Family Values: The Secret to Jacobs Financial’s Success in St. Cloud

In 1979, Jacobs Financial moved to St. Cloud and has since grown to become a leading financial services provider in the area. The company’s commitment to family ownership and doing the right thing has been instrumental in their success, as evidenced by their recent recognition as the 2024 Family-Owned Business of the Year by the St. Cloud Area Chamber of Commerce.

Jim Jacobs, one of the partners in the firm, took over ownership in 1992 and has since expanded the business to include seven advisors and seven support staff. The company’s plans for future growth include expanding into the Brainerd and Maple Grove areas.

The importance of trust is at the heart of the family-owned aspect of the business, with brothers Andy and Dave believing that it is crucial when working with clients.

The relationship between Jacobs Financial and the St. Cloud Area Chamber of Commerce has also played a significant role in their growth over the years. Being recognized as a leader within the community has helped them connect with people and form lasting relationships with other businesses in St
