W. Edward Newton Jr., CPA, CFP®
Managing Director
Ed is originally from Huntington, West Virginia. He earned his degree in accounting from Virginia Tech and a Master’s degree from Liberty University. Upon graduation, he joined Arthur Andersen & Co. in their tax department. He began his CPA firm in 1977.
As both a CPA (NC License #23103; VA License #4627) and Certified Financial Planner (Certificate #97181), Ed is positioned to help clients seek a worry-free retirement.

“The analytical and problem-solving abilities involved in being a pilot and an investment advisor are very similar,” says Ed. “Both require the need to minimize emotions from the decision making process.”
