Our Process

We believe family-owned businesses are the backbone of America.

A Family Office Approach

Providing advice and services for families under a comprehensive wealth management plan is often far beyond the capacity of any one professional advisor. It requires a well-coordinated, collaborative effort by a team of professionals from the legal, insurance, investment, estate, business and tax disciplines to provide the scale of planning, advice and resources needed.

At James Harris & Company, we take a similar approach as a family office. Like a family office, beyond basic financial services, our team can provide access to securities-based financing, residential mortgages, home equity financing, credit cards, and business financing through Wells Fargo Advisors or affiliates of Wells Fargo.

We focus on serving family-owned businesses. By helping them grow and prosper for many generations to come, we feel that we’re able to contribute to the greater community where we live and work.

We love working with these businesses because we understand the vital importance of:
  • Family Dynamics: the intersection of money and emotion; helping families navigate tough conversations that money can create.
  • Succession Planning: helping the current CEO of the business transition the power from the first generation to the next while maintaining family harmony; fosters responsible stewardship of wealth across generations.
