CPA, CFP®, and founder of Vaughan Family Financial. I believe wealth isn't inherently good or evil—it's how we manage it that matters.
Too many business owners face regret from mismanaged finances, disconnected advice, and conflicting interests. I founded VFF to change that.
I founded Vaughan Family Financial on a fundamental belief: wealth isn't inherently good or evil—it's how we manage it that matters. Too many people face regret from mismanaged finances, disconnected advice, and conflicting interests.
By combining CPA expertise with CFP credentials and operating as a fee-only fiduciary, I eliminate the conflicts and communication gaps that plague traditional advisory relationships. VFF exists to provide unbiased, integrated financial guidance—helping clients navigate their two biggest lifetime expenses: taxes and retirement.
"Vaughan Family Financial was created to represent a firm that is a fiduciary to the highest degree, committing
to unbiased advice. Ultimately, I just love working with good people and being the difference maker that my
industry and community need."
— Joe Vaughan, Founder
I'm legally obligated to act in your best interest—always. No conflicts, no hidden fees, no product pushing.
Your CPA and financial advisor should be the same person. Integrated advice means no gaps, no miscommunication, and better outcomes.
Financial planning shouldn't be complicated. I simplify complex topics and explain things in plain English, so you always understand your options.
Spending time with family and friends is what matters most. North Alabama is home to me—always will be—and I'm raising my family here.
My wife and I attend Most Merciful Jesus Catholic Church in North Alabama. I also serve on local boards when asked and do pro bono work. Reach out if there is a need.
I love fishing and firing up the pellet smoker. There's something about low-and-slow cooking and not catching fish that teaches patience.
As a Huntsville native and UA grad, I love my Crimson Tide. I was born into fandom rooting for the Detroit Lions—a testament to my loyalty.
