November 5, 2018, Scottsdale, AZ—My Financial Coach (MFC) announces today the appointment of its first financial coach, James Hargrave, CFP® professional, to help employees coordinate and leverage their personal assets with their employer-provided benefits, a strategy which holds the potential for individual workplace wealth.

At Learnvest, Hargrave built an employer portfolio from zero to 286 clients in less than two years. At Vanguard, he built relationships with a $1.3 billion book of business, 630 client-family groups, and 2,200 individuals.

Committed to financial literacy and lifelong learning, Hargrave holds many key credentials including CFP® from the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc.; Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU®) from the American College of Financial Services; his Series 7 & 63 Licensure from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA); and his Life, Health, and Sickness Insurance License in the State of Arizona.
