Since joining FSA in 2004, Jim has maintained a client-first philosophy, ensuring that client needs and expectations are met. This is evident in the infrastructure of FSA, namely service teams for every client and their financial review process. This has helped FSA remain responsive to the changing needs of clients.
Jim’s passion to help people grow has reached his team members as well. He led the charge to redesign our firm’s culture to become a “learning organization,” guaranteeing team members receive an opportunity to shine their gifts and grow as people and not just employees.
