Wow! What an awesome guy Brian is. He has to be the single best financial advisor I've had the pleasure to do business with. He’s attentive to responding back with any questions you have, and he makes the process simple and stress-free. He is the definition of professional. Thank you.

Brian is a true professional. He’s attentive, informed and cares. He gives you space to consider options and takes time to present the pros and cons of all financial decisions.

I've been a First Command client for over 20 years. Brian and his team are amazing! First Command provides education for their clients while providing non-judgemental service that is free of any fees, making it available for regular working people & soldier families. They provide a sense of calm through the ups & downs of the market and have truly helped my family to have a secure plan for the future.

Absolutely amazing customer service.
They are taking very good care of our accounts and family!

Brian has helped my family with our accounts in countless ways! I wouldn’t recommend anyone but him to friends and family for financial help.

This was a great experience & I highly recommend this team!

Great advice and easy to work with so far.

Brian is trustworthy and knowledgeable. I feel very comfortable leaving my financial planning in his hands since the passing of my husband years ago.

Overall a fantastic team to work with! They have provided so much knowledge and guidance, and would recommend without hesitation!”

Its been a rough year for me. And after being denied 3 times for a personal loan from other companies. First Command was able to assist and approve me for one. During my time of need they came through for me and the APR came out to be extremely low compared to other companies regardless the credit score. Military or not, everyone is welcome to apply. Hit up Brian Pablo! He's been a great help.
Thank you again First Command

Brian is great! He's helped my dad for years and years, and is now helping me with planning my financial future. Excellent communication throughout the process, and explains everything very well even to someone like me who is not super money savvy

My experience has been amazing. I have truly learned a lot about how to manage my finances from my advisor Brian and he has guided me through each step. I don’t feel rushed or pressured to do anything until I am fully certain and have knowledge about the next steps. Great company with awesome advisors.

Brian and his team are awesome - incredibly professional, responsive, and capable. I am a new client of Brian’s and I have been nothing but satisfied with the experience so far. He established trust with me early on by being very up front with his fee structure and what he ultimately hopes to achieve by establishing a relationship. I look forward to seeing out his plans for myself and family’s finances in the coming years.

Brian Pablo has really helped my husband and I figure out our financial situation and plan for retirement. You are in good hands with him because he breaks everything down in a way that is easy to learn and absorb

Excellent service

I've known Brian for years and when I say I wouldn't trust anyone more with my finances, I mean it. He goes out of his way to understand his clients individual needs and the way we want to use our money and tailors his approach to each person. If you want help that's relaxed and let's you go at your own pace, he will adapt to that mindset to make sure you are the most comfortable and have the highest level of financial understanding. If you want something that's a little more jumpstarted, he does not hesitate to make that his priority for you. Brian's level of service, fun personality, and financial savvy are unmatched. For any millennials out there wondering where to start with your finances, Brian is an excellent resource, a good teacher, and the best person to have in your corner.

Brian Pablo at First Command is an excellent advisor! Brian is well informed, attentive and has always given us solid suggestions for managing our retirement accounts. He is personable and fun to work with. We have recommended him to many friends and family members. First Command has strong principals as an organization.

​Brian is a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and customer-focused Financial Advisor. He was very patient, very understanding of our financial situation, and knowledgeable about investment strategies.

Gives great detailed insight. Very competent on financial subjects relevant to me. Would recommend. 100%

Brian and Kayla take good care of me. They give me the guidance I need to feel secure.

I have been working with Brian for a couple years now and I can’t say enough good things about my experience. Brian is extremely professional and knowledgeable, as well as incredibly passionate and committed to his job and clients success. He is always willing to talk through any topic or question you may have, to ensure you’re comfortable and get the answer you need. Highly recommend working with him!

Prior to First Command, we had worked with other financial advisors and never really had good experiences. We had invested with other larger firms - unfortunately we had equated larger with being better. We were promised personal attention and elevated returns. Neither proved true. Fortunately we met Brian Pablo and were introduced to First Command. The difference was apparent right away. The information we were presented with to help us with our wealth planning was extensive and explained in a way that was very easy to follow. We didn’t feel rushed or influenced towards any decisions, but rather were patiently educated and allowed to make decisions that we were extremely comfortable with. Throughout our relationship with Brian and First Command, we have been able to have regular check ins and any requests we’ve had to meet or talk have been immediately met. The detail to planning has been incredible. We have been walked through information no other financial advisor had explained to us. This helped us better balance our investments and position ourselves to not only hit our original financial goals, but actually exceed them. I highly recommended First Command.

Professional and makes it easy for me to set my self up for success. Always a pleasure and I would recommend their services to anyone!

First Command has given us peace of mind when it comes to our future. Brian is always quick to respond and goes above and beyond answering any and all questions that we have. Thank you Brian and his assistant Kayla for always being there for us.

Great experience and great conversation. Brian has so much knowledge and information it’s crazy I highly recommend to anyone who loves and appreciates top tier service.

Great experience. Everything was so easy and explained I. Detail exactly what we were getting and what we would get out of it! My whole family is now covered!

