Ongoing Planning

Working together on all aspects of your financial life, including investment management, taxes, and whatever life throws your way.

Prices range from $400-$750 per month with a one-time onboarding fee that ranges from $1,000-$3,000, depending on complexity.

Who is this option for?

  • Those looking for partnership and ongoing guidance, rather than a transactional relationship

  • Families, business owners, and those with financial complexity and/or frequent life/financial changes

Think of this like getting an in-house general counsel: a resource available to you to provide proactive advice, support, and follow-through on an ongoing basis.

Who is this option for?

  • Those wanting to get organized financially and develop a “map” to follow

  • Those just starting out who want to establish a solid foundation and forward-looking plan for their finances

  • Those comfortable with implementing action items on their own

Think of this like hiring outside counsel: bringing in a resource to address specific problems, answer questions, and assess the current situation.

Hourly-Based Planning

Pay hourly to address some questions or get a second opinion. The hourly rate is $350.

Who is this option for?

  • Those looking for a check-up or second opinion on their financial status

  • Those who have specific concerns or topics they want to better understand

  • Those comfortable with implementing action items on their own
