First Command Financial Advisor - Gary Sjurset - Alexandria, Virginia

Barb M.

Gary has been guiding me at First Command for several years now, and I can't imagine anyone I'd rather have as a financial advisor. He is exceptionally knowledgeable, honest, and trustworthy - and also incredibly kind and easy to work with. I fully trust his advice and I view him as not only an advisor, but a friend.

When I first met with Gary, it quickly became apparent how desperately I needed financial advice. He worked with me to consolidate my many retirement accounts for a more clear pathway to retirement. Over the years, he has expertly guided me and taken the time to thoroughly explain the details (sometimes more than once!). He has often suggested options that he thinks would be beneficial to me - but never pressures me.

Thanks to Gary, and I find it much easier to keep track of my goals and progress, I have a solid retirement plan in place, and I am confident in my finances. I am truly grateful for his guidance.

Gary has been our financial advisor through our military retirement transition, and has been outstanding. He takes the time to learn about our goals before making recommendations. He tailors our advice to our specific needs and never oversells. I highly recommend Gary as a financial advisor no matter where you are in your life.

Gary has earned the place of trusted advisor and friend for my family, friends and more! My wife met Gary through Rotary many years ago. Several years later we “tested” him and found his knowledge deep, his advice sound and his approach solidly focused on us. Gary informs but does not push - he offers options to consider based on who and where you are. Having Gary as our advisor has been a Blessing. Thank You!!

Gary has been my financial advisor since he joined First Command. He is always friendly and available. Most importantly, he watches out for my interests. When we first began working together, it was on a casual basis where I shared my financial information with him and we'd talk about and he'd advise me on pending financial decisions or simply answer my questions. At the time, I had multiple accounts with different organizations including my company's 401(k) manager, and another large financial institution (with which I had no complaints). Over time, as I grew to know and trust Gary, I decided to engage him as my full-time financial advisor. I have done well, despite the economic situation over the past couple years.
I highly recommend Gary and the services offered by First Command.
