About Archford®
Archford® was built around the mission of “Taking Care of Families”. CEO and Founder Jim Maher grew up in a family business, which inspired him to seek a diverse professional background with secured licenses in law (JD), accounting (CPA), insurance, financial planning, exit planning and retirement planning. While acquiring these designations and degrees, he realized how important it was for all of these areas of a person’s life to be interconnected for financial success. Archford® provides wealth management, retirement planning, business consulting, accounting, data management and philanthropic services all under one roof. This unique service model enables the team to collaborate daily to help clients save time, save money and make money.
