O'Connell & Chavez

The mission of O'Connell and Chavez is to serve as clients' essential financial resource. Our objective is to make clients' lives better by allowing them to focus on their demanding schedules with the assurance that their wealth is being managed efficiently and professionally.

O'Connell and Chavez have developed and refined a goals-based wealth management process to help address clients' financial problems with thoughtful advice and guidance. During discovery meetings we get to know each client and what matters most to them. We use our technology to run projections to see if the client is on track and create a roadmap to guide our strategies. Client data and projections are used to implement strategies that are appropriate for each client's unique situation. We regularly verify that client investments are helping in the pursuit of their goals. Our goals-based wealth management process evolves as client situations change. We genuinely care and make it our priority to provide an extraordinary experience through quality service.

O'Connell and Chavez manage the personal finances for a select group of individuals and families throughout the United States. Clients are often retirees or pre-retirees. Typically they are looking for a team of highly knowledgeable financial advisors they trust to manage their finances because they may not have the time, inclination or experience to do it themselves. The clients we work with are similar to us; they work hard and value what they have attained. They value a team that is heavily involved in their financial lives. We are encouraged to work with their attorneys and other professionals because clients understand that wealth management plans have many moving parts. We take the trust clients place in us very seriously and because of that trust our relationships go beyond finances.

With O'Connell and Chavez it's not about industry benchmarks — it's about you and your goals.
