Ronald James Financial in Sarasota, FL is owned and operated by Ron Hodgkinson. Originally from New England, Ron is happily married to his wife of 46 years, Kathie. They have two lovely daughters, five grandchildren, and four grandcats. Ron has lived in southwest Florida for the last 27 years and continues to love the sunshine and warm weather of the Sarasota area. As a financial professional, Ron sees the lifelong impact of retirement planning, or lack of planning, every day. He has served the needs of his clients for 27 years and feels blessed to have helped so many people plan for the days that they choose not to work any longer. Ron has chosen to specialize in working with retirees and pre-retirees because of their unique planning needs. Ron loves helping his friends and neighbors grow their assets while protecting and preserving that which they have worked so hard to accumulate over their working years. Ron has undergone extensive training that has taught him how to objectively evaluate everything form retirement plans, social security, and Medicare planning to investments and tax planning. He also provides the additional value that comes with being a professional tax preparer. It is Ron's commitment to excellence and his unique low-risk, low-volatility approach that has earned Ronald James Financial the distinction of being named a "5 Star Wealth Manager" for the last five years.
