About us
A planning firm that starts by listening.
Wright Park Wealth is a Western New York-based financial planning firm. We rest on a simple conviction: financial advice means more when it comes from a firm that has taken the time to understand your life.
Founder
Chris Porpiglia, CFP®
Founder and Financial Advisor
We begin every relationship with a conversation about your family, your goals, and what's weighing on you, then build the planning around what we learn. Our founder, Chris Porpiglia, holds the CFP® designation, and we work as fiduciaries, which means we're responsible for acting in the best interest of the people we advise.
- CFP® Professional
- Cash-flow-first planning
- Fiduciary approach
Meet someone, get to know them, connect on a human level, and then you start to understand how the pieces fit together for them.

How we think about the work
Relationships come before recommendations.
We get to know you and your family before we suggest anything, because advice that ignores your life rarely fits it.
Explanation is part of the service.
A recommendation you can't follow is hard to act on, so we explain the reasoning in plain language until the decision feels like yours.
Money is a means.
We begin with what you want your life to look like, then work backward to the financial decisions that support it.
Plans should keep pace with life.
Jobs change, families grow, and priorities shift. A plan worth having gets revisited as they do.
Why Wright Park
A park is one of the few places an entire community shares. Some visitors come for a ball game, some for the view of the lake, and some simply to walk the dog. The reasons differ, but the place is the same.
The name is a reminder of what we want this firm to be: tangible, lasting, and multi-generational. A place where people feel at ease asking questions.
“It's something tangible. It's something that lasts… When it relates to finances and wealth management, it's a level of comfort. It's a safe place where we can talk and hang out and unwind after work and ask questions.”
