James B. Hebets

Jim Hebets is President and Founder of Hebets & Maguire, LLC, and a Registered Representative with NFP Securities, Inc. The National Headquarters for the firm is located in Phoenix, AZ. The firm specializes in the areas of executive compensation and fringe benefit consulting, business succession planning concepts, wealth creation and estate preservation strategies and the facilitation of the purchase of extremely large amounts of life insurance.

Under Jim’s leadership, the firm has established a national prominence and reputation in the following practice areas:

• Estate Planning for the "Exceptionally Wealthy" individuals and/or families throughout the United States. Jim has spent 40 years serving many of our country’s wealthiest families and has developed long-term relationships that have now become multi-generational.
  
  Privacy, confidentiality, trustworthiness, cutting edge creativity and a deep and abiding concern for the personal well-being of each family member defines the essence of Jim’s involvement with his clients. Jim is often asked to play the role of "facilitator" when the "human" issues become complex.
  
  Ultimately, each client engagement needs a quarterback who actively and consistently monitors and reviews the ever-changing circumstances surrounding the lives of high-net worth individuals.
  
  Jim cherishes the personal touch involved in maintaining this style of relationship.
• Executive Compensation and Fringe Benefit Consulting
  Many wealthy families built their net worth in large part by creating and leading some of our countries most famous businesses. Jim is often asked to assist in the creating and execution of the Executive Compensation arrangements that these businesses utilize to attract, reward, motivate and retain the senior leadership team. The firm clients are located throughout the United States and include both mid to large size public and privately owned enterprises.
• Succession Planning
  Many of the firm’s oldest and largest clients came to have Jim assist them in monetizing the wealth they had developed in their business interests. They chose the firm of Hebets & Maguire and Jim individually, because of his extensive background in understanding how to integrate the planning process of monetizing their business interests within the context of their overall estate plan.

Jim has also had an extensive involvement in charitable works in a wide variety of areas. His most passionate involvement is in his role as the Executive Vice President of the National Board of Directors of Childhelp – the nation’s oldest and largest not-for-profit agency serving abused and neglected children. Childhelp founders – Sara O'Meara and Yvonne Fedderson are currently nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Jim is married to his wife Carol. They are blessed to have five children and six grandchildren who are a constant source of joy for them.
