Financial Planning That Starts With Understanding You
Every financial decision is connected.
Whether you have one specific question or need a comprehensive financial plan, I first take time to understand your current financial picture so my recommendations fit your unique situation.
That means we'll begin by reviewing your:
-
Income and cash flow
-
Savings and investments
-
Retirement accounts
-
Debts
-
Insurance
-
Current financial priorities and goals
Once I understand where you are today, I'll provide recommendations that are practical, personalized, and focused on helping you move forward with confidence.
Step1: Your Financial Planning Project
Every new client begins with an initial planning project.
The scope depends on your needs. Some clients have one specific planning question, while others want a more comprehensive review.
Examples include:
-
Retirement planning
-
Roth conversion analysis
-
Tax planning
-
Investment allocation review
-
College planning
-
Employee benefits
-
Social Security decisions
-
Cash flow and savings strategies
-
Major life transitions
After learning about your finances, I'll develop recommendations tailored to your goals and provide a clear action plan for you to implement.
Projects typically range from $3,000–$6,000, depending on complexity.
Step 2: Continue Working Together (optional)
Your financial plan is your roadmap, but life rarely follows a perfectly straight path. As your circumstances, priorities, and goals change, I can help you stay on course.
Think of me as your financial compass: providing perspective, helping you navigate decisions, and keeping you aligned with the plan you created.
Through an annual Ongoing Financial Advice Agreement, you have access to continued guidance and support, including:
-
Guidance as financial questions arise
-
Virtual meetings as needed
-
Review of significant life or financial changes
-
Updates to previous recommendations
-
Ongoing planning guidance and accountability
Services are billed at $300 per hour and invoiced quarterly based on time used.
There is no long-term commitment — you can use ongoing advice when it provides value and pause when it no longer fits your needs.
