Meet Matt Siers!

Matt is a Wealth Management Advisor at Jacobs Financial who believes financial planning should be educational, approachable, and centered around what matters most to each individual and family. His path to the financial industry was anything but traditional, bringing with it a unique perspective that clients truly appreciate.

Before becoming an advisor, Matt spent 20 years in education as a high school math teacher. He earned his bachelor's degree in Mathematics Education from St. Cloud State University and later completed a master's degree in Teaching and Learning from St. Mary's University. While he enjoyed helping students learn and grow, he eventually discovered a new way to make an impact by helping people gain confidence in their financial lives.

As a Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor (CRPC®), Matt brings a teacher's mindset to every client relationship. He has a talent for breaking down complex topics into clear, understandable conversations, helping clients feel informed and empowered as they work toward their goals. His focus is not just on building financial strategies, but on helping people understand the "why" behind them.

Matt was originally introduced to Jacobs Financial as a client, and the firm's family-first culture and commitment to serving others inspired him to join the team. Today, he shares those same values in the way he works with clients and colleagues alike.

Outside of the office, Matt enjoys traveling, spending time on the lake, attending live music events, and making memories with family and friends. He's also known for bringing plenty of humor wherever he goes, especially if there's an opportunity to tell a good dad joke.

We're grateful to have Matt as part of the Jacobs Financial team!

The 20th Annual Swing Fore Charity Golf Tournament was one for the books, and this year’s highlights video shows just how much this day means to our community.

Together, we raised more than $100,000 for the Public Safety Foundation, directly supporting Community Outposts, scholarships for individuals pursuing careers as first responders, and wellness programs designed for police officers, firefighters, and EMS personnel. The impact behind every swing this year reaches far beyond the golf course and into the lives of those who serve and protect us every day.

But what makes this event truly special is everything happening in between the fundraising. From early morning tee offs to friendly competition on the course, to the energy at every hole, the day was filled with connection, laughter, and a shared sense of purpose. This video captures those moments that remind us why this tournament continues to grow year after year.

A special thank you to our key sponsors: Blattner, The Malco Group, Falcon National Bank, St.Cloud Subaru And Used Car Outlet, Landwehr Construction, Inc., Leighton Media, and Motor Works Auto. Also a big shout out to H&S Heating and A/C, Kyle Hedtke - State Farm Insurance Agent, Moxie Creative, North Star Resource Group, U.S. Bank, and Paylocity for the video cameos. We are incredibly grateful to every golfer, sponsor, volunteer, and supporter who made the day possible. Your generosity and presence help turn a great event into meaningful, lasting impact for first responders and their families.

Take a look back with us at an unforgettable day that brought people together for something bigger than the game.

The Fed meets Tuesday and Wednesday, and while everyone’s expecting no change, there are still a couple things to keep an eye on—like the new dot plot and what’s next under the new Chair. CIO Gene Goldman reminds us that a Fed hold may not be exciting, but consistency counts. See more in .

Some of the most important financial questions do not have simple answers. Understanding context is often just as important as understanding the numbers.
