I’ve been with First Command almost 50 years and had numerous advisors - all very professional and competent. But they saved the best for last. Lilian Mesquita is outstanding. Knowledgeable, friendly, and an advisor with great character, she not only speaks these complex issues in a simplistic understandable way, but she is not pushy or boastful. She is a great professional and I’m fortunate after all these years to have the best of the best.

Lilian has been my advisor for many years now and I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to secure their financial future. She is extremely motivated and continuously strives to educate herself and stay up to date on changes in the financial industry. She then applies her knowledge to benefit her clients' individual situations. Lilian does not give cookie cutter advice. Rather, she listens to her clients, gets to know their individual goals, wants and needs and creates personalized portfolios. Lilian is completely professional and trustworthy, and I am grateful to her for giving me financial security and peace of mind. I feel extremely fortunate to have her as my financial advisor.

Lillian has been an invaluable asset to my financial planning for a a few years, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. In all of our dealings, she has continuously showed an extraordinary degree of candor and honesty, always taking the time to explain complex financial topics in a simple and easy-to-understand manner.
One of the things that distinguishes Lillian from other financial advisors is her extensive knowledge of the financial industry as a whole. She is always happy to share her knowledge and expertise with me, and she stays up to date on the latest advances and trends. This means that I am always certain that I am making informed decisions based on the most up-to-date information.
Lillian is a superb communicator who actually listens to her customers' wants and concerns, in addition to her strong financial expertise. She genuinely cares about my financial goals and aspirations, and she offers answers that are personalized to my specific situation. Her individualized approach makes me feel like I have a true partner in my financial planning path, which I value.
Overall, I cannot imagine navigating the complex world of finance without someone like Lillian on my side. She is an amazing adviser that continually goes above and above to provide her customers with exceptional care and support. If you are seeking for a financial advisor you can absolutely trust, I wholeheartedly recommend Lillian.

Lilian has been instrumental in helping me to organize my finances for years. I started with her during a very stressful part of my life when financial planning was something I thought only rich people had time for. I'm very thankful I made the time to see her. Thanks to her advice, I am now in a much better place financially. She is very professional, knowledgeable, and takes the time to answer all of your questions. Do yourself a favor and go see Lilian Mesquita at First Command.

Lilian has organized my finances completely. I had accounts here and there and she brought them all together, invested in better funds for me, charted the monies in a plain visible manner which I can understand, and really has helped me to view the growth that good financial investments can have. I am truly happy to have met her and to have allowed her to manage my funds. I am impressed by her wealth of knowledge in this industry and recommend her to everyone I know who needs a Financial Advisor. Thank you so much for helping me grown my financial investments.
