Monica takes the time to truly get to know her clients, their needs, and their goals. She clearly presents the best ways to reach financial goals but understands how life sometimes does not allow what looks great on paper to happen. She is very supportive and caring as well as very patient with our many questions.

Becky and I have been clients with Pax for over 20 years. They have always made us feel like family and not just a number. They help you understand what it means to save, and they take the time to know each couple or client. I feel that is so important these days. Monica has only been our advisor for a short period and right off she made us feel like family. She really cares about us and takes the time to make sure we understand how we will PIVOT. I will be retiring in April, and I am so happy that Monica and PAX will be on the journey with us. We are in good caring hands with Monica.

I am a newer client to PAX and have been working with the excellent Haley and Kaylee team for the past few months. From the start, Haley has been stellar in connecting and explaining PAX services. Appreciate her transparency and building trust. Also continuously adding to my financial thinking. She is remarkably accommodating to individual style and kindly answers all questions on many topics. Both Haley and Kaylee are caring and patient listeners, very warm and positive. Quick in response and skillful in making things happen, I am grateful for their constant top level help with financial management and planning. Much respect and thanks!

My husband and I have been clients of Pax for easily over ten years now. Recently we were assigned to Monica Cervantes as our Financial Advisor and had our annual meeting and review with her. Monica is knowledgeable, professional, friendly, down-to-earth and easy to talk to. I know the word fun does not typically go hand in hand with meetings with your Financial Advisor, but ours was and we came away from it with feelings of pride for all of our hard work, great hope for our future, and thankfulness to Monica for taking the time to meet with us and guide us on this next part of our financial journey. Thanks, Pax and Monica!

I engaged PAX Financial to handle my retirement funds over 20 years ago. As a result, despite the ups and downs of the market, in retirement and I have not had the burden of worrying about my finances being in good hands. It’s a great feeling to know that my hard earned savings are safe, protected, and in good hands. It’s a blessing to have this fiduciary relationship with PAX.

I've always been someone who struggled with making sense of finances and anxiety around finances after being raised in a household that struggled to make ends meet. I decided that I should find a fidicuary last year, and I'm so happy that my journey led me to Monica Ricks at PAX. Monica has been incredibly patient with my endless questions and does a fantastic job of offering guidance in a way that actually makes sense to me, something that countless hours spent in seminars, reading books, and participating in online communities couldn't accomplish. I finally feel in control and confident in my finances and my son's future--something that I definitely couldn't have accomplished without her expertise and empathy. If you are considering working with a fidicuary, consider this as your sign to work with PAX Financial Group. I really can't recommend and thank Monica enough for everything she's done to help my family put our best foot forward. 🖤

We were looking for someone to review our holdings and find any missing links. We also wanted a firm that was committed and supportive of our view that we are stewards of the money God had gifted to us and our choice to live a debt free lifestyle. We have been working with Joseph Schuetze and his team for three years now and it has been an outstanding experience. Everyone we have interacted with at their firm has communicated the same message and values. The people their are professional, dedicated, and supportive. They introduced us to the idea of biblical responsible investing and after some research we committed to that idea. We look forward to working with PAX for many years to come.

Over the last three decades, my husband and I have done seminars and Financial Peace University with Dave Ramsey. After seeing how his plan works, we were anxious to find a financial advisor that shared those principles and values. That's when we met Darryl Lyons at PAX and later David Alvarez. We have been so grateful and blessed by these trusted advisors and are thankful for the advice and guidance that they have given us. Both Darryl and David are very knowledgeable, have teachers' hearts, are patient and kind as they explain things in terms that we can understand. They listen to our goals and concerns and provide a plan that is tailored to our needs and future successes. They share our values and have put us in investments that also share those principles and values. There is no pressure or hard sales pitch. They are very easy to talk to and provide a calm and encouraging atmosphere where we can learn and grow. We trust them and have confidence in their advice. Overall, we are thankful to have Darryl and David in our corner.

We have been working with Joseph and Pax for at least 15 years. We began as a young married couple with a 2-year-old and Joseph guided us given the means we had to purchase life insurance and start a college fund for our little guy. Since then Joseph and the rest of the team have been very helpful in giving us options to make sure we can support our boys while in college as well as ourselves with the type of retirement we want to experience. Joseph and the team show such care for us and our family. I continue to recommend Pax anytime anyone asks about financial advisors!

We were familiar with PAX for years, as Dave Ramsey's team had identified the firm as having "the heart of a teacher, rather than the heart of a salesman". That could not be more accurate! We began working with Joseph Schuetze, one of the co-founders of PAX, several years before John retired. Joseph addressed all of our present and future concerns, and he clearly answered my hundreds of questions. He was determined to set up a plan to match our goals and values. Once John retired, we fully invested our assets with Joseph. We have full confidence in his long term vision, and we can sleep soundly, regardless of market changes and world events.

My wife and I have been working with David for several years. We have seen great results along the way, though some tumultuous times. He, and PAX as a whole, seem to see the big picture well. He has used that picture to put our goals forefront and make the right moves at the right time. He also is great about respecting our time. He lets us know what is going on but does not schedule un-necessary updates to justify a calendar.

My husband and I have worked with David at PAX for a few years now and could not be happier. We knew after our initial meeting that David and PAX were the right fit for us. There was absolutely no pressure selling but rather an in depth conversation about our financial goals. The discussion was very relatable and understandable as well. We didn't have to be experts in the investment world to have a conversation but rather talked about things in life we'd like to be able to do, and David helped us to arrive at how our financial plan could enable the achievement of those goals. He checks in with us regularly but is not overbearing. We absolutely trust the guidance and support of the team at PAX and are so grateful for the relationship with them.

