About

Gap Financial Services is a state-registered advisory firm managing about $100.6 million for roughly 85 clients, serving individual and high‑net‑worth investors as well as sponsors of qualified retirement plans. The firm provides investment management, financial planning (including a comprehensive planning subscription), and retirement‑plan consulting, and it implements strategies either directly or through third‑party money managers.

The firm primarily constructs passively oriented portfolios using index mutual funds and ETFs, with client‑specific investment policy statements formed from goals, time horizons, and risk tolerance; fundamental analysis is used when completing investment analyses as part of planning work. Gap Financial also combines outside manager selections with an options‑writing program (short‑term puts and calls) as an income‑generation overlay for certain accounts.

Notable differences from many peers include a $500,000 minimum for in‑house investment management and a structured comprehensive planning offering that uses upfront fees plus an ongoing monthly/quarterly retainer. The adviser team includes multiple CFP® professionals with deep retirement‑planning and institutional experience, and the firm participates in Schwab’s institutional custody and support program for execution and operational services.

Jarrod started his working life as an investment advisor with a national brokerage firm before becoming a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®), assisting our nation’s veterans as a Senior Financial Planner for USAA.

As his professional career advanced, he served as Director of Business Development and Senior Planner for one of Texas’ largest and most profitable Registered Investment Advisors. In recent years, he also acted as Partner and Senior Advisor to a specialized private wealth management firm before founding Gap Financial Services, a firm birthed from his desire to bring honesty and integrity to all clients seeking to build their financial legacies. In 2019, he accepted an appointment from the Texas Lt. Governor to serve on the Texas Prepaid Higher Education Tuition Board, a group of experts dedicated to managing the Texas Tuition Promise Fund and Texas 529 Savings Plan. He graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington with a BBA in Finance. Jarrod has been married for twenty-nine years and has one high-school aged daughter.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
