to help you protect what matters most.

Let's Connect

I believe every public servant deserves honest, expert financial guidance without the sales pressure. If you are ready to take control of your financial future with someone who understands your world, let's talk.

No products to push. No pressure. Just a real conversation about your goals and how I can help you achieve them.
