Built on more than a century of trusted relationships, the firm’s new identity reflects its expanded expertise and integrated approach. The transition also brings May Barnhard Investments under the Councilor name as Councilor Wealth.

CBM is now Councilor

June 19, 2026

Since 1921, clients have turned to Councilor, Buchanan & Mitchell for more than technical answers. Businesses, organizations, and individuals have come to us for perspective, context, and steady guidance during decisions that carry real weight.

That role continues to define how we serve clients today. What has changed are the needs of our clients, the increasing complexity of the decisions they face, and the broader role we play in helping them succeed.

Over more than a century, our firm has continued to evolve alongside the clients and communities we serve. While our services, expertise, and reach have expanded significantly over time, our commitment to trusted relationships and sound advice remained constant.   

This evolution brings us full circle to the name our firm was founded on more than 100 years ago while better reflecting who we are today. It represents the integrated approach our clients already experience, bringing together the expertise needed to help them navigate both compliance requirements and important financial decisions.

Alongside our new name, we are introducing a new website. Visit us at Councilor.com to learn more. 

The transition also brings our wealth management practice more fully under Councilor. May Barnhard Investments will now operate as Councilor Wealth, creating a more unified identity across the firm while continuing to provide the same trusted wealth management and financial planning services.

Whether you are a longtime client, prospective client, referral partner, or community partner, we welcome the opportunity to connect.

We are grateful for the trust our clients, colleagues, and communities have placed in us over the years. While our name is changing, the values, relationships, and commitment that have defined our firm for more than a century remain the same. We look forward to building on that legacy and serving future generations of clients and communities.
