Hi, I’m Mirjana Grace Kljajić—but you can call me MGK (pronounced “Magic”). ✨
I’m the founder and CEO of MGK Wealth, and for over 20 years, I’ve helped individuals, families, and business owners make thoughtful financial decisions and build a life around what matters most to them.
I believe financial planning should give you more than a portfolio. It should give you clarity about where you stand, confidence in the decisions you’re making, and a strategy for navigating the unexpected along the way.
My work spans retirement planning, investment management, tax-aware planning, estate and legacy considerations, insurance and risk management, and 401(k) retirement plans. But those are simply the tools. The real work is understanding the life you want those tools to support.
Many of my clients come to me at an important turning point—approaching retirement, changing careers, navigating divorce or the loss of a spouse, managing significant wealth, or balancing the demands of a business with their personal financial future. Others simply reach a point where their finances have become too important or too complicated to manage without a coordinated strategy.
That’s where I come in.
My approach is personal, education-focused, and grounded in understanding both the opportunities and the risks that could affect your financial life. We look beyond investment performance to questions such as: Are you prepared for retirement? How will taxes affect your income? What happens if life doesn't go according to plan? Is your family protected? Are your estate and beneficiary decisions coordinated? And most importantly, does your financial strategy actually support the way you want to live?
I hold a bachelor’s degree in finance and the Certified Retirement Counselor® (CRC®), Accredited Investment Fiduciary® (AIF®), and Behavioral Financial Advisor™ (BFA™) designations. My background in behavioral finance is especially important to the way I work because good financial planning isn't just about knowing what to do. It's also about helping people make better decisions when markets, emotions, and life inevitably become complicated.
Through MGK Wealth, I work with clients from our Naples, Florida and Chicago-area offices, as well as virtually with clients in other parts of the country. I also specialize in helping employers and plan sponsors design and manage 401(k) retirement plans that help their employees build stronger financial futures.
What matters most to me, though, is the relationship.
I want my clients to understand their financial lives—not feel intimidated by them. My job is to take complicated decisions, explain them in plain English, and help you see how the pieces fit together so you can make informed decisions with confidence.
Because financial freedom isn't simply a number.
It’s having choices. It’s protecting the people you love. It’s being able to retire on your terms. It’s traveling, spending time with family, helping the next generation, building something meaningful, or simply sleeping better at night knowing you have a plan.
That’s what I mean when I talk about Financial Planning for a Life Worth Living.
Outside of MGK Wealth, I love traveling, spending time outdoors, experiencing different cultures, and meeting people from different walks of life. Those experiences continually remind me that there is no single definition of a successful life—and there shouldn't be a one-size-fits-all financial plan for it either.
If you're looking for a financial advisor who will take the time to understand not only your money, but what you want your money to make possible, I’d be glad to start the conversation.
