We are personal financial coaches serving our Nation’s military families. Since our founding in 1958, we remain committed to supporting the lifelong financial security of the men and women who serve our country. Our passion is to coach our clients to become financially disciplined and confident, enhanced with our knowledge of the military’s benefit structure and retirement programs. We pride ourselves on helping our clients get financially squared away from the start of their military careers to retirement and beyond, at home or during deployment, in times of joy and tragedy. We believe there is no substitute for building a relationship of trust and mutual understanding other than meeting with an Advisor well-versed in the specific financial situations military families experience.

Most of our Advisors are veterans or military spouses. Our Advisors' experience equips them to understand the unique challenges military life brings. Therefore, we focus on providing proactive service in flexible and convenient ways that best meet the specialized needs of our clients as they evolve. Wherever our clients go, First Command’s dedicated team is there for them with the knowledge and attention that they felt at their very first meeting.
