Jim Bukowsky, MBA, BSBA, CRPC.

 I am motivated by giving each client a more personal experience when it comes to managing an individual’s financial wellbeing. That is why I choose to be an independent Financial Advisor.

 The "one size fits all" approach to money management is antiquated. I work closely with every client to enhance their individual investment experience.

 Everyone is unique and everyone's situation is just as unique. As an independent Financial Advisor, I have the freedom to research what may be the most appropriate for your unique situation. There is no larger corporation telling me what I must do for a client they have never met. I do what is in the best interest of you, my client.

 Jim Bukowsky is the President and Investment Advisor of Smart Money Innovations and Southern Missouri Investments in St. Charles and Mountain Grove, Missouri which he founded in 2008.
