Our Services

Meet Huntly, The Hunt Country Hound
Our dog mascot Huntly is an animal renowned for his loyalty and devotion. Always there, always committed, he’s a companion and a timeless symbol of play and leisure…always reminding you of the importance of enjoying life.
Likewise, Hunt Country Wealth Management is an energetic partner always striving to inspire people to “live free” and enjoy the independence a well-planned retirement can bring. We want our partnership to bring confidence and stability to your life so you can dedicate time each day to the activities and people that bring you fulfillment.
Huntly affectionately received his name as a tribute to the region of Virginia’s Hunt Country where we were founded. It was here within the rolling hills, horse farms, and picturesque villages that the core of our brand identity was founded.
We believe retirement should free you. It all starts with a plan.
