More Than Financial Advisors—We're Your Partners in Planning
Starr Financial Services was founded in 1982 by the late William “Bill” Starr and his wife, Sue Starr. From the beginning, the company was built on family values, personal relationships, and a commitment to helping clients make informed financial decisions.
In 2022, Bill and Sue’s granddaughter, Courtney Hanes, became the owner of Starr Financial Services, continuing the family legacy into a new generation.
One year later, Courtney’s brother-in law, John Sporar, CFP®, joined the team to provide clients with comprehensive wealth management services. Since then, Starr Investment Services has been established as a sister company, allowing John to offer investment management and financial planning services while working alongside the Starr Financial Services team.
In 2026, Courtney’s father, Randy Laniewski—the son of Bill and Sue—joined the family business. Randy expanded the firm’s services with a focus on retirement planning, retirement income strategies, and Medicare planning.
Today, three generations of one family have helped build and shape our companies. By combining our individual areas of experience, we can assist clients through many stages of their financial lives while providing the personal attention and trusted relationships that have defined Starr Financial Services since 1982.
