OUR STORY

Centura Advisors, LLC is not your typical wealth management firm. We're a tight-knit team based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, with a unique story and a steadfast commitment to our clients' financial success. Let us introduce ourselves. 

      From EA Financial to Centura Advisors

In 2001, our journey began when two busy business owners, Tommy Besselman and Todd Guerin, established EA Financial, driven by their shared entrepreneurial spirit and passion for helping other small and medium-sized businesses succeed. As our expertise and services expanded, we evolved into Centura Advisors, LLC in 2013. This transformation allowed us to better serve the diverse needs of our growing client base. 

      Bridging the Gap in Financial Guidance

Tommy and Todd, themselves busy business owners, understood firsthand the unique challenges and aspirations of individuals like them. They recognized that managing multiple service providers to navigate the intricacies of financial affairs could be overwhelming for successful individuals and business owners. So, they set out to bridge this gap by founding Centura Advisors, LLC. 

Their vision was clear: to create a one-stop shop for comprehensive wealth management, saving clients precious time and empowering them to focus on their personal goals or business endeavors.

Fast forward two decades, and Centura has earned its stripes as a trusted wealth management partner for individuals, families, and businesses.

Today, we proudly manage over $300 million in assets.  

      The Centura Advantage: All Inclusive-Expertise

The Centura team is the heart of our operation. Our advisors have specializations in corporate retirement plans, asset management, financial planning, business planning, income strategies, and tax optimization. This diverse expertise ensures that you receive top-notch service for all of your financial needs under a single roof. That means you don't need to juggle multiple service providers. Instead, we make managing your finances seamless and effective by ensuring every piece of your financial puzzle fits together to create a comprehensive and effective financial strategy. 

      A True Fiduciary: Your Best Interests First

As an independent firm with no vested interest in proprietary products, our approach differs significantly from those who prioritize pushing costly investments and products for their own financial gain. We operate with unwavering commitment as true fiduciaries. What does that mean for you? It means we put your best interests before anything else. Your financial well-being is our sole priority. For us, this commitment extends beyond a simple obligation; it's a core principle that guides our every action. 

      More Than Advisors: Your Financial Family

Being a small firm is not just a characteristic for us; it's a powerful advantage that sets us apart in the financial services industry. In a world where many firms treat clients like numbers, we take pride in our ability to foster deeper, more meaningful relationships with our clients. When you choose us, you're not just hiring a financial advisor; you're joining a financial family that cares deeply about your success and well-being. 

Our story is about more than numbers; it's about people, relationships, and your financial journey. We invite you to join our Centura family and embark on a path toward financial security, growth, and fulfillment. Your goals are our goals, and we're here to help you achieve them every step of the way.
