First Command Financial Advisor - Michael Bunting

Michael Bunting joined First Command Financial Services as a Financial Advisor in March 2006, following a 23-year career in the United States Army, where he attained the rank of CSM. Michael understands the challenges and opportunities associated with life in the military and is committed to helping service members and their families get their financial lives squared away.

A graduate of Campbell University with a Bachelor’s degree in Science, Michael holds Series 6,63,65,7, and 26 securities licenses plus life and health insurance licenses in Utah.

Understanding that the biggest obstacle to financial security for most people is their own behavior, Michael serves as a personal financial coach to clients, continually reinforcing positive financial behaviors. His thorough knowledge of military pay and benefits enables him to advise clients on how to navigate the Blended Retirement System, properly allocate their contributions to the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) and take full advantage of other benefits. Michael will work with you to establish specific, meaningful goals that are consistent with your values and then develop a personalized financial plan to guide your pursuit of those goals.

In his free time, Michael enjoys spending time with family, traveling, and working out.

Today, more than 500 First Command Financial Advisors across the country and abroad, many of whom also served, are committed to the company’s Mission of “Coaching those who serve in their pursuit of financial security.”
