John Murphy and Michael Banwell advise individuals, families, business owners, and foundations on navigating complex financial decisions with clarity, discipline, and a long-term perspective.

 John has spent decades guiding clients through changing markets, economic cycles, and generational transitions. As a leader at Orrstown Financial Advisors, he has been instrumental in building and developing the Lancaster advisory platform, earning a reputation for steady judgment, consistency, and trusted client relationships. His experience spans portfolio management, retirement planning, and long-term wealth preservation across a wide range of client needs.

 Michael brings a modern, planning-driven approach shaped by his former experience at Bank of America Private Bank in Manhattan. His work focuses on retirement income design, tax-aware investment strategies, and multi-generational wealth planning. In addition to advising clients, Michael is actively involved in real estate development and serves as Vice President of Voyage Mount Joy, a nonprofit focused on community impact. His perspective as both an advisor and operator allow him to deliver advice grounded in real-world execution.

Together, they serve clients throughout Lancaster, Lebanon, and Berks Counties, providing integrated guidance across personal wealth, business planning, and charitable strategies. Their approach is rooted in long-term relationships, disciplined decision-making, and advice tailored to the full complexity of each client’s financial life.
