MEET THE TEAM

David Talley is the founder and CEO of Talley Financial.

He is responsible for the strategic direction of the firm as well as the responsibility of leading a group of his own individual clients toward a better financial future.

David began his career with one of the largest financial services companies in the country which gained him time and exposure to the corporate view of financial advice and many different types of advisors – both good and bad.
