Managing Partner

In my role as a Managing Partner and Financial Advisor with Platinum Peak Advisors, I work directly with clients and their advisors in the sophisticated use of life insurance in trust and estate planning, retirement planning, and business succession planning. I have been advising clients in legal and financial services matters for 33 years, during which time I have worked extensively with lawyers and CPAs and their high net worth clients.

I began my legal career as a Court Attorney in the New York State Supreme Court, Ninth Judicial District. I later became a partner and trial lawyer in the New York law firm of Satz Kirshon and Rosa, PC, and served as an Arbitrator for the American Arbitration Association.

After relocating to Florida in 1994 and earning an advanced law degree (LL.M.) in Trusts and Estate Planning, I became an estate planning attorney with the Miami/Boca Raton boutique tax and estate planning law firm of Tescher, Chaves and Muller. In 1999, I served as General Counsel for TEAAM, Inc., a sports agency representing National Football League players, where I addressed NFL compliance regulations and agent conduct, and advised NFL players on their financial planning needs. In 2001, I formed The Palm Group, LLC, a company devoted to serving NFL players and other high net worth clients in accumulating, preserving and transferring wealth. The Palm Group was later merged with Platinum Peak Advisors, LLC.

Financial Advisor

In my role as a Financial Advisor with Platinum Peak Advisors, I work directly with clients and their bankers, tax and legal advisors across Florida and nationally to assist with their financial and business planning needs.  An important part of my job is to bring clarity to clients and their advisors on various subjects, processes and solutions so they can make informed decisions about their financial future. This creates the most rewarding aspect of my job, which is developing relationships with our clients and helping them achieve their financial goals.

I started my career as Chartered Accountant in Toronto, Canada.  I then moved to the business side, and became the Chief Financial Officer of a pension fund real estate investment firm.  After relocating to South Florida in 1993, I founded a business and financial consulting firm that assisted numerous professionals, businesses and non-profits to analyze their strategic operations and improve profitability.   In 1997, I co-founded a real estate investment and development firm that managed and invested in properties throughout Canada and the United States, including developing several residential condominium projects. In the process, I was honored in South Florida’s FastTrack magazine’s 2002 “20 on the Fast Track”.

Since 2008, I have been advising business owners and professionals of all types to create innovative and powerful financial, investment, retirement, business continuation and philanthropic strategies.  One area of particular expertise is assisting bank borrowers with SBA collateral requirements with their insurance needs, and the subsequent planning for the growth of their enterprises. With extensive personal experience in entrepreneurial and family business, professional services, and the corporate and professional worlds, I am able to bring insight and empathy to all my clients.

Jason Coopersmith

Financial Advisor
jcoopersmith@platinumpeak.com

As a financial professional with Platinum Peak Advisors, I work with individuals and small businesses to create customized financial plans and implementation of these plans. There is nothing that we hold more dear to our hearts than our families and closest friends.  I am dedicated to working with you to build a sound financial strategy, so that you can spend more of your time with those you care about most.

My career started in mortgage and real estate, where I quickly advanced to owning my own company. I helped clients by understanding their needs and wants then executing for them on both the search for right property and the financing. After nine years operating my own company, I was offered an opportunity at Bank of America to manage their default loan portfolio and closed my real estate and mortgage company. After managing fifteen employees and achieving top honors, I had a career decision to make, and concluded that I wanted to do more for people, and decided to become a financial advisor to do just that.  After gaining experience with insurance and investment products, an opportunity arose with Platinum Peak Advisors to join their growing team.  As a firm, we have the independence and resources to provide excellent financial advice and service to our clients.
