About James Tissot

James Tissot is a CFP® (Certified Financial Planner) Practitioner currently practicing in New York City, Westchester County and the Hudson Valley. He provides clients with a personalized, needs-based financial plan that is built around their personal circumstances, goals and dreams. James' primary goal is to understand the specific situation and needs of each client and then create a plan that will help guide clients towards their financial goals. He is the President and founder of Prism Planning, Inc.; a fee-only Registered Investment Advisor.

Mr. Tissot came to a Financial Planning career due in large part to the AIDS crisis. To better assist a friend afflicted with HIV/AIDS, James started attending seminars offered at the Lesbian and Gay Center on financial planning for the disabled and terminally ill, sponsored by Body Positive. Whether through the love of a friend, passion of cause or assimilation of past business exposure, he found he had an acumen for this type of work. He then went back to school to gain the formal education to become a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER (tm).

He is a member of the PridePlanners Association and continues his pro bono work with those with HIV/AIDS. He frequently conducts seminars on non-traditional family planning and was recently retained by the Episcopal Church Pension Groupin that area.

In addition to his practice, he is an editor and instructor for Keir Educational Resources, a publisher of financial education materials. In that position he writes materials for as well as teaches live reviews for the CFP® Certification Examination. He has edited books on financial calculators and writes and edits materials for all FINRA Series exams. These activities keep him current of all regulatory and tax changes.
