First Command

Working with Sean Quigley at First Command Pensacola has been an incredibly helpful learning experience for me over the past few months. Being active duty military, I wanted to find someone that understands my situation as well as my financial needs and goals. Sean’s military experience is a welcoming sight and allows him to guide me in the right direction. He has helped me figure out how to reach my short and long term goals and has made everything extremely clear and easy to understand. I would recommend First Command for anyone who is looking for even the slightest financial guidance.

The staff at First Command in Pensacola are highly professional, experienced, and adaptive to your goals. Tory Sokul is willing to take the time to walk you through each step, making sure you fully understand the “why” behind your financial planning decisions. His dedication to providing you the tools to achieve your financial objectives are top notch. I highly encourage anyone (active duty, separated, retired, or otherwise) to reach out to First Command to learn about incorporating financial planning as early in your professional development as possible.

Our family has been working with financial advisor Jeff Endecott with First Command for almost ten years. He is professional, helpful and knowledgeable. He makes suggestions for our best interests but the choice is always ours what we want to do with our funds. We have increased our wealth, decreased our expenses and created nest eggs for our children and future. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jeff and the team there. I highly recommend Jeff as your advisor. He will do right by you and truly cares about your wealth, health and family.

First I would like to say I’m grateful to First Command for allowing a space for service members to properly get their finances together to ensure we are financially literate not for only ourselves but for our children later on down the road. I have the pleasure of being guided to my goals by Sean Quigley he has been great to work with, he listened to all of my concerns, and helped me build a wonderful financial portfolio that works specifically for me. I would recommend him to other people 100 percent. He has helped me on numerous occasions with big purchases to ensure I was not exceeding budget. I am thankful to Sean for getting me on track to healthy financial planning.

Top notch service! Tory Sokul is THE best financial advisor that First Command has to offer. Tory has provided me with the necessary guidance to be successful in all of my financial endeavors. He encourages those that come to him and does a wonderful job ensuring that they are always supported. I am very fortunate that I have chosen First Command and I would not be where I am today without the help of Tory!

Tory Sokul at the First Command office in Pensacola has been my financial advisor for the last 5 years and he has taken excellent care of me. It is very reassuring knowing that I have someone that is looking out for my best interests financially. I would highly recommend him.

My wife and I have relied on Tory Sokul at First Command Pensacola for financial services for years. We could not be happier with the responsive, professional, service that Tory and the entire First Command team provides. Tory’s help has provided my family and I with future financial security that lets me rest easier at night. We look forward to continuing our relationship with First Command Pensacola.

I've been working with Dave Larsen for a couple years now and all I can say is that it's been a great experience. I've never worked with a financial advisor who is as committed as Dave. He is always reaching out, giving me updates and is a great all around resource. Super fun guy as well.

I started working with Tory Sokul not understanding my own finances. Him & First Command in general puts out a very clear and obtainable plan for young people to start actually using their money better! I recommend to all of my friends and family all the time, couldn’t be happier with what they’ve done for me!

My family and I are extremely satisfied with the services, advice, and professionalism provided by Tory at First Command Pensacola. He has assisted numerous family members through changing life circumstance going above and beyond what could reasonably be expected from a financial advisor. He calms our fears in volatile financial market conditions and keeps us on target when we get a wild hair. We are lucky to have found him.

I have had the pleasure of working with Sean Quigley at First Command in Pensacola. Sean is an outstanding advisor who exhibits professionalism in every aspect of his work, and also keeps meetings relaxed and enjoyable. Sean has helped me align my goals in way that is far more structured and appropriate then I had previously established. He is extremely thorough in his explanations whenever I have questions, and takes time to address any and all concerns that arise during appointments. Sean helped me gain a strong understanding of various aspects of investment, retirement funds, and also the long-term benefits of insurance that nobody had ever pointed out to me. Sean is also an excellent advisor for those serving/or who have served in the military. He has a long and successful military career in his past, and he sympathizes with my own military experiences, financial and otherwise. He strikes me as someone who sincerely wants to help people get their finances in order, and he has certainly done so for me. Sean is one of the most professional people I have ever worked with, and I highly recommend his services to anyone seeking financial advice/planning.

