Helping people have a solid future

Ann Marie Jerdan is currently a financial planner and insurance agent, but before she entered the business world, she had a career as a concert pianist. When she began taking piano lessons in 5th grade, her parents could not afford the $18.00 per year fee, so the teacher allowed her to pay 50 cents a lesson. Within the first 6 months, she was granted a scholarship to take lessons with a Juillard School teacher.  These scholarships continued through high school while she studied under a Juilliard teacher.

After high school, she attended Juilliard School of Music and Columbia Teachers College and worked in a tax office. Following her studies, she was asked to teach piano at public school in New Rochelle, which she did for 10 years.  In 1952, she married and stayed home to raise her three children, but continued teaching private piano lessons. 

In 1969, Mrs. Jerdan met her second husband who urged her shift her professional focus to business.  She was hired by John Hancock and worked her way up to top insurance agent.  Because many insurance companies began expanding into financial planning, Mrs. Jerdan branched into the field herself, which led her to work for Pinnacle Taxx Advisor, LLC. 

Mrs. Jerdan says she loves helping people with their insurance and financial planning because it makes their life happy. Still learning the business, she recently enrolled in a tax preparation course.
