Jim loves to help clients build and preserve their wealth. Jim often comments that what he does is not as important as why he does it. Jim’s thirty years of experience have honed his listening skills. "It's truly important to focus on the needs and goals of your clients! Otherwise, it's unsatisfying for me," says Jim. He delivers sound planning to his clients; with an emphasis on corporate and business transactions, FAS 109 and FIN 48, compensation related planning, and estate and trust taxation.
