Gracie Gann | Co-Owner, Investment Advisor
I am proud to be the owner and lead investment advisor at Advantage Retirement, a second-generation wealth management firm located in Springfield, Missouri. Having grown up around this business, I learned early on that true financial planning is about far more than numbers—it’s about relationships, dedication, and helping families build confidence in their future.
Today, I continue to hone our family business by serving individuals and families, with thoughtful, personalized financial strategies. My focus is on creating comprehensive plans that align investments, retirement planning, risk management, and legacy goals into one cohesive strategy. I believe every client deserves clear communication, tailored guidance, and a long-term partner who understands both their financial picture and what matters most to them personally, and that’s Advantage Retirement’s time-tested specialty.
