Jim Teegarden is the Founder and CEO of Impact Wealth, where he serves as a strategic advisor and investment partner to entrepreneurs, business owners, and affluent families seeking to build, manage, and transfer wealth intentionally across generations.

With nearly three decades of experience, Jim combines institutional-style investment management with advanced planning strategies to help clients make smarter decisions about significant capital. Under Jim’s leadership, Impact Wealth manages substantial client assets using a disciplined, institutional approach to portfolio construction, capital allocation, and risk management — integrating both traditional market strategies and alternative investments when appropriate to pursue durable long-term outcomes.

While many advisors focus primarily on financial planning concepts, Jim’s philosophy centers on the active management of capital within a comprehensive framework that includes tax efficiency, estate architecture, and strategic risk management. His clients value a process that goes beyond theoretical planning — aligning investments, structures, and decisions into a cohesive long-term strategy designed to maximize impact while minimizing unnecessary taxation.

An entrepreneur himself, Jim understands firsthand the complexity of building and stewarding wealth. He began his career with Cigna Financial Advisors before co-founding Spectrum Financial Network in 1997, launching Teegarden Financial Corporation in 2004, and founding Impact Wealth in 2019 to deliver a more integrated and forward-thinking wealth management experience for high-net-worth families.

Jim earned his Bachelor of Science in Industrial Technology and Distribution from Purdue University and served four years in the U.S. Army Reserve and National Guard.

Outside of work, Jim enjoys golf, exercise and strength training, snowboarding, and hunting. He and his wife Heidi are the proud parents of four children. He is actively involved in his church and charitable initiatives.
