It Started With a Simple Observation: Nobody Teaches This.
The biggest financial decisions most people will ever make aren't complicated because the math is difficult. They're complicated because nobody ever taught them how money actually works.
Mario began helping families navigate financial decisions in 1994. What he saw in those early years never left him: capable, hardworking people making the most important decisions of their lives without the education to make them confidently.
That observation became a career. He founded BGS Capital Management to serve families and business owners as a financial advisor. He founded BGS Assurance to bring continuing education to the professionals those families rely on. He took the message to conference stages, university classrooms, podcasts, and eventually to the page, publishing The Art of Creating Wealth and, most recently, The Art of Preserving Wealth.
Financial literacy is one of the greatest gifts we can pass to the next generation.
Mario Sicari is the Director and Founder of BGS Capital Management, which currently has over $400 million in assets under management. He is licensed in 27 states, served on the Cetera Executive Council from 2012–2021 and the Cetera Diamond Council from 2022–2025, and has been named a NJ Five Star Wealth Manager in 2017, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2024. But the numbers were never the point. The mission has always been the same: help people understand their money, so they can own their decisions.
