Maximillian Barb, CPA
Supervisor
Bio:
I joined WJC Financial in January of 2020 after completing a Master of Accountancy at the University of Idaho. Prior to starting at WJC, I gained experience through internships at the University of Idaho and DZA Accounting.
At the University I participated in several professional organizations including Beta Alpha Psi Honor Society, Barker Capital Management Group, and Davis Investment Group.
I am blessed to live in the Idaho forests where I built a home with my wife and family. My wife and I are expecting our first child in late August and can’t wait to meet our addition to the family.
I enjoy spending my free time performing honey-do lists and arguing over baby names (just kidding). I love working with my hands and enjoy a variety of hobbies that include carpentry, gardening, and mechanical work.

Bio:
I joined WJC Financial in January of 2020 after earning a Master of Accountancy degree from the University of Idaho. Before working for WJC, I gained experience through professional organizations and an internship for Harris CPAs in Boise, Idaho.
While working as a graduate assistant, I also
worked as a Financial analyst then Portfolio Manager for Barker Capital Management Group, and President of Beta Alpha Psi Honors Society.
Before transitioning to academics, I worked in the core exploration and construction industries. These experiences taught me to truly appreciate the impact small businesses and hard work can have on communities.
I enjoy staying active including participating in sports, camping, hiking, and snowboarding. On most weekends I can be found playing pickup basketball or spending time with friends and family.

Colin Wereley
Senior Accountant & Economic Analyst
Bio
I joined WJC Financial in March 2021. I have been in the financial and accounting industry for six years, working in a variety of roles from large institutions to small businesses.
My background is in Finance, Accounting, and Economics. If it involves dollars and data, I am excited to come up with solutions. I have a passion to provide creative solutions, and I understand that a typical one size fits all approach doesn’t work for our clients.
I am a proud Idahoan from the Coeur d’Alene area, and in my free time I am always found in the outdoors. Whether it is camping, mountain biking, hunting, skiing, or kayaking.
I am blessed to be married to my best friend, and without her support of me personally and professionally; it would not have been possible to accomplish everything I have.
I am passionate about rural communities, and I enjoy developing economic impacts to help communities better understand economic development opportunities.
