About

Hi! My name is Ben Taylor Poulos. I am a CFP® practitioner. I was born and raised in California and for college I went to the University of Arizona where I completed my B.S in Biology with a focus in Biomedical Sciences. I've been in the valley for 8 years now and this is home.

So, who really am I and who are you dealing with? I am first an educator and a listener. All of my life I have naturally gravitated towards people and have wanted to lift everyone around me up. Coming out of High School I really didn't know what was right for my spirit. Was it a teacher? Was it a pastor? Was it going to be a NFL star? (Yeah right) Or at the very least play for the University of Arizona Wildcats? (My Sister's dream) This question lead me to continuing my football career at my local Junior College. While I was playing college football I went through two surgeries which led me down the path of wanting to become a physical therapist. Working through the process of learning how to walk and the excitement I saw on my therapist's face started my path down to Biology. A minor hiccup was the cost of it all and so I thought what's next? As a bartender and working with my local patrons, I found out that a lot of people in the service industry went into Real Estate or Finance. I'm very glad with the decision I made to go into Finance which led me to falling in love with Financial Planning as a career. To be able to give back to individuals, families and my community with a topic you don't get taught in school.

Friends, colleagues and even people on the street have told me that I have a face people can trust. And it's true, at the end of the day I will promise that If you take the step with me you will be heard on your wants and needs. And I'll make it my mission to be right next to you helping you make smart financial decisions working towards your goals.​​

I take a lot of pride in how I serve my clients and prospects and that is going to be a cornerstone at B&E Financial Services. Retirement planning, Financial planning, Personal finances or anything relating to a dollar sign, they don't teach you how to manage that in school. You have to go out there and seek out that information, and there is a lot of incorrect information so how do you know what's right for you or wrong? Well that is where I come in with my education approach.
