Our Qualifications

Jim and Teresa Yent are the owners of Golden Years Advisors, an independent financial services firm that focuses on retirement planning. When asked why they spent the years required putting this program in place Jim replied:

"The day my parents' financial well-being was put into my hands was the day that I found that I didn't have a clue about what they really needed. I had been a consultant in financial services for years and was considered an experienced and respected professional by my peers. But I was clueless about what retirees really need from an advisor."

In response to their own family's need, Jim and Teresa put together a practical "best practice" planning approach that is extremely clear and understandable. Teresa explained that their "goal was to help our clients build their own personal plan that was so straight-forward that they could explain the overall concept to their children using a single piece of paper." What they created was a process that enables retirees to see a road map and to plot their course for the next few decades of their life. Clients are very pleased and more confident in their planning when they are able to get answers to the issues that concern them the most.

Teresa studied Business Administration at Lubbock Christian College before focusing on raising her two children. She has achieved numerous certifications and industry accolades including a Certified Master Long Term Care Specialist, Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC), and she is an Investment Advisor Representative and a Registered Representative of USA Financial Securities.

Jim graduated from Yale University where he was the captain of the basketball team, a member of Skull and Bones, and a singer in the Yale Whiffenpoofs. He spent over 20 years as a consultant to financial services firms such as Farmers insurance, Credit Suisse First Boston, and Charles Schwab to name a few. He stays abreast of industry changes by attending ongoing educational events. Jim is a Chartered Financial Consultant®(ChFC), and a Chartered Financial Analyst® (CFA), an Investment Advisor Representative, as well as a Registered Representative of USA Financial Securities. 

Their professional practice, Golden Years Advisors LLC, caters exclusively to those aged 55 and above. Jim and Teresa's goal is always to do the right things at the right time for the right reasons for their client's financial affairs.

Jim and Teresa are passionate advocates for retirees. They participate in Alzheimer fundraising, assist retirees in signing up for patient assistance drug programs, train retirees on how to use personal computers, and are active advocates for issues important to retirees and those close to retirement.
