About Us
Our start
Started in 2012 as a way to help people manage their financial lives, our company has evolved from a personal practice to a full service company; from a broker/dealer practice to a Registered Investment Advisory business; from a one man shop to a community of skilled, deliberate and compassionate financial professionals. The initial company goal was to help people manage their finances. Money defined success and was often the only end goal until big life impacts shifted the benchmark for success from currency to impact.
Company founder James Roberts’ life experiences allowed him to realize that his relationship with money was out of balance.
Our company went outside the box to discover how to truly allow our clients to feel inspired, activated and aligned to their own "financial plan.". We believe this enables us to provide you with a far more sustainable and resilient financial strategy that will make wealth management fun, instead of anxiety-ridden.

James’ Why
Faced with a personal near-death experience, a sibling who battled cancer, and a child born with an extremely rare disease, James realized through these experiences that he had gained the courage to stare down his fear of failure and get out of the mediocre comfort zone he lived in. Philanthropy had been a part of his professional life, but he never embraced the true meaning behind this word prior to these live-changing events. Through his challenges, he discovered the power of giving without the expectation of anything in return. These gained attributes forced him to recognize that making an impact and really choosing his own path was much more satisfying than building wealth “for retirement”. Intentional is the platform James uses to inspire others to continue their life journey with a renewed sense of their why and actively create a path to achieve it. Selfishly, it also keeps this same inspiration close by for James to lean in on.
James began his career in Financial Services in 2007. His first clients were inherited clients during the Great Recession. James learned the consequences of decisions and the importance of a disciplined strategy for investing your money. James has worked in the Bank Channel, Independent Broker-Dealer Channel (IAR), and now the Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) channel. He earned his CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification in 2012. Having advised through the fiancial crisis of 2008-09, the COVID Pandemic of 2020 and everything in between, James has learned from experience what opportunities exists and what risks lie ahead in the various markets we will face moving forward.

We are NOT the firm who tells you play it safe and minimize your needs. We are here to embolden and embrace your sense of identity.
BE AUTHENTIC
Something is most likely bothering you about your wealth. Our bet is that your wealth choices don't match up to your inner core desires. This is a gamechanger when executed properly.
BE PROUD
Don't leave your legacy to chance and what others decide. Own your priorities and desires and be unapologetic in your pursuit of them. Otherwise, what's the wealth for?
