  • A. Our ongoing financial planning clients typically have the following characteristics:

    —You want to work with a trusted advisor to collaborate on your financial plan. You have the desire to implement the plan over the next few years.

    —You identify with one or more of the following: a professional who is settled in their career and has their highest-earning years still ahead, a dual-income earning family, and/or own one or more businesses.

    —Your household annual gross income is generally $150,000+ (our fees become too expensive at lower income levels)

    —You may have student loans and/or mortgage debt remaining, but generally don’t carry much credit card debt.

    —You are comfortable with using technology for a variety of purposes: uploading account statements, e-signing for new accounts, accessing your online tools and meeting virtually.

  • No, although it makes the most sense for ongoing financial planning clients to work with me for at least one year, clients can give a 30 day notice to cancel anytime. I will refund you any fees not yet earned.