Brian is great to work with! Definitely recommend

We have had a great experience working with Brian. He has been able to explain the pros and cons of everything and make the best recommendations for our future. Would definitely recommend

Brian is a great financial assistant. You can tell he really knows his stuff because he'll walk you through all your options and explain anything you don't understand, and if there's something he doesn't know, he doesn't hesitate to look into it. And he's passionate about what he does. He genuinely cares about the people he works with and wants to help. He's been reliable for everyone in my family, and I'd recommend him to anyone looking for help with their finances.

Brian really is a delight to work with. He’s not just knowledgeable but passionate about finances and helping you accomplish your own goals. He listens to you and explains everything you want to know. I can’t imagine anyone else being as enthusiastic as he is talking about retirement and investment accounts, and I always feel comfortable reaching out to him. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for financial guidance!

Mr. Pablo took care of my life insurance needs and coached my wife and I to put our investments in the right places. Honest and trustworthy. Thank you Brian. We appreciate your hard work! Highly recommend!” – BKR

I have been with Brian a few months now and it really feels like he is invested in my goals and aspirations. He has a gift for breaking things down so they are easy to understand and meeting you where you are. I would highly recommend Brian and the First Command team to anyone looking to be more fiscally responsible and secure.

Hands down Brian is one of the best. After the financial advisor I have had since childhood retired, I really struggled to find an advisor who didn't try to apply a one size fits all strategy to me or one who didn't ask for a bunch of references 10 minutes into my first meeting.

After running through 4 advisors within a year, I ran into Brian. He spent our first meeting in listening mode, asking about my financial goals and my overall, somewhat unorthodox, financial strategy. He didn't try to force a plan on me, but asked were I wanted his help in my portfolio. He came back a few days later with a few options and he really helped me consolidate and simplify my complex portfolio.

Brian and his partner Kayla (who deserves a ton of credit too) have been a huge blessing to my family and are a breath of fresh air against the status quo of financial advisors.

When we realized we were moving from Texas to Florida we asked Brian about the possibility of staying with him. Within a few weeks he was licensed in Florida. If that doesn't speak to Brian's dedication, I don't know what does.

Regardless where you are on your financial journey, call him.

Truly appreciate all the assistance from Brian and the First Command team. They have been transparent with their advice and recommendations through all of our “meetings” which have felt more like a conversation with a friend. Thanks for all of the support!

Josh and Brian stepped right up to the plate and hit Home runs in setting me up for life insurance and my portfolio.

An excellent experience with excellent people! First Command has done a great job of helping out with not only financial organization but also with financial education.

I've had the privilege of working with Brian Pablo as my financial advisor for almost 3 years, and I couldn't be more impressed with the level of expertise and dedication he brings to the table. Brian's commitment to his clients is truly commendable, and it's evident that he approaches every aspect of financial planning with the utmost care and precision.

From our very first meeting, Brian took the time to thoroughly understand my financial goals and aspirations. His ability to communicate complex financial concepts in a clear and accessible manner immediately put me at ease. Brian's depth of knowledge in investment strategies and financial planning is truly exceptional, and he was able to tailor a plan that perfectly aligned with my individual needs.

One of the standout qualities that sets Brian apart is his unwavering commitment to transparency and trust. He took the time to walk me through each step of the planning process, ensuring that I fully understood the implications of each decision. This level of transparency not only gave me confidence in the strategies we implemented but also provided me with a deeper understanding of my own financial portfolio.

Throughout our working relationship, Brian demonstrated a remarkable level of responsiveness and availability. Whether it was a quick question or a more in-depth discussion about investment options, Brian was consistently prompt and thorough in his responses. This level of attentiveness instilled a sense of confidence that I was in capable hands.

He genuinely cares about the well-being and financial success of his clients, and it shows in his personalized approach and the thoughtful recommendations he provides.

Working with Brian has been an incredibly positive experience, and I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone seeking a dedicated and highly skilled financial advisor. With Brian's guidance, I feel more secure and optimistic about my financial future. He is, without a doubt, an invaluable asset to anyone seeking expert financial advice.

Brian is just the greatest! You're not his only client, but it seems so, with the attention he pays. He's honest and understanding. If you're in the market for a financial advisor, I would highly recommend Brian Pablo!

I've been one of Brian's clients for a few months now and all I can say is wow, what a great guy. It feels less like I have a financial advisor and more like a friend that gives me great life advice. He is always readily available to answer my questions, and to assist me in any way I need. I could not ask for a more reliable, and consistently pleasant person to help me with something that most people dread discussing and evaluating. I feel so much more prepared for my financial future and more confident in my monetary decision making. I fully recommend giving Brian your business and consideration, you will NOT regret it!

Amazing staff Brian is super helpful and knowledgeable. He walked me thru each step of my process.

Brian is the absolute best. My finances felt so intimidating and impossible, but Brian has made everything approachable and simple. Thank you for everything you do, Brian!

In the past few months i’ve been meeting with Brian Pablo, and he has been nothing but a blessing. Being in my 20s I don’t know much about financing, and he has helped me feel comfortable in finding and understand solutions to help me succeed financially.

He even sends me reminders! i’ve never felt more confident that i’m putting my money in the right place for my future. Thank you so much Brian!

Brian makes finances easy and executable. His friendly demeanor makes the process a great experience. He is a true all-star.

My wife and I have known Brian for 6 years - he's such a fantastic person and is extremely knowledgeable!