Picked up on PAX via accolades of Dave Ramsey quite a few years ago! We immediately stepped into a relationship with Joseph Schuetze that has proven to be a lasting gift both financially as well as personally. Joseph has shown his expertise is second to none and It is certainly our plan to continue this association. Overall….A+ rating for Joseph and his staff!

I want to take this opportunity to express the confidence I have In PAX Financial Group and in my trusted advisor, Joseph Schuetze. I came to him maybe 15 years ago while still working, in debt, spending and not saving and with a poor overall outlook to ever retire! Joseph mentored me and taught me and helped me to get back on track, to make and stick to a budget. Ten years later I did retire to be a caregiver....free of debt and comfortable in retirement. It was never easy, but it was doable, and I am forever grateful to him and the PAX team. They loved and supported me throughout the journey and continue to make sure I stay on track. They are the best!

15 years ago we earnestly started looking forward to retirement. Up to that point, our plans and actions involved putting money into retirement accounts and that's about it. So based on a recommendation off the Dave Ramsey financial website, we choose PAX out of the list of locally endorsed providers. Made a call and within days we nervously walked into the offices for a meeting with Bryan Wing. And we've never looked back. Over 15 years, Bryan has educated us (with much patience I must add) about the financial world, to include explanations of their products, software used, the history of PAX, the history of the financial markets, thoughts of the future of financial markets, and how PAX and us fit into that bigger fiscal world and how that world fits into our plans. He has defined many terms and processes for us that were unfamiliar and/or confusing for us to understand. And we never felt or though we were being talked down to. We tend to think of our meetings as visits with Bryan, it's not business - it's pleasure. Our visits include discussions of our plans of the present and future, emotional wants and life events that may happen to affect our portfolio, and also a way to share our finances which is vital and important to us. We've developed a deep relationship of trust and respect. As the years passed, we went through many of stages in life - from being two working parents with children at home, to parents taking care of their own parents while still raising children, to now empty nesters who are retired, grandparents and debt free. All while weathering the storms and picnics of the financial markets. The common denominator was the fact that while we were ones driving the train, Bryan Wing was shoveling the coal providing what we needed to get to that next station in life. It was the Little Engine That Could and Did! Yes, Bryan Wing and PAX have provided the financial sense for us and we could have given a review that detailed all of that and concentrated on the business side of that, and why you should come to them because they are fiscally savvy. But it is truly the trust we have placed in him and them, and what he/they did with that trust that makes us keep wanting to continue our relationship. It doesn't matter how much money you have or don't have - they're going to answer the call no matter what. We guarantee that when you hang up the phone you'll feel better and after your first meeting/visit, pat yourself on the back!

When I inherited some money from my mother, I had no idea at all how to invest it, where to invest, what was safe, the ins and outs of financial planning...nothing. Both Joseph and Haley spent hours with me explaining (in language I could understand) how things worked. They gave great advice, but I always felt as if the decision was mine about where and how to invest. It's hard to put a value on peace of mind, but that's what I have with PAX.

Financial Planning with a Company Who Truly Cares About Their Clients

My wife and I have used PAX for over 20 years. Darryl Lyons and his team are highly skilled, professional and approach their clients with a hands on personal touch! The actual services are matched specifically to each client. We set our financial plan for our future and PAX was there every step of the way until my retirement. I have since lost my dear wife, who actually was the financial strength of my family. What she and PAX laid out for our financial security has allowed my family and me to move on with the confidence that all will be ok. During the good and yes the challenging times, Darryl and PAX has been there for us, not only with financial guidance, but with the strength of a company based on strong Christian values.

My husband and I started using PAX soon after we married based on the Dave Ramsey locally endorsed providers list. We have had great experience with their team and have never wanted to leave. They've helped us plan for our future and have taken great care of us. Their office is nice, clean, and professional. Their staff is courteous and professional. Our current advisor, Roger Stucke, is great! He remembers everything about us and our situation and makes great suggestions to keep us moving forward with our future goals and plans. I have always recommended PAX and have sent several family members to them.

I was one of the first customers with Pax Financial. Darryl and I went to church together even though we had never met. I began investing money through Pax and i have benefitted greatly. My husband had an oil field company which was growing. Pax Financial began to grow and i consider it very successful now. We have enjoyed getting to know Darryl and his family over the years. We have attended events at Pax Financial and Darryl and his wife have attended several events with us. I have enjoyed and trusted everyone I have worked with. I have benefitted financially from their service and advise. I would strongly advise doing business with them. You won’t be disappointed Mary Moorman.

My wife and I have been guided by 2 different advisors at PAX, and both have been exceptional. The session in which we were asked to place our financial priorities in order from top to bottom was enlightening and encouraging. We learned that our risk tolerance was very similar and subsequent investment strategies were developed with those preferences in mind. Over several years, we have called or emailed with questions when we read or hear something, and always receive thoughtful, incisive guidance. Often, the suggestion/advice we asked about was very appropriate for the friend who offered the advice, but clearly did not fit our situation and unique “financial personalities”. We arrived at PAX with Dave Ramsey financial planning and a savings plan firmly in place, but we were pleased to learn of better options to tweak our investments. Best of all, our sophomoric questions that were handled with patience and we learned a lot. We believe our financial future is all up to God, but that we are confident we are being good stewards of His resources with guidance from PAX. We couldn’t be more pleased.
