First Command, Colonial Heights, VA

Working with Laura Olliff has been a genuine pleasure. Right from the start, my wife and I could see her passion for financial planning. We were immediately put at ease due to her personable mentality and strong financial acumen. Our goals included retirement planning, bolstering our life insurance policies and more strategic budgeting. Laura was absolutely the advisor for the job! She listened to our goals and crafted a budget plan that meets our needs while still allowing us to save for future goals. We are also excited to see other members of our family benefit from her services. It’s always our joy to recommend Laura and First Command. We have true peace of mind working with them!

I had an amazing experience here with my Financial Advisor, Kelly Conley. I was able to get a very comprehensive explanation of my personalized financial plan she put together for me. We got to set up how much I would be investing in my future, and I know exactly where all my money is going and how it works for my benefit. I am far from a financial expert, and Kelly made sure I had a clear understanding of the step to step processes. Not once did I feel lost or confused. She welcomes questions, and never got offended when I would indicate that everything sounded too good to actually be true. She would simply explain why everything works the way it does and how it works in my favor. I feel set for my future, and First Command could not have hired a better Advisor.

I have not had a more positive experience with any place like first command. Being fresh in the military and just starting to mange my own finances, Laura has helped me tremendously. They are very friendly and truly care about not only finances, but how you are doing personally. They are very encouraging and great mentors. I would 10/10 recommend anyone to first command for anyone who needs help learning how to manage their finance's better or just want any information surrounding it.

My husband and I have had a great experience with First Command. Laura Ollif consistently makes time to listen to us, answer any questions, and explain our financial options in detail. Laura is also very patient and invested in our goals. She has guided us through a plan that addresses short term savings (a budget to prepare for unforeseen emergencies), long term investments (to address long term goals such as college and retirement), and our individual life policies. I feel a lot more at peace now that our family has a solid life insurance and retirement plan that we can use to protect ourselves and our children in case of any unexpected health complications or natural disasters. Laura has helped us develop a road to success and offered us honest feedback about our spending habits. I am also grateful that First Command understands military life and is able to help us navigate our way through different PCS moves. I would recommend Laura’s services to anyone who is hoping to better organize their finances and make a plan to financially protect their future and family members.

Just starting my Army career I had a lot of questions & concerns about getting on track financially. I met Kelley Conley through First Command & I have so much relief about my finances now. Kelley made understanding my finances & my plan so easy. Through every step, she ensured I understood my plan & that it met my financial goals. I cannot recommend First Command & Kelley enough!

The most impressive thing about this place is that they take the time to teach you how it works. As a 21 year old trying to be financially independent for the first time this was a lifesaver. They work hard to build your trust, and building your plan. I feel more assured that I can manage my finances and reach my goals. Lenae was fantastic.

First Command representative Denis Porter did a wonderful job explaining how First Command's services benefit military and federal government employees. I strongly recommend that every soldier or federal civilian meet with a First Command representative for at least an initial consultation.
