ARCHER INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT - Key Persons


Cait Howerton

Job Titles:
  • Associate Planner
I believe there is more than one path to a strong financial future. My family didn't have much when I was young. But I was taught to invest in two things--the market and my education. I am now a fiercely strategic, empathetic, and creative financial planner. My mission in this industry is to help kind and underrepresented people build wealth. I will meet where you are in your financial journey, encourage you to dream bigger, and celebrate all your wins along the way. I love to work with outside-of-the-box households (LGBTQ+, intentionally single, divorced, widowed, blended families, and more) and I have deep expertise in student loans, family planning, and values-aligned goal setting.
