Tim Philpot, MBA, CPA, PFS

Financial Advisor

 

Tim's career began as a CPA with Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co.  After public accounting, Tim had a career in health care which lasted 25 years.  The last 18 years of his health care career were spent as President/CEO of a hospital and major health care system.  In 1996 Tim left health care to provide insurance plans and financial solutions for business owners.  This business is now expanded and combined into our current financial advisory firm. 

 

Tim's years of accounting, health care and insurance experience uniquely provide Tim with comprehensive insight into the financial and health care needs of retirees.  Tim is also certified by the American Institute of CPAs as a Personal Financial Specialist.

Business owners face unique situations with respect to their accumulation and management of their base of wealth.  Most often, the owner's business will constitute the greatest portion of their base of wealth and therefore if the business becomes more profitable automatically the owner's base of wealth is improved.  Tim applies his extensive knowledge of employee benefit programs to help his business clients with cost effective strategies in the area of their employee benefit programs with the result that the owner's net worth is positively impacted.
