Overview

The Scott S. James Company is a small, client-focused wealth advisory practice that emphasizes equity exposure and personalized financial planning. The firm operates as both a broker-dealer/registered representative and an investment adviser, providing portfolio management and financial planning primarily to individuals and families. Its stated fee mix combines a percentage-of-AUM approach with hourly charges, which signals a dual emphasis on ongoing portfolio oversight and project-based planning work. Investment allocation leans toward publicly traded equities as the primary building block, with active discretionary management across most client relationships. The adviser does not identify as an ESG investor, and it remains a single-state adviser under its SEC registration. Given the blend of broker-dealer activity and advisory services, the firm appears set up to deliver both transactional brokerage and fee-based, discretionary portfolio solutions to wealthy households.
