About James Akers
James Akers is the founder and CEO of Akers Enterprises, an Independent Marketing Organization (IMO) built by an advisor, for advisors.
With 3 decades in the financial services industry, James has owned and operated a Medicare insurance agency serving over 1,000 clients and a successful Registered Investment Advisory firm as well as writing $39 million in annuities before launching the IMO Akers Enterprises.
His hands-on experience in both retirement planning and advisor marketing gives him a unique understanding of what producers truly need to succeed.
Recognizing that most IMOs offer limited marketing support, James created a model that blends full-street contracts with done-for-you marketing systems — without the inflated fees charged by traditional agencies.
Through Akers Enterprises, advisors gain access to turnkey marketing systems, automated webinar funnels, and weekly mentorship, all designed to help them scale efficiently and compliantly.
James’s philosophy is simple:
when advisors succeed, everyone wins.
