Jeremy Zizmor
Board Member
Jeremy is the founder of Assurance Family Partners, a company whose mission is to assist and empower individuals and families by helping them manage their personal day-to-day finances.
An accountant with extensive public and corporate experience, Jeremy is in the unique position to help families because he has been there himself: understanding his grandmother’s wish to age at home in comfort, and her concern that she needed help doing so, he assisted with her personal finances during her later years. What began as an extra set of eyes on her monthly bills, writing out checks, and weekly trips to the bank and post office, turned into full-time management of her personal finances. As a result, she was able to age in place, while confident that her financial house remained in order.
