Our Approach
We don't just manage money. We build a roadmap for what matters to you.
Most people think wealth management is about picking stocks or chasing returns. The truth is far more practical: it's about creating a system that aligns your finances with your actual goals — retirement, your business, your family's security, the milestones that keep you up at night.
At Gentry Partners, Armando Salas takes a holistic view. Every recommendation is evaluated through the lens of your complete financial picture, not one isolated piece. That means less noise, fewer surprises, and a plan you can actually follow through on.
Clarity First
Every plan starts with understanding where you are — and where you want to go.
Services
Comprehensive financial services tailored to your situation
Whether you're preparing for retirement, growing a business, or protecting what you've built — we cover the full spectrum of wealth management.
Business Owner Services
From succession planning and key employee benefits to retirement plan design and personal wealth separation — we help business owners protect both their enterprise and their family.
Risk Management & Insurance
Life, disability, long-term care, and liability coverage are all pieces of a complete strategy. We evaluate your exposure and build a safety net that actually fits your risk profile.
Investment Management
We build diversified portfolios aligned with your time horizon, risk tolerance, and goals — then manage them actively so you're not caught off guard when markets shift.
Estate & Legacy Planning
Your wealth should protect the people you care about. We coordinate with your legal and tax advisors to ensure your assets pass according to your wishes — efficiently and with minimal stress.
Tax-Efficient Strategies
Taxes can erase years of careful planning. We structure accounts, withdrawals, and investments to minimize your tax burden while staying fully compliant.

03
Custom Plan
You receive a clear, written financial plan with specific recommendations, projected outcomes, and a timeline you helped shape. Every dollar has a purpose.
04
Ongoing Partnership
Life changes, and your plan should too. We meet regularly, monitor your progress, and adjust as needed — so you're never navigating alone.
Common Questions
What people ask before working with us
A Certified Financial Planner™ has met rigorous education, examination, experience, and ethics requirements. CFP® professionals are held to a fiduciary standard — meaning they must act in your best interest at all times. It's one of the most respected designations in the financial services industry.
We work with clients at various stages — whether you're just starting to build wealth, preparing for a major life transition, or managing significant assets. What matters most is that you're ready to take a proactive approach to your financial future. Reach out for a conversation and we'll be straightforward about whether we can help.
We believe in transparency. During your initial consultation, we'll explain our fee structure clearly so there are no surprises. We typically work on a fee-only basis, meaning we're compensated directly by you — not by commissions on products we recommend. This alignment keeps your interests first.
Our primary focus is the El Paso community, where we maintain an office at 5925 Silver Springs Dr. However, we do work with some clients remotely. If you're unsure whether we can assist from your location, reach out and we'll let you know.
The first meeting is a discovery call — part conversation, part evaluation. We'll discuss your goals, your current financial situation, and any concerns you have. It's also your chance to ask questions and get a sense of whether our approach is right for you. There's no sales pitch, just an honest assessment of how we might help.
Absolutely. Business owners, professionals with stock options, families navigating inheritance, and individuals with multi-generational planning needs are all part of our typical client base. Complex situations require coordinated strategies, and that's exactly where comprehensive financial planning adds the most value.
