About Our Team
Planning for one's financial future can sometimes seem intimidating because of the complexity of the issues involved; tax planning, asset allocation, risk management, and so on. Because of this, you want to deal with professionals who know their business - people who enjoy what they do and take pride in doing it well.
That's what you'll find at First Financial Group. First Financial Group employs 50 staff personnel in Maryland and Pennsylvania and have a total of 80 associates. Our financial representatives* and our support staff have built their success by their commitment to their clients, their community, their own education and self-development.
In addition, our associates are thoroughly familiar with complex issues such as asset management, business succession planning, estate planning, trusts, investments, pensions, insurance, benefits and other financial instruments. In fact, our long term goal for associates is that they obtain professional credentials and designations such as CFP ®, MSFS, CLU, ChFC, RHU, and LUTCF. Many of our representatives come from other career paths, have run their own businesses and have MBAs, are CPAs or Attorneys.
We believe we have the best team of financial professionals in the area, and one of the best in the country. While all our financial representatives have a wide knowledge of business and personal finance and protection, they each have specific areas in which they have more focused knowledge. representatives provide specialized expertise to their colleagues at First Financial Group and to their clients. In the areas of wealth accumulation/building, income and wealth protection, equities, employee benefits, estate planning we have some of the most accomplished professionals you'll ever meet, all of them committed to providing personalized and responsive attention.
Working side-by-side with our Financial Representatives is an experienced, dedicated staff of administrative and client-service professionals. Our staff ensures that any of your administrative concerns, small or large, get handled by the right person at the right time. Whether they are finding the right resource to help you with a question, or processing trades, paperwork, underwriting or claims, our firm wouldn't function without our dedicated staff. Our offices are linked by a computer network and manned by a responsive technical and administrative staff. This technology also allows us to continually monitor client plans and adjust them in response to changing benefits and tax laws, economic conditions and your own changing circumstances.
