Claudia joined Carol in the spring of 2005 as her Administrative Assistant. Having worked in the luxury automotive market as Finance Manager and in a Long Term Care Facility as HR Director she brings with her a unique mix of attention to detail, but also a strong sense of a more personal client-firm relationship style which is sometimes pushed aside in today’s technology driven business environment.
Away from the office Claudia, along side her husband Chris, enjoys working and training dogs. Together they have titled several different breeds with AKC, UKC, ASCA and AHBA in Obedience, Rally and Herding.
Claudia also opens her barn for an occasional foster from the Feral Cat Project for post spay/neuter recovery.
Raymond James is one of the largest independent financial services firms in the United States. Since its beginning in 1962, it has always been a different kind of company – embracing long-term planning and methodical decision-making while staying uncompromisingly client focused. When other firms were simply buying and selling stocks or mutual funds, Raymond James focused on financial planning to help individuals reach their goals. It was the first firm to pioneer that concept – and today it supports its advisors with access to a full range of comprehensive resources, helping them to do the same.
- More than 6,500 financial advisors
- 2.4 million client accounts
- 2,600 locations (United States, Canada and abroad)
- $372 billion in client assets
- $38 billion managed by its subsidiary asset managers
Raymond James Financial was named the best full-service broker in the 2011 SmartMoney annual broker survey for the third time in four years – ranking above Edward Jones, Wells Fargo, UBS, Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney.
