William B. Guffy

Founder & President

William founded ARC Business Advisors with a simple belief: accounting should be clear, practical, and genuinely helpful. He enjoys helping individuals and business owners understand their finances so they can make confident decisions and focus on what matters most.

Before starting ARC, William built experience in public accounting, corporate tax for a Fortune 500 company, and accounting management for a global commercial real estate firm. That diverse background allows him to bring both technical knowledge and real-world business insight to his clients.

A fourth-generation Sheridan native, William earned his Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting from Henderson State University and his Master of Accountancy from Emporia State University.

Today, he works with individuals and businesses across Arkansas, providing accounting, payroll, tax, and advisory services with an emphasis on responsiveness, clear communication, and long-term relationships.
