As mentioned in Ron Bare’s biography page, Bare Financial Services, Inc. was founded in 2001 after Ron left a large financial company in pursuit of independence, realizing he was not able to consistently put the clients’ needs ahead of his employer’s needs. Without knowing exactly what the coming years would look like, Ron struck out on his own and created his own financial services company based in his home office, located on the family farm he purchased, making him the 5th generation family owner.
With humble beginnings that began with Ron and a secretary sharing writing areas, Bare Financial eventually moved from the home office into a converted office that was the former milking house on the family farm. Soon after adding the position of an office manager in 2005, the company again outgrew it’s office space when the first additional financial planner was invited to the team in 2007. The current main office is still located on the farm, but inside the rancher house that Ron’s grandparents had originally built when they sold the farm to Ron’s parents. The company also shares an office with Hostetter & Hostetter CPAs in Quarryville, PA, which allows them to better serve the clients in the southern part of Lancaster county.
The original reason for the company’s birth remains a critical core value: putting the interest of the client first. The ability to do this, and do it consistently, is what has led Bare Financial to continue growing and creating plans for continued growth for the years to come.
