Keren James

"I strive to be not only a trusted steward of wealth for our clients but also a steward of relationships. I partner with clients first to understand their goals, then translate them into an actionable investment plan, and implement and modify that plan through various life stages and market cycles. A fulfilling client relationship evolves from an open environment and ongoing dialogue. I am invested in earning the trust and confidence of our clients and empowering them on their journey to financial security."
