Founder + Senior Wealth Strategist Appaiah Ballachanda never considered becoming a financial advisor. However, the struggle of a frustrated family member upset that she couldn't find an advisor willing to help her, that made him wonder how many others were ignored, and how he could change that? Appaiah wants to help you pursue your dreams. Three things set Appaiah apart from other financial advisers: 1. Appaiah's life experiences informs his family-first, global perspective. His boundless optimism is born from his journey as an immigrant, at age 32, from a region ruled by corruption, bribery, and a disregard for human life to the United States, where opportunity is available for the taking. 2. Appaiah's broad professional experience informs his unique insights. 3. Helping others pursue their goals is Appaiah's life work. That purpose is why he opened Abacus Financial in Henrico, Virginia in 2015, and that's what inspires him build a team of like-minded financial professionals who establish strong, trusting relationships with the people who serve.

Over the years, we have found that a team approach can be an effective method to help clients who have a wide variety of needs as they maneuver through a complex financial services world.
