As an Advisor on the Sadler Georgen Harmon Team, James Chalmers strives to deliver ‘Raving Fan’ service to every individual client. Acting as his clients’ Chief Financial Officer, he works to formulate appropriate financial strategies that are based on clients’ unique needs and goals.
James earned his B.S. in Business Administration with a concentration in Finance from the John Cook School of Business at Saint Louis University. Prior to joining Moneta, he worked as a Business Initiatives Manager at Wells Fargo Advisors.

This is accomplished by examining the client’s current situations, setting financial goals, and measuring progress towards those goals. His favorite part of the job is celebrating with clients as they achieve their long term planning goals.
