Company History 




Since 1994 Jeff Bush and his former founding partner, Barry Waronker had a vision to focus on providing financial strategies designed to help pre-retirees and retirees work toward their goals. In January 2001, they turned that vision into reality when they established Informed Family Financial Services and opened its doors. Barry has since retired from Informed Family, after providing the firm with many years of dedicated service to their clients.

In 2016, Steven Jablonski joined the Informed Family Financial team. In addition to being a financial advisor, Steve is the firm's Riskalyze Strategist. He also carries the designation of Certified Financial Planner.

In 2019, Informed Family, with the coaching of a consultant firm, developed and branded their very own process, The WellSpring FORMula. The goal of this unique process is to take all the pieces of your financial puzzle and put them in place. Informed Family utilizes a proprietary process that integrates wealth management with risk and debt management, income and tax planning, and philanthropy for successful families, professionals, and business owners. The WellSpring FORMula is designed to continually adjust and monitor your critical life and financial events to keep your plan on track.

Informed Family celebrated their 20th Anniversary on January 1, 2021.  During this time, Steve also became a partner of the firm. Under the new company structure,  Jeff assumed the role of CEO and Chief Financial Officer, while Steve took on the titles of President and Executive Secretary.

In the Summer of 2022, Informed Family announced the acquisition of Strategic Wealth Advisory located in Birdsboro.  The practices merged under the Informed Family Financial Services brand, acquiring three staff members and a pair of offices in Reading and the Lehigh Valley.
