About Aaron Gaines, CFP®
Founder & President, Gaines Capital Management
I’m Aaron Gaines, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ and Founder of Gaines Capital Management. For more than a decade, I’ve helped individuals and families make the most of what they’ve worked a lifetime to build. My passion is walking alongside retirees — simplifying the complex, bringing clarity to uncertainty, and crafting plans that turn financial questions into confident decisions.
I earned my degree in finance from the University of Alabama and began my career in financial planning shortly after. Over the years, I’ve worked with hundreds of families to create personalized strategies for income, investments, tax efficiency, estate preservation, and insurance protection. My approach is grounded in wisdom, stewardship, and long-term relationships — not product pitches or one-size-fits-all advice.
In founding Gaines Capital Management, I set out to build something different — a boutique firm that combines deep planning expertise, personalized service, and a thoughtful approach to retirement. I believe retirement should be more than just getting by — it should be purposeful, well-prepared, and deeply fulfilling.
Outside the office, my greatest joy is my faith and my family. I live in Atlanta with my incredible wife, Kelsey, and our two amazing children, Alina and Carter. We’re active members of Passion City Church, and when I’m not meeting with clients, you’ll likely find me traveling with my family, spending time outdoors, or cheering on the Atlanta Braves and Alabama Crimson Tide.
At Gaines Capital Management, I help clients steward their wealth with wisdom and purpose, so they can retire with confidence and live with meaning.
