Starting FG Advisory Services felt like the natural next step for our CEO Shannon McLay after a decade of helping Financial Gym clients pay down debt, plan for retirement, buy houses, and accomplish so many other incredible financial milestones. With rising cost of living, inflation, a housing crisis, and economic uncertainty, understanding how money works and how to build wealth through investing is one of the best ways to get ahead. It's one of the biggest things that separates the wealthy from the working class -- and that is by design. At Financial Gym, and now our sister company FG Advisory Services, we are passionate about helping as many people as possible feel confident in their ability to manage money and build generational wealth, no matter where you're starting from. And let's face it - the advisory services industry needed some new faces. Most advisors won't even talk to you unless you have $250k net worth. FG Advisory Services is proud to work with people at all income levels and be the advisors you can trust with your money.
