Ben Murphy, CPA, PFS™, CPFA®

Wealth Manager - Midland Office

“Through years of public practice as a CPA, I learned the importance of proper financial planning in not only income tax planning, but also retirement planning, insurance, asset management and estate planning as well. I enjoy applying these planning skills to help you stay on track and meet your financial goals. ”

Previously operating his own public accounting firm from 1989 to 2011 in Snyder, Texas, he transitioned his accounting practice to the firm of Hoyle Partain and Company, LLC in 2011 so he could devote his time to addressing the financial planning needs of his clients.
