ABOUT Sam McElroy

As one of the co-founders and partner of @financial and @financial investments, Sam has always made every effort to go a step beyond your typical financial advisory firm by utilizing “client focused” discovery, planning, and implementation processes aimed at creating tailored solutions for both businesses and individuals.  In addition to traditional planning concepts, Sam has focused on the development of a practical, "natural consequences," based approach to customizing effective solutions on an individual basis. 

Sam McElroy graduated from Hampton University, magna cum laude, and holds several financial licenses. In addition to co-founding @financial and @financial Investments, Sam also acts as a business consultant and holds a Doctorate in Psychology.  Sam has always placed a large value on community involvement as well as education and engages in furthering the development of financial literacy through the continued development of @financial's Public Education Series as well as programs associated with both national and local non-profit organizations.  This passion for continued learning and personal development has lead Sam to focus on developing programs and services aimed to help individuals and their children to pursue their own educational endeavors and helping to make it possible students to receive the best education possible for the most affordable cost.

Sam has also contributed research examining social dynamics and methods for optimizing cooperation and efficiency in team, group, and work settings, and is currently exploring unique insights with respect to the psychology of personal finance.
