To me this doesn't sound firm enough. Just tell him that your trusted financial advisor said not to do it, so you won't. And don't get into why with him. He'll ask why, of course, and maybe who as well. Just say no again. Or "What is it about NO that you don't understand?" It sounds like you've been intimidated by Big Brother for a long time. You need to do more than just "get him to back off a little bit."
As an aside, you could offer to buy him out instead. Then you won't have to deal with this scenario again some time in the future.
You really don't want to be in a long term relationship (business or personal) with someone that you can't trust.
