About Us

Our History

Our firm’s history began in 1961 when John P. Gillion Jr., who after completing service in the U.S. Army, became a Certified Public Accountant and began working in his hometown, Augusta, Georgia. Over his 60-year public accounting career, John gained the trust and respect of many friends, clients, and community leaders for his impeccable integrity and expertise. Over the years, John has led and served on numerous boards in the Augusta community, including the Exchange Club, Augusta YMCA, Brandon Wilde, St. Joseph’s Hospital, Boy Scouts of America, C&S/NationsBank, and Clinton-Anderson Hospital.

Money Advisors, Inc. was established in 1994 out of necessity for many of John’s tax clients in need of strategic investment planning services. John obtained the CFP designation in addition to his existing professional certifications and offered this valuable element to his accounting firm. With this combination as a CPA and Certified Financial Planner, his expertise and financial advice was constantly sought after. His tireless ability to research and analyze tax law, the state of our political environment and global economies is unmatched.

In 2017, after retiring as Managing Partner of Baird & Co. CPAs, John’s dedication to his clients and work ethic moved him to continue with financial planning and maintaining his investment advisory practice. Century Investment Planning was formed to identify Money Advisors, Inc’s core business operation. Alongside John, are Jack and Eleonora, both Registered Investment Advisors, who continue serving our clients with the same dedication and trusted service.