I’ve had great experiences with First Command in the past and my positive opinion has only continued to improve by working with Tory at Pensacola’s location, and I get the impression that the whole office is composed of professionals who care about their clients. I am looking forward to having and working with First Command wherever I go in the future, whether it’s in Pensacola or another one of their locations!

Talk about piece of mind! Before working with Tory from First Command, I was always stressed about the future and whether I was saving enough for retirement. I was worried I didn’t have enough life insurance to support my family if something were to happen to me. I didn’t know how to determine how much life insurance and what kind of life insurance I needed. So, I decided to go to First Command for advice. My parents have trusted them with their retirement plan for years and they have nothing but good things to say about the company. I figured I would follow in their footsteps. And I’m glad I did!! Tory helped my husband and I see what we were spending and saving and what we were going to need come retirement time. It was all laid out for us in our very first meeting. Oh and I forgot to mention, my husband was in a terrible auto accident about a year and a half ago that has left him disabled. Tory understood the struggles of getting my husband out of the house and to his office, so he actually came to our house for our first meeting!! It was so convenient and I really appreciate him for that! During our second meeting, Tory laid out a plan to show us what we needed to do to help us retire comfortably. He also helped me understand the different types of life insurance and how much I should consider getting. He never forced us into a plan or rushed us to make any decisions. A year later, I’m so thankful we met with Tory that day. We are almost debt free (minus our mortgage), we finally have an emergency account, I am stress free knowing my super affordable life insurance plan will support my family, and we are on track to retire comfortably! Partnering with First Command has been a game changer for me and my family. I went from stressed about the future to totally excited about it! There’s no better feeling than having peace of mind! Thank you First Command! You’ve got a client for life!!

Had the pleasure of working with Sean Quigley in creating a great long term financial plan that carefully considers investments, my career, and eventual/potential life happenings. He took great care in explaining the risks and long term benefits of investments, where any of my money was/will be going, and how it effectively fit into a flexible and effective financial plan. Through our interactions, Sean has made it obvious that he is in it for my financial success.

Just coming out of college, First Command has helped me learn how to manage all of my finances and save for my future goals. Tory is always one phone call away to talk through any big or small financial decision. I highly recommend first command to all of my friends, and cannot speak highly enough about the Tory.Whether you are just starting out in the work force, or you have been working for many years, having a financial advisor creates a peace of mind. I cannot recommend First command Highly enough.

I've been a client of First Command Financial Services for about 20 years now. I've had multiple advisors throughout my many different duty stations. The Pensacola office is by far the best one I've worked with thus far. My advisor, Dave Larsen, has been nothing short of remarkable in helping me to plan for (and achieve) my financial goals. If you're looking for a financial advisor, check out the First Command Pensacola office! You won't be disappointed!

Tory is my advisor and over the last two years he’s totally set me up with the tools I need to suceed—in two years we’ve completely turned my finances around to where I don’t worry about anything anymore! He set everything up automatically so it’s very effortless. The best advisor! Ask for Tory Sokul!

I would highly recommended Dave Larsen and First Command. After years of contemplating using a financial advisor, we decided to go with First Command and Dave. Best decision we could have made. Dave was very supportive, patient and professional.

First command has made a huge impact on me and my wife's lives. After moving to Pensacola we were refered by a friend to meet with our current financial advisor, Tory and quickly realized he was someone we really needed. The peace of mind that we have now in regards to our current financial situation and our future financial goals really is an amazing feeling. The staff at first command are some of the most amazing friendly people who truly care about their clients and are able to connect with military members and spouses on a personal level, as most of them have served at some point themselves. They show their appreciation by hold amazing events to honor new clients as well as to give new clients opportunities to meet long time clients, in order to see first hand what staying with their company can do for you. All of them are incredibly smart and are in no way pushy or agressive, for the one star comments that people have posted I really don't think they are in regards to the right company or they could be a competitor trying to put down the good name of First Command. Joining First Command has been one of the best decisions my wife and I have made since being married and we in everyway plan on being life long members.

Dave Larsen has been my advisor since 2017. I’ve learned a lot about my finances and learning to save and invest. I always feel better about a big purchase after our discussions.
