Our History

Our History

Larry Barber founded Barber Financial with his accounting and tax practice on April 8, 1981. Larry has served many businesses and individuals over the years with all of their accounting and payroll needs. After working with a CFP for many years and seeing the importance of financial advising, Larry got his securities licenses in 1986 and expanded his services to incorporate investment and tax advice. Barber Financial moved to the current office location in January of 1993. In 2000, Larry sold the payroll business to Advanced Business Computing Service, who Barber Financial still works closely with. Shortly after in 2001, Barber Financial affiliated with Tuning Accounting Services who took over the accounting side of the practice. We still work closely with Tuning Accounting today.

Scott Barber followed in his father’s footsteps and has been a part of the family business since 1996. Scott obtained his Certified Financial Planner Designation in 2011. Since then, Barber Financial has grown into a full-service financial services company where we assist our clients with Tax, Insurance, Investment, Retirement, and Estate Planning needs.
