HOW WE HELP
Your financial journey consists of two critical phases, accumulation, and distribution. The process can help you at whatever point you find yourself in this journey. I begin by taking a 360-degree look at your current cash flow and savings and discuss the pros and cons of each. The goal is to help you maintain your lifestyle now and in the future by helping you to reduce or eliminate wealth transfers. I do this by taking a look at how you buy, how you save, and what you can expect in return and help you bring dollars you were giving away back to the table to reuse in the future.

This approach to financial planning is unique. I take a 360-degree look at your finances and help identify areas you may be unnecessarily, even unknowingly, transferring money away. By identifying risks associated with taxes, inflation, expected market returns, and access/exit costs of the current financial accounts you own, I help you uncover opportunities to build greater wealth and stability without taking on additional risk or expense.
I believe there are greater opportunities helping my clients avoid losses than by chasing rates of return.
