Amanda Czosek
Owner and Co-Founder, Wealth Advisor
Motivated to help others avoid the struggles her single mom encountered, Amanda has dedicated her life to creating financial strategies that help her clients reach their retirement goals while considering their income and legacy planning needs and opportunities that life presents.
To this day, Amanda still has the third-grade assignment that documented what she wanted to be when she grew up. “While the other kids wrote things like ‘football player’ or ‘doctor,’” Amanda says, “I wrote, ‘I want to be ‘independent.’"
Today, her mission is to help others enjoy that same independence she successfully found. Having passed the Series 65 securities exam and obtained her Illinois life, health and accident insurance degrees, Amanda is an Investment Adviser Representative and financial professional who can offer investment and insurance products and services.
“I want to empower the people I work with, especially the women in our community,” says Amanda, who focuses on income and tax planning. “I want them to know what is possible and provide a plan for them to follow.”
A former college athlete, Amanda earned her undergraduate degree in psychology from Ferris State University before transitioning to the financial industry in 2011. She joined Guardian Wealth in 2014 and became a partner in 2017 before teaming with Kevin Sanders in 2022 to purchase the firm.
Amanda and her husband, Brian, live in Saint Charles and are proud parents of young sons Reid and Wade. When she isn’t assisting clients, Amanda is passionate about spending time with her family and friends, playing volleyball and enjoying her church and the arts.
