Financial Planning and Investing

These webinars go deep into financial planning and investing topics with recognized experts in the field–everything from how to allocate your precious investment funds to how to minimize taxes on returns.

Many of these webinars & blogs feature Ascent Wealth Management. Jim Cunningham and John Lindsey co-founded Ascent Wealth Management (AWM) to better serve the clients of CunninghamLegal. They have known each other as friends and trusted referral partners since 1999. In most Attorney and Advisor relationships the care of their clients ends at the point of the referral, leaving gaps in the execution of the financial and estate plan. Jim Cunningham not only co-founded AWM, he is also serving as General Counsel—and by having a vested interest in the success of AWM, there is a high level of coordination, communication, and service to our mutual clients.
