Reason for working with Chris Gure
Chris keeps my financial life running while I navigate a challenging and dynamic career. Job changes, 401k rollovers, Roth moves, taxes in different states, equity comp, moving, growing our family, all of it gets handled fast and without any jargon. He gives me clear answers, stays ahead of problems, and keeps everything organized so I can focus on my career and life balance. Easy to recommend.
Experience working with Chris Gure
Started working with Chris because no one else could explain my 401k, equity comp, and taxes in a way that actually made sense. Most advisors pitch products. He solves real problems and keeps my entire financial life moving in the right direction. That is why we trust him.

"They were very professional and delivered results. I recommended them to other people in my network who reported the same experience, and they stayed with CAPG even longer than I did. I am planning to return to them for additional services as it's now been a few years and I'd like to get more guidance with some significant life events on the horizon."
