Time really does fly when you’re doing what you love.
After nearly 22 years in the accounting world, I still wake up every day eager to help clients turn their goals—personal or professional—into reality. My career has taken me on quite a journey: from a boutique public accounting firm with fewer than 30 employees, to a national firm with more than 700, and even to serving as CFO for a multi-location corporation with 1,000+ employees and multiple revenue centers. Along the way, I’ve gained something priceless—perspective.
When I founded Barranco & Associates in 2018, I brought all those lessons to one mission: make a real, lasting impact on our clients’ financial lives. Whether you’re a start-up or a global enterprise, we understand that every challenge—and every opportunity—is unique. That’s why we go beyond checking boxes or filing tax returns. We partner with you. We educate. We guide. And we build relationships that stand the test of time.
It’s no secret that CPAs can do much more than compliance work, but many people don’t realize that’s where we truly shine. At our firm, you’re never just an account number. You’re heard, understood, and supported. Financial education is my personal passion, and there’s nothing more rewarding than watching our clients succeed. Over time, clients become friends—and friends know they can call for advice, guidance, or just to share good news.
At Barranco & Associates, we love meeting new people, hearing their stories, and helping them shape the next chapter—whether that means buying a business, planning for retirement, or celebrating personal milestones.
Raised in Montgomery, Johnny graduated from Auburn University in 2001. He followed in his father’s footsteps and became a CPA.
When not in the office, you’ll find Johnny with my wife, Ginger, and six kids: Kate (18), Ally (17), Wesley (15), Sam (12), Jack (6), and Patrick (4). The kids attend St. Michael’s Catholic High School, Christ the King Catholic School, and Fairhope United Methodist, where they keep Johnny plenty busy with academics, sports, and activities. As a family, they stay active in St. Lawrence Catholic Church and are proud supporters of the local community.
When it’s time to relax, you can find Johnny cheering on Auburn sports—a passion that runs deep after graduating from Auburn University. Whether it’s football in the fall or basketball in March, he's all in.
