Founded in 2004 by William Van Meter, American Retirement Counselors (ARC) was created with one guiding principle Provide our clients with the very best planning services and product solutions available. Our approach is simple Do what is best for our clients, first, last, and always, and offer the same recommendations for our clients, at the same level of commitment, that we would provide for our own families. Most people would prefer to work with a dedicated advisor whom they can trust and rely on. They also want to choose from a portfolio of superior insurance products that suit their distinctive needs. ARC is in a unique position to offer both to our clients. Our advisors offer the very best solutions from the top-rated insurance carriers in the industry.
