Guia, an independent creative wealth advisor associated with Raymond James Financial Services, believes that effective wealth management results from a combination of elements: your past success and a vision for the future, blended with a financial plan and investment strategies compatible with your vision.

Guia founded G.P. Brown & Company in Jupiter, Florida, an accounting and tax firm that for 15 years specialized in services to small businesses, and served as tax counsel for DiVosta & Company, a prominent commercial and residential developer, before her transition to the financial services industry. Recruited by Morgan Stanley, she engaged in a national training program at the World Trade Center, New York City, and then successfully completed a contractual commitment as a financial advisor in West Palm Beach.

Guia then pursued her personal vision by opening her own practice, Worth Avenue Group, Inc in Palm Beach, and affiliating as a financial advisor with Raymond James Financial Services. Offices have since been added in Hobe Sound and Palm Beach Gardens. Guia has experienced a growing client base of businesses, families, retired couples and individuals, including a number of independent women.

Active in community service throughout her career, Guia served for seven years as a member of the Board of Directors and treasurer for Catholic Charities, Palm Beach Diocese. She has also been the Co-Chair of the Bishop's Reception and served on the Board of Directors for, Mar-a-Lago, Palm Beach; Advisory Board member, Interfaith Health and Wellness Association; Co-Chair,Southeast Chapter, Lupus Foundation's Best and Brightest event, which honored thirty distinguished women; Chair, Junior Achievement, Martin County; and a member of Rotary International, West Palm Beach, Florida.

Guia was born and raised in Manila, Philippines, the daughter of an attorney father and a mother who was the Chief Financial Officer of a major corporation. She received her pre-college education at University of Santo Tomas, one of the oldest and most venerable private educational institutions in Asia, followed by a degree in business administration, majoring in accounting, from the University of the Philippines. Post college, she was recruited by International Harvester Company, Manila, prior to her relocation to the UnitedStates.
