Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Public Companies.

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — LPL Financial LLC announced today that the financial advisors of Paxel Financial Consulting have joined LPL Financial’s broker-dealer and Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) platform and will be leveraging Private Advisor Group’s infrastructure for the next stage of their growth. Led by Founder Chin Po, CPA, the team reported serving approximately $300 million in advisory, brokerage and retirement plan assets* and joins LPL from Cetera.

Founded in 1989, Paxel Financial Consulting has built its reputation on providing comprehensive guidance that integrates financial planning, estate planning and life planning. The firm’s advisors leverage their backgrounds to help clients make informed financial decisions through a coordinated and planning-efficient approach.

“We believe the best financial advice begins with understanding the complete picture of a client’s life,” said Po. “By combining financial planning and estate planning, we help clients pursue their goals with greater confidence and clarity. For many of the families we serve, especially those navigating the challenges of immigration and cross-border financial complexities, having an advisor who understands their unique circumstances can make a meaningful difference in their lives.”

The Paxel Financial Consulting team also includes financial advisors Young Po, Harry Lee, CPA, Jim Xu, CPA, and Gary Jiang, CPA. Together, the team collaborates across disciplines to provide integrated advice tailored to each client’s needs and long-term goals.

Why Paxel Financial Consulting Chose LPL

Paxel Financial Consulting selected LPL to enhance the client experience through expanded technology, greater flexibility and access to a broad range of investment and business solutions. The team was especially attracted to LPL’s ability to support independent advisors while allowing them to continue delivering independent, personalized guidance.

“LPL provides the flexibility, technology and resources that will help us continue elevating the value we bring to our clients,” said Po. “We believe this move strengthens our ability to deliver comprehensive advice while maintaining the independence that is central to our philosophy and the relationships we’ve built over the years.”

“The demand for holistic financial advice continues to grow, and Paxel’s integrated approach is a strong example of that trend. We’re thrilled to welcome the team and alongside LPL support what’s next in their journey,” added David Bogdanov, business development consultant from Private Advisor Group.

Marc Cohen, chief growth officer at LPL Financial, said, “We welcome Chin Po and the Paxel Financial Consulting team to LPL. For decades, they have built a valuable practice centered on comprehensive planning, deep relationships and a commitment to serving the unique needs of their clients. Their integrated approach to estate and financial planning aligns well with LPL’s commitment to helping advisors deliver differentiated value, and we look forward to supporting their continued growth.”
