About Me

Hi, I'm Jing, the founder of Neat Financial Planning. My vision is to provide the kind of financial advice I would want for my family and friends. I firmly believe effective and affordable financial planning should be available to everyone and strive to make financial planning more accessible.

I was born and raised in China, where both of my parents worked in the financial industry. Growing up, money and investment were never a taboo at our dinner table. I vividly recall the early 90s when my parents enthusiastically dived into the then-emerging Chinese stock market. They would eagerly follow stock prices through TV and newspaper, and host lively evening discussions with friends about the market trends. Although they eventually withdrew from stock picking and market timing, their excitement and openness left a lasting impression on me and sparked my interest in investing.

I started my career journey at Deloitte as a public accountant and later transitioned into various roles in accounting and corporate finance. In 2013, I moved to the United States to pursue my MBA at UCLA Anderson School of Business. As a graduate student without a steady income, especially in a new country, I had to be particularly mindful of my personal finances. During this time, I was also unimpressed by the sales-oriented financial advisors I met. I later joined the Personal Financial Management unit of Goldman Sachs in 2019. My time at Goldman Sachs solidified my belief and passion for financial planning. I enjoyed working with my clients and cherished the trust they placed in me. Yet, I also realized that I could offer more valuable and customized services to my clients outside the restraints and limitations of a large financial institution. Disillusioned with the industry's focus on chasing Assets Under Management (AUM) and driven to make financial planning more accessible, I decided to forge my own path.

I currently reside in Falls Church, Virginia, with my wonderful husband and son, who are the biggest source of my joy. During my free time, I enjoy reading, practicing yoga, and trying out new places. We've also made it a tradition to visit China, Kentucky, and Michigan to create fond and lasting memories with our extended families.
