Founded in 1988
Jim Cosner founded Cosner Financial Group over 30 years ago, in Midland, Texas after serving in the United States Airforce. With a growing family, he was drawn to the evolving financial industry and the ability to help others plan their future through straight-forward financial advice.
While the roots of Cosner Financial Group are based in Texas, his experience in the mountain west as a University of Wyoming alumni drew him to expand to Colorado.
Ryan joins the Firm
Jim’s son Ryan, now the CEO of Cosner Financial Group, joined the firm in 2002, after earning his bachelor’s degree at Texas Tech University in Personal Financial Planning.
Ryan credits his passion for finance to his father Jim reading The Wall Street Journal stock quotes on the way to his childhood soccer games.
“We’ve intentionally grown Cosner Financial Group into a business that, we ourselves, would want to work with” – Ryan
Firm Expansion
In 2007, Cosner Financial Group expanded to Northern Colorado. Our current Colorado office located in Windsor was established in 2024. With the opening of a Colorado office, what started as a small operation based out of a mother-in-law unit in Midland, grew to into a business backed by multiple generations of the Cosner family.
Along with its expansion into Colorado, the firm also brought on Jeremy Newton in 2007. Jeremy, with his now 15 years of financial services industry experience, is the current manager of the Midland branch.
