Building a Secure Financial Future on the Farm

Jillian Carr

Jillian Carr is a seasoned financial advisor whose approach is deeply shaped by her upbringing. Raised on a farm by a father who was both a financial advisor and a cattle farmer, Jillian learned early on the values of hard work, stewardship, and resilience. Her childhood offered a front-row seat to life’s complexities—from navigating family dynamics and divorce to witnessing how illness and injury can disrupt even the best-laid plans.

These experiences fuel her passion for helping others prepare for life’s uncertainties. Today, Jillian specializes in guiding professionals—particularly within the veterinary and agricultural communities—through financial decisions that build long-term security and peace of mind. Grounded by her rural roots and driven by personal lessons learned, she blends empathy with expertise to help clients protect what matters most.

In her session, Financial Planning for Farm Families – Finding Security in Uncertainty, Jillian will explore how to navigate financial challenges unique to farming life, including the impact of marriage, divorce, and family dynamics on financial planning. Learn how to manage debt, structure wealth, and make sound financial decisions that support both your business and your personal well-being.
