James brings over 20 years of experience working directly with business families in developing their business and wealth transition. He shares his knowledge and experience in this area in a co-authored book, “The Transition Experience – What every Canadian family business owner should know beyond succession planning”. Central to his approach is exploring with family and family members, the impact and responsibility that comes with multi-generational wealth, and ultimately developing goals and governance associated with the stewardship of wealth.

James started his career practicing tax, business valuation and corporate insolvency at a national accounting firm. He joined BMO in 2000 to lead and develop a then new initiative, business succession planning.

His experience in business succession planning underpins his wider work with families in developing their wealth legacy.  He meets with multiple generations of each family as part of his work to develop lasting stewardship of wealth.  Educating younger generations on financial fluency is part of his legacy planning work.
Prior to joining BMO, he was a commercial account manager in another Canadian bank, gaining valuable perspective on the use of leverage as part of overall wealth planning.
