Garrett McGovern

Garrett is focused on providing the families of Barrington Wealth Management (BWM) with comprehensive financial planning, which is why he became a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional in 2020. Becoming a CFP® practitioner means more than just a couple letters at the end of Garrett’s name. It means acting with honesty, integrity, competence, and diligence and putting the client’s interests first.

Garrett’s priorities at BWM center around the family. Participating and listening in family meetings, constant communication via email or over the phone and providing advice that empowers each family and moves them closer to their goals are just some of his responsibilities. Garrett sees the value in having an office that is extremely family focused and so he works diligently with other members of the BWM Team to ensure their approach is one that encompasses the whole family’s financial goals and priorities.

Garrett realizes families and individuals come to find BWM at all different stages of life and has had the opportunity to work with startups, young professionals, successful business owners and very affluent families. Garrett is passionate about empowering the families of BWM and recognizes the important role he and the BWM Team play in their lives.

Furthermore, service is something Garrett has always been passionate about. When he lived in New York City, he was active within Hope for New York (https://hfny.org/), Project Sunshine (https://projectsunshine.org/) and the Bowery Mission (https://www.bowery.org/), and now he is a board member of an organization that was founded by the Quigley family called Hope’s In (www.hopesin.org). He comes from a family of seven so serving and caring for others is something he has a lot of experience with.

Garrett is honored to be serving the clients of Barrington Wealth Management. Below are a couple of Garrett’s favorite articles posted on the Barrington Wealth Management website:
