About GCES

Specialists in financial planning and federal retirement, the team at GCES have been helping clients achieve stability and reach their retirement goals for over 15 years.

As a veteran, our president Galen Bargerstock is no stranger to the difficulties that can arise when collecting your government benefits. That’s why it’s our mission at GCES to help you navigate all the different public and private avenues available to you, giving you peace of mind for more than just your savings.

All of GCES’s clients, whether federal employees or not, love our client-first approach that sets us apart. That’s why we’ve been named to the 2025 ‘Top 100 Organizations by PA Business Central’ and voted “Best Financial Planner & Customer Service” in Indiana County the last three years in a row! Our holistic method means it’s not just about your money at GCES, it’s about helping you achieve Health, Wealth AND Happiness.

GCES earned the rating of “Best Financial Planner” on July 26, 2023 based upon voting done from 04/12/2023 through 04/26/2023 and on July 31, 2024 based on voting done from 4/10/2024 through 4/24/2024 and on August 6th, 2025 based on voting done from 4/16/25 through 4/30/25.
