James Jaderborg, CLU®, ChFC®

I became an advisor in 2010 to help professionals and their families find confidence in their finances.

Many of my clients are physicians who have a thousand priorities pulling at their time and their wallet, and above all, they need their finances to be a source of strength and comfort.

I help to quiet the noise, define their core money values, and build strategies toward the life they desire.

Financial planning services

Personalized solutions for investments, insurance, and beyond

Investment services

Retirement planning

Retirement or future lifestyle considerations are a primary concern for most investors. Not only do we help you select a retirement account and contribution strategy during your working years, but we help diversify your accounts to protect and propel those assets through your entire distribution period.

Using advanced financial planning software, we can provide data-driven projections for your assets throughout your lifetime and legacy, including how different estate and charitable decisions affect these projections over time.

College funding options

While college costs continue to rise, many parents and grandparents are looking for ways to support their loved ones in accessing higher education. You can establish investment accounts and strategies that will help you provide for your family when it matters the most.

Tax minimization strategies*

With every strategy we recommend, tax implications are a primary concern. We collaborate with your CPAs, or provide a referral if needed, to ensure no tax efficiencies are left on the table in your plan.

Risk management

Asset protection strategies*

The more wealth you have, the more complex this process can be. Working with a comprehensive financial consultant, you can take a look at your complete financial picture—every income stream, asset, investment account, and insurance policy—to find and fill gaps in your protection.

Occupation-specific disability insurance

No one expects disability to happen to them, but if it does, disability insurance can help prepare you and your family so that finances aren’t an issue.

We work with specialized professionals to find solutions that fit their needs, with cost-effective riders and options for maximum personalization.

Life insurance strategies

You can provide long-lasting security and wealth opportunities for your family through life insurance. We help you determine the level and style of coverage you need to fortify your family against the unknowns. Then, as your plan progresses, we will reassess your needs with long-term wealth building as the goal.

Debt management

With financial planning, you can design a strategy for paying off debt and investing effectively to build wealth efficiently over time.

Student loans, personal loans, and credit card debt can all weigh you down financially and emotionally. However, they don’t need to be a reason to postpone investing. Our strategies focus on education and empowerment and won’t force you into a scarcity mindset.

Exit strategy*

As a business owner, your practice is one of your life and financial investments.

Working with North Star’s Business Owner Solutions team, we can help you address financial and tax considerations when developing your exit strategy. Then, we coordinate with your specialists or our trusted referrals to develop buy-sell agreement strategies, business valuations, and succession plans that make your long-term financial health central to planning.

Our planning process

Financial guidance and assurance through all life brings
organizing financial documents

 

Step 1: Organize

Before recommending any solutions, we take time to get to know you and your family and what financial security looks like for you.

If you’re not sure what your life and financial goals are yet, we will help you determine your core values, illuminating how your finances can support what’s most important to you.

We will also take time to analyze your current financial situation—your income, debt, employer’s benefits, and more—to align your financial strategy to your current reality to your desired financial future.

Step 2: Prioritize

Once you have solidified your goals, we can help you decide how to tackle each one in a tax-efficient way.

Rather than relying on generic recommendations for when to pay off debt and start investing, we provide personalized solutions and resources for your specific situation and all its nuances. We can also suggest asset protection and wealth accumulation strategies you may have not considered on your own.

Step 3: Optimize

As your career and life develop, your financial strategy should too.

Together, you and our team will determine a check-in schedule that works for you, and he will help refine your investment strategies, insurance policies, and retirement funding to serve your needs better over time.­­­­
