Tim Wagner

Partner, Estate Planning and Insurance Solutions

Tim Wagner is a Chartered Financial Consultant and a former financial advisor with 30 years of experience. He serves as an advanced planning consultant collaborating with Financial Advisors for their high net worth clients to determine when and to what degree, estate and business planning strategies enhance, protect, and preserve income and wealth. Since unanticipated and underestimated risk factors will impact well-intended financial plans, Tim’s experience with life circumstances provide the ideal companion perspective for an advisor’s plan to succeed for their valued clientele. • Being able to customize potential solutions to cater to a client’s particular unique set of circumstances is critical to its implementation and maintenance over time. • Since advisors also vary in personality, market preference and available resources, it is important to adapt to the advisor’s practice to ultimately enhance the client experience. • True objective advice must be product and service agnostic to accurately provide the appropriate planning recommendations for addressing each client’s intended outcome. • Through years of experience, the soft information on the client’s personal side must play an essential role in the timely and efficient development, implementation

Previous Experience

He has since spent sixteen years as an estate and insurance planner – initially recruited for eight years by Wells Fargo Advisors LLC as their Estate Planning Consultant and now with an additional eight years to date, in a broader role with various successful financial advisors from major institutional advisory firms. Tim has shared and channeled his planning skills through nationally approved brokerage general agencies and currently continues his practice with the full range of product and service resources provided through BKA Financial. Tim prides himself on being a loyal resource for financial advisory teams as together they determine the range of options for ultimately reaching client’s goals. He is acutely aware that as life circumstances change, the plan must adapt to the trajectory of a client’s plan. Further, Tim’s continued involvement at the client’s advisory table is the single best compliment.
