Joe Walsh Jr. founded Walsh & Associates in 1986 for people seeking financial guidance without product or sales influence. Originally one advisor and his assistant serving the DeKalb, Illinois area, Walsh & Associates has grown to a staff of 13 with a second location in Sarasota, Florida, and clients around the country. Joe has been joined by his sons Joe III, Michael and Tom, who share his value of client-first financial planning.
