I didn’t know this at the time, but my career path was already set in action when I was just a child. It all started back when my mom and dad gave me 50 cents a week for my allowance and taught me to give half of it to our church and save the other half. As you can imagine, young Jacob was not too pleased with this arrangement. My friends were given $20 or even $100 for their allowance without having to do chores to earn it, and there I was, making 50 cents for cleaning toilets. 

Now, with many more years of wisdom and experience behind me, I can see that my parents gave me a gift—they showed me the value of a dollar and the importance of giving and saving (although I have also learned the joy of spending and investing into things I love). Add that to my natural skill with numbers and my passion for helping others and building relationships, and there it was, the perfect career for me.

The Journey

After earning my bachelor’s degree in business management from Edgewood College, I spent a handful of years in various roles, including working as a legislative aid for the Wisconsin State Assembly. I eventually came back to my love of numbers and joined Rosemeyer Management Group, a firm founded by my father, James Rosemeyer, when he saw a need for relationship-based comprehensive wealth management. 

Now I am co-owner and chief executive officer, working one-on-one with my clients to help them navigate the financial decisions they face and provide them with personalized strategies to help them grow and preserve their wealth. I focus on resourcing and educating my clients, not just handing them a plan and sending them on their way. I’m passionate about giving them an understanding of their finances so they can see the possibilities of where their money can take them—to a more happy, secure, stress-free future. 

A Fulfilling Career

My job is satisfying because it’s a joy to help my clients achieve their dreams and do everything they hope to, whether it’s giving, saving, or spending. There’s just nothing like celebrating with a client when they learn they can retire the way they want.

And since I’ve always looked up to my dad and wanted to follow in his footsteps, I’m motivated to keep moving forward in my work to improve life not just for myself but for those around me. I work hard every day not just to carry on his legacy, but also to glorify God with my work and provide for my own family.
