About Jeff Kikel: Empowering Business Owners to Retire Stress-Free
Jeff Kikel is more than just a financial advisor—he’s a seasoned entrepreneur, best-selling author, and a trusted guide for business owners looking to secure their financial future. With over three decades of experience helping entrepreneurs plan successful business exits, Jeff has become a go-to expert in retirement strategies specifically tailored to the unique challenges faced by business owners.
A Lifelong Commitment to Business Success
Jeff’s journey into financial advisory wasn’t a straight path. He started his career in the corporate world, working his way up through roles in finance and management. But his passion for entrepreneurship led him to create and grow his own businesses, giving him firsthand insight into the highs and lows that come with business ownership.
Through his own successes and struggles, Jeff realized that many business owners lacked a clear, strategic plan for exiting their businesses—leaving them vulnerable to financial loss and regret when the time came to sell. Determined to bridge this gap, Jeff founded Sure Horizon Retirement Advisors, dedicated to helping business owners plan their exit strategies with confidence and clarity.
Why Jeff Wrote The Business Owner's Retirement Blueprint
Having advised countless entrepreneurs, Jeff saw a recurring problem: most business owners waited too long to think about their exit strategy. They were often caught off guard by market changes, personal circumstances, or unexpected offers, leading to rushed sales and missed opportunities.
Jeff wrote The Business Owner's Retirement Blueprint to change that narrative. His goal is to provide business owners with a clear, actionable roadmap to preparing their businesses for sale well in advance. The book’s 5-step system is designed to help entrepreneurs maximize their business value, plan a sustainable post-exit income, and retire without financial worry.
A Trusted Voice in the Financial Community
Jeff’s insights have earned him recognition as a thought leader in retirement planning and exit strategies. As the host of The Cents of Things podcast, Jeff breaks down complex financial topics into practical advice, making it accessible and engaging for his audience. He’s also a sought-after speaker at business and financial seminars, where he shares his expertise on topics like business valuation, tax-efficient retirement planning, and wealth preservation.
The Entrepreneurial Spirit
Beyond his advisory work, Jeff is an entrepreneur at heart. He’s launched and grown multiple businesses, giving him a unique perspective that resonates with fellow business owners. His practical, no-nonsense approach is rooted in real-world experience, not just theory. This hands-on understanding allows him to connect deeply with his clients and readers alike.
Helping Business Owners Achieve Financial Freedom
Jeff’s mission is simple: to help business owners retire stress-free. He believes that with the right planning, selling a business can be a rewarding and transformative experience rather than a daunting one. Through his book, coaching, and community, Jeff equips entrepreneurs with the tools they need to thrive beyond their business careers.
Personal Life and Passions
When Jeff isn’t helping business owners plan their exits, you’ll find him enjoying life with his family or exploring new ideas for his next entrepreneurial venture. He’s an advocate for lifelong learning and believes that staying curious is the key to personal and professional growth.
