The primary goal of Black Swan Financial Solutions is to educate. We want you, as a client, to understand your situation better when you leave the office. Additionally, the goal is to provide a better understanding of the tools available and build a personalized long-term strategy. Utilizing our analytical background and skills, financial strategies and management are tools available to help you achieve your goals.
The Black Swan Financial Solutions’ focus continues to be on the military community. As a service-connected disabled veteran, Eric’s emphasis is on serving veteran small-business owners and the military community as a whole. Providing financial advice to those that serve our country, whether in the military or as a civilian, is the reason he chose to become a financial advisor. Understanding client goals and providing value to the clients to help achieve their financial goals provides great personal satisfaction. Knowing their long-term goals are important, not only to my clients, but to Black Swan Financial Solutions, sustains the motivation to continue to serve.
Whether it is retirement, education or other financial goals, or just preparing for the unexpected, having a strategy is imperative. Helping you understand your situation and develop a strategy to meet your goals is our number one priority.

Before becoming a financial advisor, our President, Eric O’Neill, grew up in small-town Iowa. He was active in all facets of school (sports, music, academics, etc.). Away from school, there was always work. Whether it was walking beans, bailing hay, cleaning horse stalls, installing fences, building grain bins or just simply counting cows in the deep cold of winter, there was always work to be done. Growing up in a farming community, he learned about work ethic, integrity and the importance of community.
Eric left the Midwest farm life for the military and a new community and served in the US Army from 1992 to 1996, then supported DoD contracting efforts for over 20 years after being discharged.
Eric is married and has four children, two daughters and two sons, and three grandchildren. Eric enjoys the outdoors, hunting, fishing and spending time relaxing by a campfire.
