About The Firm

Life is a journey, and at times an unpredictable adventure. We live in a world that is constantly changing. Sometimes that change can be very exciting and sometimes it can lead to a substantial amount of stress and anxiety. During periods of great uncertainty, many people find themselves searching for a safe harbor. Getting to a point where we are able to truly experience financial peace is a powerful way to overcome the forces that lead us to lose sleep at night. And that is what we do. We serve as a safe harbor for our clients as we help them restore order to their lives, find financial peace, and ultimately enhance their quality of life.

For many, the overall financial planning process can seem a bit daunting. There are many components involved - everything from insurance and investments to retirement planning and estate planning. The decisions that must be made can be overwhelming, especially when family is involved. And for those that are just getting started, the question of how to even begin the process can be quite intimidating. At the end of the day, financial planning can certainly be a lot to think about, but it doesn't have to be a huge headache.

At C.M. Carrillo Financial Advising, we are always here to help proactive individuals navigate the process of transforming their vision for their future into their reality. Whether you have significant assets to manage, or if you are just starting to accumulate wealth, we have the tools and resources necessary to meet your needs.

Our firm is able to assist individuals, couples, families, and business owners. With a team of industry professionals, we offer guidance to our clients in order to help them reach their financial goals. We value long-term relationships with each of our clients, we love working with multiple generations within families, and we feel it is very important to do this on a solid foundation of respect and trust.

In December of 2015, Christopher M. Carrillo founded C.M. Carrillo Financial Advising in Saint Louis, Missouri. The firm utilizes a business model that allows for a very well balanced approach to the overall financial planning process. This approach involves several levels of planning, including: Risk Management, Wealth Accumulation, and Wealth Preservation & Distribution.

C.M. Carrillo Financial Advising is an Independent Financial Advisory Firm; therefore, we are not held captive in any way. As a result, we have the ability to access a wide array of different insurance companies as well as asset and wealth management firms. This in turn allows us to offer all of our clients an enhanced level of flexibility when implementing the various components of their financial plan.

When it comes to the Risk Management level of planning, it should be noted that C.M. Carrillo Financial Advising has relationships with numerous insurance companies through trusted insurance brokerage firms; however, it should also be emphasized that the firm has a direct and very strong relationship with Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (MassMutual). We are very proud of this relationship and we consider it to be an integral and strategic component of our firm's business model.

When it comes to the Wealth Accumulation level of planning, over time C.M. Carrillo Financial Advising has evolved into a bit of a boutique investment firm. Since its founding, the firm has consistently maintained some very strong relationships with some very well regarded asset and wealth management firms in the industry. These firms have been vetted, they have proven track records, and they believe in continuous innovation, which coincides with our philosophy on innovation.

Moving forward, we would very much enjoy the opportunity to begin a conversation with you in order to learn about your vision for the future as well as your desired lifestyle. We are here to serve as your safe harbor in this uncertain world while we work to help you restore order in life, find financial peace, and ultimately enhance your quality of life.
