Cyrus Shabaz, CFP®
Senior Financial Advisor
Cyrus S. Shabaz CFP® has been a financial advisor with Box Financial Advisors since attaining his CFP® (Certified Financial Planner™) designation in 2002. He earned his Bachelor’s degree in Financial Management in 3 years from Hamline University in 1992.
Cyrus began his financial services career in 1993 working with institutional money management firms across the Twin Cities as an investment analyst and trader. He started out buying and selling commercial paper and treasury bills. Before long, he was added as an assistant to a private placement team. Cyrus was fortunate in his career to be on the Municipal, Corporate, Options and Securities Lending trading desk as a trader. His thorough understanding of such a wide variety of investments has created a great foundation for his career as a financial planner. As an advisor, Cyrus practices in the areas of retirement, investment and estate planning. More specifically, Cyrus seeks to help people who are in “transition.” People in transition are those who are planning for or in the middle of a major change in their life, such as retirement, the loss of a spouse, selling a business or estate planning for the next generation.
Cyrus was born and raised in Minnesota and now calls Lakeville, MN home. Growing up with strong Minnesota values, he combines practical advice with a conservative mindset to guide his clients.
Cyrus finds his greatest enjoyment is spending time with his children and family. "I am so blessed to have a son who also is also passionate about helping people in their navigation through the complex world of financial planning.” Austin, Cyrus’s son, has been working in the summer through college and is on track to join Cyrus full time in the spring of 2026. Cyrus’ motto is to “Make Every Day Count”. Cyrus enjoys being an active member of church but when he does have some free time you may find him on the golf course at BrackettsCrossing “enjoying the whole course”. Cyrus' golf motto is: “Golf is God’s way to keep us humble.”
