Client Stories

Jill Burns

I wanted to be a physician since the time I was six. A seminal thing happened when I was in 4th grade. I was at a back-to-teacher night and a little boy pulls his dad over to meet me. So he goes, "Daddy, Jill wants to be a doctor." And the man said, "Oh honey, she's just going to be a housewife." That kind of spurred me on for the last 50 years.

Four Quadrants:

Jill's dream of being a doctor became a reality when she graduated from Indiana University School of Dentistry in 1984. While at IU, she met her future husband, and soon-to-be dentist himself, Chris Burns. The following year, not only did they become married, but they also decided to join the United States Navy. After seven years of serving their country, they returned home. Jill started working at Chris' father's practice in Richmond, Indiana, and eventually, she would purchase that practice. Chris went on to complete a four-year residency in oral surgery, and then he entered into private practice where he is today. Currently, Jill is very active with local and national dental organizations and was recently elected to be the next vice president of the Indiana Dental Association.

I really enjoy that because I get to have a lot of knowledge about all the different parts of the Dental Association, and I really enjoy mentoring dental students on ethics issues. So, there's a lot I do. I just get a lot of satisfaction in that I'm helping my profession. It also lets me know that I'm helping other people.

Jill and I had for years been looking for an advisory group that would combine both the business and personal financial planning into a comprehensive plan. Basically, what they have done is restructured our accounting practices. That has significantly stabilized our cashflow. They helped significantly with our tax planning, which that was always a source of frustration, and that was one of the big goals. And when we signed on with Four Quadrants is to alleviate that big question in our lives, and they've really achieved that in one year.

Jill Burns

My experience has just been wonderful. Just the breadth of knowledge that is in this firm has really made me feel better about decisions that I have made. And, I think that we've seen a really big increase in what my practice has done over the last year. We have a granddaughter who's nine who is the light of our lives. She likes hanging out with us. That's for sure.

Chris Burns

My pet name, what she calls me, is a Grumpy Grandpa. And so when she went to Disney World, she just had the buy me a grumpy dwarf T-shirt. I'm fine with it.

Four Quadrants

Okay, so there must be some truth to it, and you just, "Yeah, that's true."

Chris Burns

I don't think there's any truth.

Jill Burns

The best news I heard today was, number one, that we've tripled our savings, and number two, that my numbers were way up from a year ago.

I would recommend Four Quadrants because they do what they say that they're going to do and they're very good at what they do.

And I would recommend Four Quadrants because they are very knowledgeable about their services that they provide and we have really seen the benefits both personally and in our businesses.
