Ours is a family business, formed in 2013 by James L Butler with his sons James and Neil. The three of us enjoyed lengthy tenures at a major, well-regarded financial institution but longed for the ability to create more personal, long-term relationships with clients. We decided to open our own practice, working with Wells Fargo Advisors Financial Network, one of our nation’s most reputable financial institutions, to hold and service client assets. Our venture has been a tremendous success and we can genuinely say that we look forward to going to work every day.
