As a member of the JJ Burns financial planning team, Tara Korkus helps analyze clients’ needs, conduct research, and develop comprehensive financial plans. She also provides support to the firm’s senior wealth advisors, assisting them in all aspects of the client relationship.

On the personal side
Tara is a Long Island native. She loves traveling, especially to places with beautiful beaches. She’s also eager to learn about different cultures. When she can’t satisfy her culture curiosity by traveling, she experiments with new cuisines, either cooking novel dishes or visiting restaurants—with sushi being her all-time favorite. Spending time with family and friends is another high point for Tara, especially when her beloved mini–Australian Shepherd, Luca, is included.
What Tara brings to the table
A gluten-free dessert—along with a strong desire to help others transcend gender barriers in the financial planning world.
