Dedicated to serving the military community

Serving in the military is such a noble cause. The duty, honor and sacrifice ignite our passion for serving your financial priorities and helping them make the most of your military careers and post-career business opportunities.

Gary Mac Mitchell, CEO of Cornerstone Retirement Advisors, is a U.S. Navy veteran himself and is very involved with The Navy League. His family legacy of service continues with his son, Mackenzie, who is an active member of the U.S. Navy Reserves.

Gary has firsthand knowledge of the challenges and opportunities inherent to the service life – and in life after service. As a fellow veteran, his goal is to be always of service to you and responsive to your needs. He will carefully design a financial plan and wealth strategy customized to your situation – to help you make the most of your personal wealth and federal benefits.

Whether you are a young military family just getting started or you’re retiring from the military and beginning a second career, Gary has the knowledge to offer financial guidance specific to where you are in life. He will carefully design a financial plan and wealth strategy customized to your situation.

His mission as an advisor is to make a difference in the lives of all military personnel, whether he is helping them plan for the transition to civilian life, a well-earned retirement and or building a multigenerational family legacy.

 

  • Many of the challenges that military families encounter fall to the spouse, who, in the absence of their spouse, must balance the responsibilities of managing the finances while raising a family and, in many cases, also managing a career. We apply our professional experience, as well as the robust resources of Raymond James, to serve the financial needs of military spouses.

  • Our affiliation with Raymond James is another important part of how we serve our military families. As one of the largest independent financial services firms in America, Raymond James enables us to offer you access to the robust resources and sophisticated products of an international investment services firm while never compromising our ability to focus on what’s most important: offering objective advice and putting your interests first.

  • Raymond James seeks to provide opportunities for veterans and military spouses. The firm is proud to be part of the Military Spouse Employment Partnership (MSEP) program of the U.S. Department of Defense. The MSEP is an employment and career partnership program connecting military spouses with partner-employers who have committed to recruit, hire, promote and retain military spouses in portable careers.

    Another way Raymond James has focused efforts on veteran recruiting is through our Advisor Mastery Program, which hosts recruiting events specifically for veterans who are interested in becoming a financial advisor.

We are a family-oriented team dedicated to guiding every member and generation of your family.
