Our Team
A Team Built on Relationships
Ascend Financial Partners was founded on a simple idea: people deserve better than one-size-fits-all financial advice.
Tony and Jim built this firm to create the kind of experience they would want for their own families—one where conversations are honest, guidance is personalized, and relationships come first.
Today, that same philosophy drives our entire team.
From your first conversation to every step along the way, you’ll work with professionals who take the time to understand your life, your goals, and what truly matters to you. We’re proud to serve clients throughout Northeast Ohio, Akron and Summit Count, building relationships that last for years—not just transactions.
