About Glenn Van Gieson Financial Advisor

Glenn A. Van Gieson entered the financial service industry in 1979 and established his financial planning practice in 1987 in Northeast Pennsylvania.

VanGieson provides financial planning and investment management services. Glenn Van Gieson created VanGieson in 2017 after operating for the previous 24 years under the corporate name PennFirst Advisors, Inc. The decision to do business as VanGieson came from a need to better differentiate the financial planning firm from his other PennFirst companies.

Glenn began his professional career in 1979. He is a 1990 graduate of The College of Financial Planning in Denver, Colorado. He is certified by the CFP Board of Standards as a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional and is licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Insurance and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking & Securities.

In addition to the education, experience, and certification, Glenn is a former college soccer player, self-appointed groundskeeper and all-around horticulturalist at home, and enjoys nights out at the movies and dancing with his beautiful wife, Beatriz. He’s also proud of the miles he puts on his pickup truck traveling around the country shopping for antiques with Bea.

Glenn and Bea live in Tannersville, PA and have two grown daughters and two granddaughters.

Most people think all financial planners are “certified,” but this isn’t true. Just about anyone can use the title “financial planner.” Only those who have fulfilled CFP Board’s rigorous requirements can call themselves a CFP® professional.

CFP® professionals are held to strict ethical standards and must acquire several years of experience related to delivering financial planning services to clients and pass the comprehensive CFP® Certification Exam before they can call themselves a CFP® professional.

Financial planning is a dynamic process. Your financial goals may evolve over the years due to shifts in your lifestyle or circumstances such as an inheritance, career change, marriage, house purchase or a growing family. As you begin to consider how best to manage your financial future, you should feel confident knowing that with a CFP® professional, you’re working with someone committed to providing the highest standard of financial planning.
