MJC Financial Fitness founder Michael Chrisler is an experienced advisor, having spent nearly 15 years working in the financial technology industry. During that time he trained thousands of advisors on how to effectively use technology to create a better client experience. The importance of offering clients a full financial wellness picture was always stressed. Today he is able to take that experience and use it to help his clients as a fee-only financial advisor. He’s particularly passionate about helping young families and creative freelancers — people he often saw overlooked by financial advisors in the past. His goal is to make financial planning more accessible and less scary, so his clients can start building toward the life they want. Michael is a member of the XY Planning Network, the National Association of Personal Financial Planners (NAPFA), and the Fee-Only Advisor Network. Michael lives in Chicago with his wife Brittany and their two sons. Michael enjoys spending quality time playing video games with his sons, practicing martial arts, and being the IT support for his entire family.

MJC Financial Fitness was founded to give financial advice to people at every stage of life, regardless of their current income or savings.
The idea came to founder Michael Chrisler after spending nearly 15 years working in the financial technology industry. While his team worked hard to train the advisors of multimillion-dollar clients, he couldn’t help but think there were people who needed the advice even more — people like his own friends and neighbors. He started thinking about families who wanted to save for the future or freelancers who were unsure when their next paycheck was coming.
This is why MJC Financial Fitness was created. It is here to give financial advice to those who need it — because everyone deserves a way to plan for the future.
