Our Legacy
John Graham & Associates (JGA) is a financial planning firm dedicated to helping clients make sound decisions regarding their financial security and future. On May 13, 1996, JGA opened its doors for the first time with just three employees: John Graham, his son, Michael Graham, and one assistant. Their goal was to help more people make wise financial decisions that can have generational effects. Since then, JGA has grown to include multiple financial consultants and supporting staff members, and has helped our clients continue to prosper through countless periods of market upheaval and uncertainty.
In memory of John Graham, founder of John Graham & Associates.
John’s life was marked by integrity, service, and a profound dedication to helping others. His financial services career spanned more than five decades, including roles at Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, Merrill Lynch, and Smith Barney. But the chapter that defined his professional legacy began in 1996, when he founded John Graham & Associates with his son, Mike, and a trusted colleague. John’s legacy lives on in the firm he built, the advisors he mentored, the clients he served, and the family who loved him. We are honored to continue the mission he started and grateful for the foundation he laid for generations to come. One of his favorite reminders—“Set your course by the stars, not by the lights of every passing ship”—captures the steady, values-based vision he encouraged in others.
