Financial Planning

Real life has real needs and real dreams and needs a real plan. Hope is not a plan. I help you explore your current financial situation and clarify your goals.

 

 

Cash Flow Management

Our questions are designed to identify your lifestyle needs as painlessly as possible.

 

Retirement Planning

Looming retirement, voluntary or forced, is often the main reason people talk with a CFP®.

 

Estate Planning

Using your plan as a guide, we work with a team of estate/tax attorneys to design the estate tools you need to accurately, privately and quickly settle your affairs.

 

Insurance Planning

Whether you are providing for your spouse and children, your business or your estate, insurance needs are analyzed.

 

Tax Planning

We invest with tax consequences in mind, not as a driver of choice but just one aspect of efficient investing.

 

Social Security / Health Care Planning

In this time of uncertainty it helps to have a CFP® analyze your unique Social Security and Health Insurance opportunities.

 

Education Planning

Learn about your available options, their pros and cons and how to fund for college.
