Sean Maher has been providing financial consulting to high-net-worth families since 1996. As a Principal at Valley Forge Financial Group, Inc. and CEO of Valley Forge Family Office, Sean regularly presents to industry groups on complex estate-planning concepts.

Sean has held board positions with multiple charities. He has published articles for Trust & Estates, Journal of Financial Planning, and National Underwriter. Sean created the Valley Forge Practicum—a free summer seminar for high school- and college-age students interested in a career in financial services.

Sean’s wife, Jill, is a licensed psychological counselor and serves clients at the Peacemaker Center, a not-for-profit mental health counseling provider. She has been a spin instructor for 22 years and has been known to “counsel from the saddle.”

Sean and Jill have been married for almost 30 years and have three adult children. They are college sweethearts, having met in cooking class at Cornell’s School of Hotel Administration.

The Maher family lives in Chester County, Pennsylvania. Sean and Jill relax by spending time with their children, friends, and extended family. They enjoy exploring, especially when they can combine their travel with sightseeing by bike. Their happy place is MidCoast Maine’s Damariscotta Lake, where they journey each summer for family vacation.
