 My name is Tim Mason. Welcome to my website. 

As an AXA Advisors Financial Consultant and active member of the Colorado Springs community, I am dedicated to helping individuals and businesses build their financial futures.

I recieved my Bachelor of Science in Finance from Boston College. During my 15-year career I have regularly attended industry training and certification programs so I remain at the top of my field. This includes completing the curriculum and passing the rigorous exams for the:

  • CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, (CFP®)
  • Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU), The American College
  • Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC), The American College

Along with my academic achievement and financial certifications, in 2009 I was inducted into AXA Advisors's Hall of Fame and I have the distinction of being a member of AXA's Paramount Planning Group.

The Paramount Planning Group is a select group of financial professionals affiliated with AXA Advisors, LLC who are distinguished as exceeding the highest standard of experience, knowledge and service in the industry.

Then, as a Financial Consultant of AXA Advisors, LLC, and an agent of the AXA Network, LLC, I will recommend the appropriate products and services to help you execute your strategy.
