At Gilliland Investment Management, Inc., we are in the business of making financial dreams come true. We want to help our community with their financial planning and investments. We are vested in our friends and neighbors of the community and maintain close relationships with our clients. I graduated with a finance degree right here in Canyon’s own West Texas A&M University and was eager to start my firm in the same community. Kaye and I are proud to serve such a great community and be a part of its continued growth. It has been very rewarding to help our friends and neighbors. The Canyon community is a great place to live and raise a family. It is our goal to assist those in our community and future residents build a solid foundation for their family now and help them secure finances for their future plans.
