Derek Fisher CFS®, CPA, EA

Founder/ CEO

Derek’s favorite place is in the conference room creating solutions for clients!  His mission is supporting his clients in pursuing their financial goals and dreams…… helping their children attain secondary education, assisting with retirement income streams, and assisting in wealth transfer for generations to come. This is the typical day for Derek, and he loves it!

“I have the world’s best job,” says Derek.  “On a daily basis, I get to watch fantastic clients interact with the best employees in the world!  What could be better than that!?!” His encouragement and positive outlook on life often bless his clients and his fellow employees. Serving with integrity is the tone from the top that Derek often mentions.

When not in the office, Derek will probably be found on a Lake Michigan salmon boat or chasing animals around the mountains of Colorado and Wyoming! Derek enjoys fitness and has run several marathons. He greatly enjoys working on farms, but he is very social as well, as his many friends and church family will attest! Derek married his high school sweetheart, Jennifer, in 1991. They have 3 children, Adeline (husband Perry), Avery (wife Riley), and Anya.
