Jody FerrillWe have been with ACT Advisors for over 15 years, and we are delighted with the growth of our portfolio during that time. The ACT team is always available to talk with us whenever we need advice, and their thorough analysis of market conditions is very sound. We would recommend anyone looking for a financial advisor to look into ACT Advisors - they have a proven track record.

Mary VandegriftMy wife and I started using Tim Mowrey for our financial services many years ago before he joined forces with ACT. We were always super pleased with not only the advice and financial guidance, but with the friendship we established. I was cautious when Tim told us that he was merging with ACT but believed it could be a good partnership. My expectations were exceeded! Everyone at ACT has been super professional, very attentive and always go above and beyond. I highly recommend their company
