About

Our Origin

Founded in Thomasville, GA, von Hellens & Partners has grown from a local practice to a trusted financial advisory practice with clients across the country. Our founder, Erik von Hellens, has a diverse and impressive background—born in Finland, he was raised and attended school in both England and Australia before making his way to the U.S. to play college tennis. Erik’s international experience, and over 20 years as a successful and credentialed financial advisor, provides a distinct perspective that we believe enriches our approach to client relationships and financial planning.


Our Mission

Our mission is to empower our clients to achieve their financial goals. Whether that is a work-optional lifestyle, creating generational wealth for their families, or simply retiring comfortably with confidence that their needs will be covered as their lives evolve. Guided by Erik’s philosophy of a personalized approach using robust technology and financial planning tools, we place the highest value on trust and integrity in all our interactions.
