Jim obtained his Series 7 brokerage license in 1983, and has since continued to guide clients to their Financial goals. Focusing on maximizing retirement income within the risk tolerance of each client requires a clear understanding of income options, portfolio construction, and carefully monitoring of fees and expenses. The attention to detail is the difference between having “a guy” and knowing your finances are secure.
Jim joined Commonwealth Financial Group, LLC. In 2017 for the total independence from brokerage firms/banks requirements to focus on their goals, as well as my clients. This allowed him to focus on why he first found Finance appealing ..…”To work directly with clients to help them generate a better return, reduce taxes on their investments, and ensure known risks are manage or minimized where possible”. Additionally, Jim holds the Series 63 & 65 licenses, his NYS Insurance license and has both an Accounting and Business degrees. These, and extensive professional contacts, enable him to quickly find the best answers to each client’s unique situations.
Jim and his wife Lin make their home in Victor, NY where they enjoy time with friends, boating, golfing, and a wide variety of outdoor activities, usually accompanied by their son, Tyler.

Financial Resources focuses on providing retirement and investment plans for members of educational communities and not-for-profit organizations through an innovative approach, which includes using cost-efficient products, and independent partnerships and alliances within the retirement plan marketplace.
A leading advocate for providing investors with complete transparency and no conflicts of interest. As an Independent Advisor, we do not use proprietary products or services.
Tim is among the first independent advisors to introduce Fiduciary Standards of Care to Non-ERISA 403b / 457 participants. That means I work only in the best interests of our clients.
We support significantly reducing advisory fees, eliminating commissions for 403b/457 plan participants, and a potential flat-fee service model. In addition, we have supported providing the benefits of low-cost mutual funds versus variable annuities in 403b/457 plans for 25 years.

Instead, we work with clients to develop a unique plan for their future, all the while taking into account different tolerances for risk and money needs at different life stages. We make a point of prioritizing our clients’ goals through candid conversations, and written recommendations and plans.
To use a baseball analogy, we encourage a focus on the fundamentals. Try to progress from base to base with the goal of scoring, which, in this case, is achieving the long-term goal.
