David McGuire

Co-Founder, Financial Adviser*

As a financial advisor and the co-founder of McGuire and Wright Financial Group LLC, Dave McGuire understands the financial challenges his clients face and the opportunities they have to overcome them. Armed with more than a decade of money management experience and a genuine passion for helping other people learn to thrive financially, Dave absolutely loves what he does and enjoys the role he plays in his clients’ lives.

Dave works primarily with pre-retirees and retirees, successful executives and professionals, and closely-held business owners, and taking great care of their needs is his priority. He aims to go above and beyond their expectations, present new and innovative ideas to achieve their goals, and to continuously look after their best interests with the highest degree of integrity.

Dave earned a bachelor's degree in finance from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, and has been a member of the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (NAIFA) since he started in the industry in 2009. His experience allows him to provide unbiased guidance for his clients in key areas such as retirement income strategies, asset protection, estate planning, business planning, and more. He has been a qualifying member of the Million Dollar Roundtable1 (MDRT) every year since 2011, and is also proud to be a recipient of many industry awards, including MDRT’s Court of the Table the last two years (2018/2019), and the prestigious NAIFA Four under Forty award in 2013.

When he’s not in the office, Dave enjoys serving his community through the Excelsior Masonic Lodge in Medway where he and his fellow members do a variety of charity projects throughout the year. He’s also proud to be a member of a study group comprised of other financial advisors across the nation where they get together throughout the year to share innovative financial strategies with each other.

Family is incredibly important to Dave, and he loves spending time with his wife, Nicolette, and his children, Fiona and Joseph. His parents, sister, and extended family also live close by, and they get together as much as they can. As any parent with young children knows, they keep you very busy, but when he has time to himself, you can usually find Dave on the golf course or taking in a Red Sox, Patriots, or Celtics game.

If you’d like to learn more about Dave and how he may be of service to you, you can call or email him any time to schedule a consultation.

“With every client I serve, my goal is for them to consider me as a trusted partner who always over-delivers on service, and I want them to know they can count on me to empower them with the best possible solutions to maximize and protect their wealth.”
