    Hi, I’m Alex Chalekian and I have been helping people achieve financial freedom for over 25 years.

    Growing up in Los Angeles, I witnessed firsthand the financial challenges my parents faced. Coming from an immigrant family, I realized early on that my parents lacked the resources to thrive in the US.

    I made it my mission to guide my family and myself towards breaking the cycle of poor financial habits and work on creating wealth. At the age of 21, I took a leap into the financial industry and learned all I could.

    I started my practice in 1997 and focused on educating my clients on how to develop strong money habits and make smarter financial choices. Fast forward 25 years later, and I run one of the premier financial planning firms in Pasadena.

    Three ways I can help you!
