My Story
A Leap of Faith
Hello, I'm Michael J. Gauthier, CFP®. My journey in financial planning has been one of faith, growth, and a deep desire to help others.
In 2013, I took a leap of faith and left my secure job at a national Wall Street firm to create something new. This calling led to the founding of Strategic Income Group — a wealth management company focused on empowering people from all walks of life to become better stewards of their money.
Since then, my mission has continued to evolve. I am passionate about teaching others how to use their God-given resources for God-given purposes. Over the years, my faith journey has profoundly shaped my work and life.
Through The Stewardship Blueprint, I'm sharing the framework I wish I'd had earlier — a practical, faith-rooted guide to designing a life of meaning, generosity, and lasting impact.
The Stewardship Blueprint
Why I'm Writing This Book
After years in faith-based financial planning, I saw a pattern: many people pursue money and status but feel unsatisfied. I began writing this book to help others discover what it means to be created for more — and to stop building the wrong life.

Strategic Income Group
Founded to help families build a solid financial foundation rooted in Biblical principles — not just wealth accumulation, but purposeful stewardship and generosity.
One of my favorite scriptures · 1 Timothy 6:17–19 (NIV)
"Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way, they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life."
1 Timothy 6:17–19 · New International Version
