About Chris Gall

Chris began his career in early 2007 and quickly built a loyal clientele who valued his honest approach to financial planning. As he worked with clients, he realized many had limited knowledge of their company’s retirement plans. He noted that 401(k) options were often mediocre, with little education provided on how to use them effectively. Seeing this gap, Chris committed to honing his expertise in 401(k) and qualified retirement plans, and now advises companies nationwide on plan design, implementation, and service.

Chris takes pride in being known by name when visiting client companies. He’s passionate about educating employees on the importance of saving for retirement and how the 401(k) can be a powerful tool. Companies appreciate his attention to detail and strong listening skills. From advanced profit sharing and pension/401(k) combos to fiduciary education and investment reviews, Chris delivers high-level support and advice.

Helping individuals plan for major goals remains central to Chris’ work. He uses top-tier financial planning software to model futures and provide clear paths forward. As a fiduciary, he proactively manages risk-based portfolios but can also work on commission to offer a wider range of investment tools. Chris holds FINRA Series 6, 7, 24, 63, and 65 licenses, a California life insurance license, a BA in Economics from UC San Diego, and the AIF® designation, allowing him to act as a fiduciary for 401(k)s and trusts.
