James McGrath, CFP, CLU, CPA
Financial Strategies was founded in 1984 on the premise that taxes were an integral part of the Financial Planning and Investment Advisory practice. Realizing that very few Planners were providing integrated Tax services, Jim McGrath started incorporating tax planning and preparation for one fee for all of his Advisory clients.
We currently use the groundbreaking Investment philosophies of Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA) to create the bulk of our client portfolios. DFA funds are only available through a limited, very selective group of Advisors, who have undergone additional, DFA sponsored education.
When Jim joined NAPFA in 2004, he was one of six NAPFA Registered Planners with the credentials of CPA, CFP and CLU.
We currently offer a free, 30 to 45 minute initial meeting for those considering Investment Advisory services. For those who are looking for more immediate answers to their questions, we provide a "Two Hour Tuneup" as a way for a review of your most pressing concerns.
