Chad Olivier

Chad embarks on each day in the financial services industry with the same passion that began nearly 30 years ago, following his graduation from Northeast Louisiana University. He began his career as a stockbroker but quickly realized that the essence of successful financial planning lies in building meaningful relationships. This insight inspired him to become a financial advisor.

Today, Chad is a prominent CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® practitioner and the owner of the Olivier Group, an innovative wealth management firm based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. For more than two decades, he has built a distinguished reputation for ethical and client-centered financial planning. Chad holds multiple securities registrations, including Series 7, 24, 52, and 63, and maintains insurance licensing. His advanced qualifications include Certificates in Family Business and Wealth Advising from the Family Firm Institute, as well as a Certified Exit Planning Advisor designation from the Exit Planning Institute—credentials that enhance his ability to guide business owners through complex financial transitions.

Chad has earned accolades across industry and regional platforms for his leadership and dedication. He has appeared on Forbes’ Best-in-State Wealth Advisors list in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025. His firm, the Olivier Group, is recognized as Best of Baton Rouge – Wealth Advisors for 2025 and is also featured as the Face of Wealth Management by Baton Rouge Parents Magazine.

Chad remains actively involved in the professional community through his membership in the Baton Rouge Financial Planning Association and the Baton Rouge Estate and Planning Council. He contributes regularly to the financial planning field as a writer for the Journal of the Louisiana Dental Association and is the author of The Resourceful Dentist and What Medical School Did Not Teach You About Financial Planning. He also shares his financial knowledge on the “Money Talks” segment of a Baton Rouge news broadcast, offering valuable insights and practical advice on a variety of financial topics.

Outside of his professional life, Chad is a devoted family man. He and his wife Rose are proud parents to Conrad, Cole, Christopher, and Charles Max. Their son Cole is on the Autism Spectrum, and both Chad and Rose are actively involved in the special needs community. Their advocacy includes supporting organizations and programs that provide resources and assistance to individuals with special needs and their families.
