What We Do
Briaud Financial Advisors has provided client-centric financial planning and investment management services for nearly 40 years. Since the beginning, we have never sold products on commission, opting instead to work for our clients only. Janet Briaud opened Briaud Financial Advisors in 1986 and became a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ a short time later. Janet had seen firsthand the conflicts that arise out of the commission-based model, so she established her business from the start as fee-only. This was considered a risky decision at the time, but it has proven to be the right one. Today, Briaud Financial Advisors is recognized nationally as a leading provider of financial planning and asset management services. Anyone interested in joining Briaud as a colleague should love helping others and love digging into complicated problems to find the best possible solution for clients. Briaud’s main office is located in College Station, Texas, a college town centrally located between the growing cities of Houston and Austin.
