Joe Chighizola
Financial Advisor
Empowering High-Achieving Professionals with Smart Financial Strategies for Today
Meet Joe
Outside of my financial practice, my main priority is spending quality time with family and friends, as they’re central to my life and inspire me daily. I’m also passionate about endurance sports, including triathlons, which allow me to challenge myself both mentally and physically. I find that training for endurance events requires the same dedication, resilience, and strategic planning that I bring to my work in financial advising.
Just as I carefully prepare for each race, I’m committed to helping my clients plan for their long-term goals with the same focus and determination. By aligning my personal interests with my professional approach, I strive to help others achieve their own milestones, both in life and in their financial journeys
My personal values of integrity, dependability, and empathy directly shape how I approach financial advising. I believe in building trusting, long-lasting relationships by always putting my clients' needs first and providing honest, transparent guidance. Just as I value preparedness and resilience in my personal life, I bring these qualities to my work, helping clients navigate life’s financial challenges with confidence and a long-term perspective.
By aligning my work with these values, I aim to empower clients to achieve their financial goals in a way that reflects their own values and aspirations.

Lending a hand in my community.
I believe that giving back to the community is an essential part of my role as a financial advisor. I’m actively involved in several organizations that focus on enhancing financial literacy and supporting local youth and professionals.
These experiences not only enhance my understanding of community needs but also reflect my commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of those around me.
Bank On Baton Rouge
Through Bank On, part of Capital Area United Way, I work to increase financial literacy in our community, empowering individuals to make informed financial decisions and improve their economic well-being.

Club Blue
I also participate in Club Blue, a social and philanthropic network of young professionals that supports the Boys and Girls Club, helping provide resources and opportunities for local youth to thrive.

Forum 225
I am a member of Forum 225, a group dedicated to creating opportunities for young professionals in Baton Rouge to grow philanthropically, professionally, and civically, fostering leadership and community engagement.
