President's Profile


Personal Profile of Tim Decker, PPC, AIF®
President of
ISI Financial Group, Inc.

After attending Grace College of the Bible in Omaha, Nebraska, Tim Decker moved here to Central Pennsylvania. Starting from nothing, Tim co-founded ISI Financial Group, Inc. in 1985. Tim is the owner and sole stockholder of ISI Financial Group, Inc.

With hard work, integrity and genuine concern for his clients, Tim has built ISI into a stable and reputable financial advisory firm managing millions for clients. Tim provides guidance in the areas of investment management, retirement planning and tax-reduction strategies, as well as recommendations in the areas of business and estate planning. Simply put, Tim maximizes financial security for his clients and the loved ones who depend on them.

Because ISI is completely independent and fee-only, this ensures that Tim represents his clients, not Wall Street.  As a result, we have alliances with many of the world’s leading money managers to provide clients with the best investment opportunities available today.  Tim does this through diligent research, ongoing communication and extensive travel throughout the year, yet he is always available to meet with or speak to his clients whenever they wish.

Along with the value of being independent, Tim has a sincere, "Sleep Well at Night" approach to financial management that clients value. Tim completely understands that trust and confidence are the foremost factors in his relationship with clients. And knowing that Tim invests his own money in the same investment vehicles, his clients really do "sleep well at night."

This award, presented by the Central Penn Business Journal, recognizes forty of the region's most dynamic business leaders under the age of 40 for their commitment to business growth, professional excellence and their community - people who will shape the future of Central Pennsylvania.
