Individuals and/or families throughout the United States.

Jim is often asked to play the role of “facilitator” when the “human” issues become complex.  Ultimately, each client engagement needs a quarterback who actively and consistently monitors and reviews the ever-changing circumstances surrounding the lives of high-net worth individuals.Jim cherishes the personal touch involved in maintaining this style of relationship.

Executive Compensation and Fringe Benefit Consulting
