James Roberts, CFP®, CExP™, is the founder of Intentional, LLC, an SEC registered investment advisory firm based in Fort Mill, SC. He has been in the investment services industry since 2007 and works with business owners, executives, and families in Charlotte, Charleston, and nationally. James works with clients who have built significant wealth and are facing decisions where the stakes are high: selling a business, managing a liquidity event, planning an ESOP, or deciding what to pass on and how. His exit planning work follows Business Enterprise Institute standards, and his portfolio approach is tax aware by design, combining a core of low cost ETFs with individual equities, individual bonds, and alternatives for eligible investors. Every relationship begins with Wealth Identity, Intentional, LLC's proprietary assessment of how clients think, feel, and act around money. A series of personal experiences led James to a question most financial plans skip: what is the wealth actually for? That question shapes every plan he builds. Intentional, LLC generally serves individuals and families with $1 million or more in investable assets. Client assets are held at Raymond James.
