What We Stand For
At Resilient Wealth Management, we aspire to redefine financial partnership by fostering an environment where inclusivity, clarity, and dedication promote collaborative growth and financial success.
Our Story
I'm Brandon Dixon-James, the proud owner and Certified Financial Planner at Resilient Wealth Management. As a devoted family man, my journey into financial planning is deeply personal and firmly rooted in my family values. My wife, Nicole James, and our two children are not just my world but also integral to the spirit of our business.
Eleven years ago, I stepped away from the corporate world to pursue a dream fraught with uncertainty but rich with potential. Those early days were challenging; the financial strains and personal trials tested my resolve and the strength of my family. However, those struggles laid the foundation for what Resilient Wealth Management has become today—a testimony to the power of resilience.
Through years of highs and lows, our mission has crystallized into helping others navigate their financial journeys with confidence and clarity. At Resilient Wealth Management, we understand life's complexities because we've lived them. This understanding drives our commitment to providing you with personalized, transparent financial guidance.
We are family and legacy oriented.

AdvisorHub Top 100 Advisor to Watch: Solo Practice
On June 20, AdvisorHub magazine, a quarterly news journal for financial advisors, released its third annual 1,000 Advisors to Watch ranking, highlighting advisors who have grown through uncertain markets. The ranking represented a wide range of advisors and firms with more than 339 firms participating nationally. Participation in the ranking was open to all firms and advisors. Nominees were required to have a minimum of seven years' experience, $150m minimum AUM, and a clean regulatory record. Using data on assets, households, and production, advisors were scored on three categories: scale, growth, and professionalism. This is the traditional metric used in most rankings. It's essentially the size of the business and its profitability. We also considered staffing, clientele, and several other factors. This in aggregate provides a snapshot of the size and sophistication of a practice.Growth. This includes the year-over-year change in assets, households and production. We try to bias for organic growth over mergers and acquisitions, and we factor in market conditions. We want practices that are growing aggressively regardless of their size. Professionalism. This includes the lead advisor's regulatory record, community involvement, and the overall team makeup. We think it's important for the future of the industry that advisors perform their duties ethically, are a positive force within their firms, and communities, and have open hiring practices. This methodology levels the playing field for advisors. While large and sophisticated practices are at a natural advantage, they also need healthy growth to maintain that advantage.The list is broken into several sub lists: RIAs (fee-only), Over $1b, Under $1b, Next Gen, Women, Solo, and Fast-Growing. These subcategories compensate for the wide range of business models in the industry.
Participation in this ranking is free and open to all firms and advisors who meet the minimum requirements. AdvisorHub receives no compensation from the participating advisors.
