Justin Goodbread, CFP, Awarded Knox.biz’s 40 Under 40

“Being a financial advisor and business owner myself, I’m able to show business owners how to grow their net worth.”
— Justin Goodbread

Each year Knoxville News Sentinel’s Knox.biz picks a group of exceptional leaders under the age of 40. These leaders are chosen for their commitment to passionately pursue making the great city of Knoxville even greater. We are thrilled to announce Justin Goodbread, CFP®, as one of those honorees and the only Financial Planner Knoxville News Sentinel awarded in this year’s 40 under 40 awards.

Justin Goodbread Awarded Knox.Biz's 40 Under 40Goodbread was honored by Knox.biz at the banquet this past Friday. Over the last 15 years, Justin has worked hard to educate business owners on how to start, grow, and sell their businesses. His entrepreneurial spirit has inspired and transformed business owners all across the city and country with his popular blog, podcast, and YouTube channel, Financially Simple™.

As a fee-only financial advisor planner in Knoxville, Justin is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to all things business-related. As a 15-year old entrepreneur, he started his first business and sold it several years later for a profit. Then again in 2009, he dove back into business ownership starting Heritage Investors. In 2010 he founded the Dental Management group, selling it for a profit just two years later.

We, here at Heritage Investors, want to congratulate Justin on a job well done. We might be biased but we think there is no one more deserving of the 40 under 40 award than Justin. His hard work, unparalleled leadership skills, and entrepreneurial spirit are well known by his team, and his many business and wealth management clients. We are excited that the Knox.biz team agrees.
