The Deck Is Stacked Against You

Financial institutions wield incredible power and influence in how people live their lives – including how they can wreck them. When the Great Recession occurred, from exorbitant credit card rates to ordinary people losing their jobs, their savings, their homes – it broke people. It broke them financially, and it broke them emotionally, their hopes for a happy and secure life. Having lived and experienced this pain firsthand, founder Steven Briggs came to the conclusion that we have to play the game differently in order to achieve a different result. He decided to form a new company to level the playing field in the fight to secure a better future.

Founded To Build Wealth For All

In 2018, Steven Briggs opened Briggs Financial with the goal of providing financial advice for all people – not just those who have already built considerable net worth. His background in education, business development, and mathematics have informed a practice with a unique approach, combining consistent financial education and feedback with prudent risk management across all aspects of living. We believe that consistent expert feedback helps our clients make financial decisions that work toward building lasting wealth.

Briggs Financial is Building

When the firm first opened in 2018, our office was the second bedroom of a two-bedroom apartment in Schaumburg, IL serving just fifteen households with a single planner. While we still occupy just a single bedroom in a house for office space, we now serve hundreds of households in providing financial planning, investment, and tax preparation services. Our team now consists of four employees and several contractors, and continues to grow as we serve our clients well. We earn new business through doing great work – not through fancy dinners and seminars and other marketing gimmicks.

We want to empower you through sharing knowledge and conversation to make the best financial decisions for yourself.
