Our Alliances

Effective financial planning can sometimes require a team of experts working together to serve your best interests. In such situations, we are the quarterback who makes sure everyone is working together to achieve the best possible results. If you have existing team members you trust, such as your CPA or attorney, we are happy to work with them, and we can also bring in our subject-matter experts as needed. Some of our strategic alliances are detailed below.

PSG Study Group Logo

Jerry has been a member of the prestigious PSG Study Group since its infancy in 1989. Because of 11 highly successful members who provide financial, business, succession, professional, estate and life insurance planning advice, great depth and a deeply enhanced perspective are brought to our planning process. This provides The Timmermann Group with an extra edge in our ability to think outside the box.

A constant resource in almost every facet of life is right at our fingertips and available to us daily. Few others in the financial industry have such luxury at their disposal to bring their clientele. Being a member of The PSG Study Group not only brings me personal enjoyment, but in today’s world of technology, I feel there is always a time I can get a “trusted personalized second opinion” on almost any topic in less than 10 minutes. The PSG Study Group has been my most valued relationship for most of my career.
