Meet Ariel Hilario
Ariel Hilario began his career at AdviceOne in 2021 in the Advisor-in-Training program. He chose AdviceOne because of a desire to help families achieve their aspirations. Previously, he worked 5 years as a pharmacy technician where he first learned the value of helping people. He graduated from Marymount Manhattan College in 2020 with a double major in Finance and Digital Media & Video Production. While at MMC, he was a part of several clubs including Sports and Athletics Club, Film Club and Campus Activities Board, where he coordinated multicultural and diversity events. From those experiences, he was able to explore many passions.
Ariel is currently studying to become a Certified Financial Planner in order to give fiduciary-based advice. Outside of work, he plays piano, guitar and drums for his local community and teaches music during the weekends. The most important thing for Ariel is family. The sacrifices that his parents made are what pushes Ariel to ensure those sacrifices were worth it. He is a first generation American and he is dedicated to making the American Dream come true for himself, his family and those he works with.

The expertise of the team to navigate the RTX Gateway structure made the process much easier for us. The initial experience with our advisor and his team was a very in-depth assessment to develop a plan specific to our core values with their professional guidance and recommendations. They now actively manage our portfolio on an ongoing basis, and they are always available for any clarifications or questions we have. We have utilized their educational workshops and received help with everything from the process of actual retirement to estate planning, income tax planning, and now preparing my wife for retirement.

My wife and I started with AdviceOne a little more than 2 years ago. They were able to provide a thorough assessment of our status and goals for both our finances now and through retirement. The team is very knowledgeable, professional, and understanding of our needs.

We would like to express our thanks to the AdviceOne team for the work they have done with us over the past years to help position us for our retirement. It was the professionalism, knowledge of UTC/RTX compensation and savings programs and attention to detail that reassured us throughout the planning process. It was refreshing to work with a team who were interested in our circumstances – an engineer and a teacher, working across state borders. There were many decisions and actions to take, but everything was thoroughly explained, and we never felt uncomfortable asking questions or expressing an opinion. We especially like their succession planning so that we know that we have a team of resources to work with for many years to come.
