About Appaiah Ballachanda

As financial professionals, we are committed to helping people just like you create solutions for their retirement assets. Once we understand your risk tolerance, time horizon, and goals, we'll work to develop a program that carefully balances investment strategies with preserving principal. In today's economic environment brings challenges. But along with challenges come opportunities and potential rewards.

Founder + Senior Wealth Strategist Appaiah Ballachanda never considered becoming a financial advisor. However, the struggle of a frustrated family member upset that she couldn't find an advisor willing to help her, that made him wonder how many others were ignored, and how he could change that? Appaiah wants to help you pursue your dreams. Three things set Appaiah apart from other financial advisers: 1. Appaiah's life experiences informs his family-first, global perspective. His boundless optimism is born from his journey as an immigrant, at age 32, from a region ruled by corruption, bribery, and a disregard for human life to the United States, where opportunity is available for the taking. 2. Appaiah's broad professional experience informs his unique insights. 3. Helping others pursue their goals is Appaiah's life work. That purpose is why he opened Abacus Financial in Henrico, Virginia in 2015, and that's what inspires him build a team of like-minded financial professionals who establish strong, trusting relationships with the people who serve.
