The Team

 

Our People - Our Best Asset

Since 1970 when Maxson & Associates began, an emphasis has been placed on having an experienced, qualified staff.

We stress excellence and service in every area of our firm. After all, our clients aren't trusting their financial health and businesses to a corporation; they're trusting them to people.
