Chris Hoffman
Founder, Investment Advisor Representative
Chris Hoffman founded Hoffman Financial Group with one goal in mind: being the go-to advisor for professionals wanting to retire. Armed with a radical passion for smart financial strategies, Chris is relentless in guiding and protecting his clients from unwise decisions and market loss. His top-tier investigative skills, critical thinking, and uncanny intuition have led him to becoming one of Atlanta’s most recognized financial advisors.
Chris strongly believes in full-service retirement planning, meaning a growth target is never enough. He’s personally seen too many retirements suffer from lack of protection strategy and income plan—a prevalent problem he works hard to rectify through integrity, honesty, and ethics in his company. Hoffman Financial Group has been featured as an accredited business by the Better Business Bureau and partners with Retirement Wealth Advisors (RWA).
