Team

Since the birth of James Financial Partners over 23 years ago, many families and businesses have placed their financial needs in the hands of Tyler and his fellow associates. Our firm is dedicated to helping our clients build wealth and protect their hard-earned assets. We are completely independent so our loyalty belongs exclusively to our clients—not to a parent company.

Our independence enables us to partner with a number of industry-leading professionals to create customized client portfolios. Our recommendations are always tailored to suit our clients’ unique needs.
