His philosophy is simple yet powerful: true value comes from focusing on the individual most directly impacted by the service provided. This people-first approach has shaped his leadership style and continues to guide the way GillmanBagley operates.
“It’s all about people. Service is not just about products — it’s about building relationships that matter.”
As a founding partner, Michael is deeply committed to driving GillmanBagley’s mission of delivering the highest standard of service and funding solutions through a personal, consultative approach. He believes that success is measured not only by the capital provided but by the trust, confidence, and long-term impact created for each client.
Today, Michael leads with the same dedication that has defined his career: putting people first, ensuring every client feels supported, and fostering a culture built on service, trust, and integrity.

Partner
For three decades I’ve been involved with both client and employee relationships within the financial services industry. During this time of serving people and businesses alike, I’ve learned to focus on the individual most directly impacted by the value of the service provided. This focus has given me a personal motive of service as I tell my team, “it’s all about people”. As a founding partner of GillmanBagley, I’m especially excited to drive our mission which is to provide the highest standard of service and products available through a personal consultative relationship.
Matthew Gillman
Partner
Growing up in a family of entrepreneurs it was always my mission to work with business owners. I focused all my efforts and built my career to provide the best service and solutions to the small business community. We founded GillmanBagley to be a valued and trusted partner that business owners could rely on. At the end of the day capital is a commodity, there are dozens of lenders and banks to choose from, so we always have to ask ourselves, why should someone choose us? We have to earn our reputation every day, stand behind our core values and the services we offer.
