- Jayson B.September 17, 20245 / 5Rating 5.0Its 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.

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.

- Martin W.February 7, 20245 / 5Rating 5.0Prior 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.Response from First CommandFebruary 7, 2024Thank you for your review. We are committed to bringing value to our client families.

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.Response from First CommandJanuary 4, 2024Thank you for your review.

- Paul A.November 2, 20235 / 5Rating 5.0Hands 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.Response from First CommandNovember 2, 2023Thank you for your review. We are committed to bringing value to our client families.

- Mike S.October 28, 20235 / 5Rating 5.0I'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.Response from First CommandOctober 28, 2023Thank you for your review.

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.
