PIA is not affiliated with insurance companies, accounting firms, trustee organizations, banks or trust companies. Services are fee based and not commission driven. As a result, the investment recommendations you receive from me will be unbiased and based on what is in your best interests, rather than the personal financial gains of the advisor. PIA was founded in 2002 by Dan Eimers, a licensed investment advisor. My investment experience is backed up by a solid educational background that includes an MBA in Finance/Investments from the University of Iowa, as well as a BS in Business Administration from Northeast Missouri State University. This financial background has been further strengthened by the analytical skills I developed while working in various investment and finance related positions in trust department banking, business consulting and aerospace. I believe it is important to thoroughly understand the client's financial situation, risk tolerances and investment objectives before developing a portfolio tailored to that individual's financial needs. This step by step process is accomplished through a detailed interview where the client is actively engaged in the decision making process. This systematic approach allows me to customize my investment advice to each of my client's unique situations. PIA offers two types of services:               • Day to day investment management: investment advisor provides portfolio management by recommending and continually monitoring both the                 asset allocation plan and portfolio of securities in order to attempt to meet the client's investment objectives. The fee structure for investment                 management services is based on a percent of the total assets under management.               • Investment advice by consultation: investment advisor is retained on an as needed basis to provide investment advice and recommendations to                 the client. The consultation fee for investment advice is on a dollars per hour basis. Services are 100% fee based and are highly competitive. By not selling financial products on commission PIA avoids potential conflicts of interest. This ensures that my main interest is in satisfying clients' needs.
