A Detailed Look at Your Big Picture

Comprehensive Planning Services

Everything from Families to Businesses

NAPFA-Registered Financial Advisors

Bienvenue Wealth is a fee-only Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) located in the heart of New Orleans, LA. The firm was founded to provide trusted, conflict-free financial guidance to our clients. We embrace consumer advocacy and work closely with young professionals—GenX investors in their 40s and 50s—who are committed to making better financial choices.

Our firm specializes in one thing: helping GenX investors like you leverage assets today to support your lifestyle tomorrow. All of our services are offered on a fee-only basis. We receive no compensation from any third party—a fact that gives us the freedom to recommend solutions that are right for you… not someone else’s commission check.

Our Team

Michael G. Rivas, CFP®, EA

Founder & CEO, CFP®, EA

Bienvenue Wealth was founded by Michael G. Rivas, CFP®, EA. Unlike many advisors who’ve learned financial planning from books alone, he has been living and breathing the world of finance his entire career. During his years working on the exchange floors in Chicago, he watched the investment process in action, saw how portfolios really work, and learned how to hedge by the minute—and the second. There’s more to financial planning than investments alone.
