James Fetters

James Fetters is the Managing Partner, Senior Wealth Advisor of Blueprint Wealth Management, an independent advisory firm based in Los Angeles, California. A CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER professional with over 19 years of experience, James has built his career on trust, long-term relationships, and a deep commitment to helping clients achieve their financial goals.

James believes financial planning should be personal—not transactional. He brings warmth, clarity, and a thoughtful approach to every conversation, helping individuals, families, and business owners navigate complex decisions with confidence and respect. Whether it’s business planning, retirement planning, tax and risk management, or legacy design, James meets each client where they are and walks beside them toward the future they envision.

Before founding Blueprint, James honed his skills at JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, and Northwestern Mutual. His early work with investment banks established a disciplined, high-level approach to wealth management. At Northwestern Mutual he developed a deep appreciation and conviction for holistic planning- the foundation, or “blueprint” for financial success. Today, he focuses on building tax-efficient planning and strategies for business owners, executives, and families.

James brings institutional-level insight together with a deeply personal planning process. His mission at Blueprint is to serve as a trusted financial architect—listening carefully, crafting customized plans, and guiding clients through every phase of life with clarity, strategy, and care.

Outside the office, you’ll find James scaling granite walls in Yosemite, catching early-morning waves or throwing a frisbee on the beach with his German Shepherd, Logan. A passionate rock climber and outdoorsman, he brings the same focus, calm, and joy to his personal pursuits as he does to serving clients.

James is also an advocate for financial education. He regularly hosts community events and seminars to empower others with financial knowledge and planning tools. Known for his collaborative approach and steady demeanor, James is deeply committed to helping clients build the financial future they envision.

Through Blueprint’s partnership with Carson Wealth, James and his team bring together robust institutional resources—including investment research, estate and tax experience, and a deep bench of portfolio management and concierge planning specialists —while maintaining a boutique, high-touch client experience.
