Who We Are

Core 4 Financial was founded and is led by Will Jones. Will has been working in the financial services industry since 1993, providing financial planning, investments and tax services. He was born in Northern California, and after living in various locations along the west coast, settled back in his hometown of Sacramento, CA with his wife Tresa, their two children Amelia and Miranda, and a menagerie of animals.

He enjoys hiking, boxing, running, mountain biking, and cooking, and nurtures his creative side by concocting tasty original craft cocktails. Will has a Finance degree from San Diego State University, a Masters in Taxation (MST) degree from Taft University and has been admitted to practice before the IRS as an Enrolled Agent (EA).

Emily Walton Cagle joined us in August 2020 as a full time office manager, to take on administrative and bookkeeping responsibilities.  She was born in Northern California and currently lives in the Apple Hill area of Placerville with her husband, Jeff, and their two children Jaxton and Ever.

She enjoys swimming, morning walks downtown, a good cup of coffee, and the magic of Disneyland.  Emily has spent the last decade working in the health care industry helping to keep her departments running smoothly and on schedule, and after returning to school to obtain her Bachelor’s degree in Business and Leadership at Arizona State University, realized the health care field was not where she wanted to stay.  She traded her scrubs for a 10-key and is now thrilled to be part of the Core 4 Financial family!

Samantha Sibayan moved to the Greater Sacramento area in 2005 from Monterey County and currently lives in Lincoln. Outside of work, she enjoys reading, baking, trying new foods and wines, but most of all exploring the great outdoors with her furry sidekick, Zoey!

Samantha also comes with a long background of administrative professional experience in the healthcare field, but has made the dive into a new field and brings her own creative perspective to our team. In her work environment, Samantha takes pride in ensuring all daily operations and administrative tasks work orderly and efficiently.
