Barry Amburn brings nearly 50 years of experience as a CPA and over 20 years as a financial advisor to his role at Farther. After serving in the U.S. Navy, he graduated from Western Carolina University in 1977 and earned his CPA license in 1979.
In 2000, Barry co-founded Cannon Wealth Management. When the firm faced early challenges, he drew inspiration from John Maxwell’s book Failing Forward and successfully steered the practice back to a thriving path. Today, Barry brings that same resilient, client-first dedication to Farther.
Barry approaches his role with a near-sacred sense of duty to the families who entrust him with their financial futures. Alongside his colleagues at Farther, he brings exceptional knowledge and objectivity to every consultation, working diligently to support clients in navigating their unique financial goals.
A resident of King, NC, Barry embraces a small-town lifestyle reflecting his rural upbringing. He and his wife of over 50 years, Juno, share a son, two grandchildren, and a beloved grand-dog. Outside the office, he enjoys reading and fishing, though his greatest passion remains his dedicated work for his clients.
