Jonathan E. Marshall founded Divinity Group Family of Services, now DG Advisors, because he wanted to break the mold of traditional financial planning firms. As a business owner himself, he recognized that simply attending to the individual’s financial planning needs and goals does not address everything when it comes to business owners or even those with family farms. So while all agents at DG Advisors can assist individuals by offering insurance for every need, such as life; health, long-term care and disability, Jonathan specializes in supporting and addressing the financial needs of business owners. Jonathan also offers investment advisory services which includes aspects of financial planning through DG Wealth, LLC.

Jonathan believes financial planning is all about fitting a plan to the individual, never the other way around. That’s why he built a team of professionals from varied backgrounds, who work together to provide complete and customized plans for the people they serve.

With more than 25 years as an Investment Advisor Representative, Jonathan knows working on a financial plan is a lot like working on your golf game – you can buy great clubs, but you’ll never succeed without a great swing. When he works with clients, Jonathan first offers education, breaking down even the most complex concepts so they can fully understand their finances. Only after they’ve covered the fundamentals does he fit the client for their “clubs” — the individual pieces of their plan that are tailored to their needs.

Jonathan loves helping business owners develop strategies that allow them to enter retirement as smoothly as possible while simultaneously keeping in mind their largest asset and livelihood – their business. Jonathan’s passion for financial education extends beyond his clients. He is an advocate for training and succession planning in financial services, helping experienced advisors with exit plans and helping new advisors find success in the industry. He also volunteers as a Junior Achievement teacher, helping students — and sometimes, their parents — achieve a higher level of financial literacy.

Jonathan earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration from Thomas More College and his master’s degree in management from The American College. Additionally, he has earned the designation of Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor (CRPC®), Certified Business Exit Consultant, (CBEC), Certified in Long-Term Care (CLTC) and Certified Tax and Business Advisor (CTBA).

As an active participant in his local and professional communities, Jonathan is a Rotary member of the Wellen Park chapter, a member of the Venice Chamber of Commerce, the Englewood Chamber of Commerce, and the North Port Chamber of Commerce. He has attained lifetime membership status with the Million Dollar Round Table* (1996-present), and GAMA International, through both membership and as a content provider for their publications.

Even though Jonathan considers his profession so fun it often doesn’t feel like work, he ensures he protects his valuable time with his true passions: his wife and their children, Novella and J.P. They have a love for all things Disney, travel-related and dogs and all love having relocated to SW Florida a few years ago. As a former Marine, Jonathan also likes physical and mental challenges such as the Tough Mudder, but equally loves the more daily activities of watching his daughter perform in musicals, attending his son’s high school baseball games, as well as leading and serving at Coastlife Church.
