In memory of our founder Bernie DeLaRosa
June 13, 1962 ~ December 9, 2023

Bernie was a highly respected leader, financial advisor, and coach for over 37 years.
Through these experiences, he founded Jambalaya Group with his wife Cate and established a team of experts to help financial advisors become equally successful business owners.
Those who knew Bernie well, know he was dedicated and passionate about his work. In fact, it was his calling, with “meaningful work” being tied with “Family” for his top values in life.
His passion for helping people find their purpose in life has established his legacy and will live amongst all the people he helped mentor and coach over the years.
We are forever grateful for the knowledge, laughter, and resilience Bernie shared over his lifetime.
He will never be forgotten.
“Carve your name on hearts, not tombstones. A legacy is etched into the minds of others and the stories they share about you. ”
We have enjoyed a long relationship with the Jambalaya team. Last year we closed a merger/acquisition with direct support from Jambalaya and I cannot overstate the value their team brought us throughout the process. It was our first merger/acquisition and the sheer number of items on the project plan was staggering. They had an outstanding project plan based on their extensive experience in helping advisors through similar transactions. The regular meetings with the Jambalaya team made the process manageable for us and we were able to successfully complete the merger/acquisition within our scheduled timeline. I am certain that without their support the transaction would have taken us at least twice as long as it did, and the stress level would have been exponentially higher. Additionally, I cannot count the number of issues, problems, and roadblocks Jambalaya helped us avoid. Working with the team is one of the best business decisions we ever made.
Working with Traci has allowed me to improve in areas of leadership that I was lacking. Not only does she provide excellent advice and suggestions on how to navigate a leadership role within my team, she also provides solutions based on challenges I have faced in real time. Her industry experience is on full display each time we meet!
I am grateful for the work that the Jambalaya Group does for me. Their skill in HR is incredibly valuable. Having them handle all aspects of HR for my practice makes me a better employer, makes my team and business stronger, and allows me to focus on continuing to grow the business. Hiring them was one of the best business decisions I have ever made.
