Barry Amburn, CPA

Barry is one of the founding partners of Cannon Wealth Management and has been working as a CPA for almost five decades, with two of those decades spent as a financial advisor. He attended Western Carolina University, graduating in 1976 and immediately pursuing and receiving his CPA license.

In 2000, Barry helped to build our firm and has remained here ever since. When the firm began to struggle after losing its only full-time financial advisor, Barry was faced with the choice of whether to move forward or step away from Cannon Wealth Management. After reading Failing Forward by John Maxwell, he decided to find a way to get our firm back on its feet—and that’s exactly what happened.

Barry believes he has a near-sacred duty to provide the best possible support and service to those clients who trust him with their financial futures, and is committed to developing a strong relationship with every client. He brings exceptional knowledge, experience, and objectivity to every consultation, and leverages those skills to help our clients achieve their goals.

Barry lives in King, North Carolina, with his wife of over 50 years, Juno. He loves the small-town feel, which reminds him of growing up in rural North Carolina as a boy. Barry and Juno have one son and two grandchildren—and a grand-dog who loves him more than anyone else. While he enjoys reading and fishing, Barry says that the hobby he loves most is, to this day, the work he does for his clients.
