Our Company Values
For those who are looking for financial advice, we realize the available options are many and deciding who to work with is a challenging problem. Listed below are our Company Values which we hope will give you a better understanding of how we operate.
- People Matter – We believe that each person is innately valuable and worthy of respect and honor. We believe that relationships matter and that business is relational, top to bottom. People First, Money Second is a priority statement that places people and relationships ahead of financial matters.
- Integrity Matters – We believe that integrity and truth matter. We believe we need to conduct our business in such a way that we are above reproach. We believe suitability and ethical practices come from placing a high value on other people and their needs before our own.
- Communication Matters – We believe that communication with our client partners builds and maintains the trust that is necessary for business relationships to reach their full potential. We believe that our client partners deserve the type of communication that is frequent, timely, truthful, & relevant.
- Service Matters – We believe that good service is practical and that great service is necessary in the pursuit of business excellence. We will pursue perfection and in so doing “catch a little excellence along the way.” (Vince Lombardi)

Jeff Goodman
Product Support Specialist
Jeff Goodman, a Warrenville, IL native, earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in marketing from Taylor University while involved in performing arts and four years playing football. After working with one of the largest investment management firms in the country, he realized an unfortunate gap in financial education for those preparing for retirement. Over the last decade he’s sought to help people uncover ways to potentially grow their assets while reducing risk. He believes it is not only what you make, but what you keep, that creates long term wealth. At Kabri Financial he works behind the scenes, specializing in product positioning and analysis, working toward helping people worry less about money.
He is a husband to his lovely bride of (close to) 7 years, a father of three (and one on the way!), and part-time staff as Sports Ministry Coordinator at Grace Church of Dupage, where his family is heavily involved.

After honing his skills out of college with a position at a major insurance company for nearly 10 years, Justin jumped into the retail space and used the knowledge gained by working inside the walls of an insurance carrier to help clients experience the retirement they’ve always wanted. Justin has a focus on advanced planning utilizing life insurance solutions. Premium financing, leveraged solutions, estate and estate tax planning, business insurance and high end income planning are all areas of expertise.

Justin and his wife Jennifer have been married for 14 years and have 2 children, Jameson (13) and Juliana (9) along with their 3 dogs. The children are heavily involved in baseball and cheerleading, so most of his free time is spent at a baseball or football field. If there’s any time left after that, he enjoys playing golf and watching the Cardinals or Vikings play.
Plan For Your Future
There is no one “best place” to put your retirement money because each individual and couple has unique requirements, different tolerances for risk, and need their money at different times. Likewise, there is no one place to keep your money that fits everyone for exactly the same reasons. Your unique circumstances must be taken into consideration if you seek to find the “most favorable place” for your retirement money. This is where we can be of service.
