Biography


My name is Jay Karamourtopoulos. I am a CFP®, MBA and founder of Hereford Financial, a fee-only financial planning and investment management firm located in Boston but serving clients across the country virtually. I help my clients by educating them about all of the areas of financial planning and empower them by putting them in control of their finances. I’ve worked in the financial services industry for over 10 years. After spending time at large and mid-sized asset management firms in Boston, I worked for a team of financial planners helping to construct plans for their clients. I have also worked for two early stage FinTech companies.I have a bachelors degree from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, as well as an MBA from Boston University. Working with me will bring you the comfort of knowing that you are in control of your finances and making smart decisions with your money, allowing you to spend your well-deserved time away from the office or in retirement doing more of the things you love. Outside of the office you can find me running along the Charles River, attending a Boston team sporting event or trying out a new restaurant.
