In life and in business, everyone has a true north. A passion, a driving force. It makes us who we are. But day-to-day responsibilities, especially finances, can cause people to lose sight of their goals. We opened our doors nearly 60 years ago to help handle our customers’ financial needs and ensure they focus on what matters most to them.

Since then, we’ve remained privately owned and have maintained an eye for opportunity. We make decisions quickly but take the time to truly understand our customers. With our insight, they’re able to better stay on course—their course—and, always, Stay True.
