Sean Gillespie, CFP®
Partner, APFORIA, LTD
Sean Gillespie is a founding partner of APFORIA, LTD, a fee-only Registered Investment Advisor platform designed to serve the unique needs of independent advisors. Alongside partners Adrienne Ross and Paul Allen, Sean launched APFORIA to address the operational and compliance roadblocks he encountered while building a firm dedicated to serving military families. When existing RIA platforms couldn’t meet the team’s fiduciary, multi-state, and mission-driven requirements, they built the one they needed—APFORIA.
Sean is also the co-founder of Redeployment Wealth Strategies, a fee-only advisory firm serving active duty, retired, and transitioning military families. His own transition from military service to financial planning gave him firsthand insight into the challenges and opportunities service members face—insights that continue to shape his client work and his contributions to the APFORIA community. As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, Sean is deeply committed to the values of clarity, transparency, and service.
Whether mentoring advisors or supporting tenant firms through growth and transition, Sean brings strategic vision, a clear operational lens, and a deep sense of purpose to his work at APFORIA. He believes independent advisors should have freedom and infrastructure to build practices that reflect their values and deliver transformational outcomes for their clients.
