AXA Advisors

Ilyas Akbar

Welcome to my web site.

As a financial professional for AXA Advisors, LLC, I assist individuals and businesses in the development and implementation of strategies to help meet their long-term financial objectives.

I obtained my Bachelor's Degree in Accounting at Syracuse University and hold a professional designation as a Certified Public Accountant (CPA).*  Prior to joining AXA Advisors I was in public accounting with KPMG LLP.

My educational background, and professional experience has driven me to use a systematic approach in working with my clients to determine their financial goals and investment objectives. The next step is to create a strategy to address these goals and objectives. Then as a registered representative of AXA Advisors, LLC, I will recommend the appropriate products and services to execute the strategy. My goal is to empower my clients with the information they require to make sound financial decisions.

In my spare time I like to travel, exercise, and spend time with my family. In addition I mentor two high school students, and serve on the advisory board of the Empowered Mentee Family, a not-for-profit organization.

Take a moment to browse through some of the features of my web site, which includes helpful financial calculators and newsletters on a variety of topics.

Thank you for visiting my web site and I look forward to working with you in the near future.

 

*I do not provide accountancy services in my role as a financial professional with AXA Advisors.
