As a fee-only financial planner and the father of two young boys myself, I can help you create a plan that allows you to do three things:

  1. Pay your bills and handle unexpected expenses with ease.
  2. Save ahead for the future goals you want to achieve.
  3. All while enjoying yourself today and spending money on the things that matter.

If you’d like to work with a professional who understands what you’re going through and can show you how to build a better financial future, you’re in the right place.

I offer two different levels of service so that you can get the right amount of guidance no matter what stage you’re in.

You deserve to get personalized financial advice at a price you can afford, and that’s why I offer the Jump Start Session.

The Jump Start Session is pay-what-you-can, meaning you set the price based on what you think is fair and what you can afford to pay.

Then we meet for an hour, focusing on the topics that are most important to you, identifying the most efficient ways for you to reach your goals, and laying out the specific action steps needed to get there.

Afterwards, I follow up with a written summary of my recommendations so that you know exactly what you need to do next to improve your financial situation.

You have a lot you want to do with your family now. And you have a lot you want to do in the future.

Together we can find the right balance so that you can make progress towards those future goals while still enjoying yourself today.

Level 2: Full Financial Plan

Over the course of 6 months we work together to create and implement a plan that covers your entire financial life.

The overarching goal is to align your financial plan with your personal goals and values, striking a balance between building financial security, saving for the future, and allowing you to enjoy yourself today.

Your plan is tailored to address the issues that are most important to you, but here’s an outline of what’s commonly included:

  • Client Dashboard – You get access to a portal that organizes all of your financial information in one place and makes it easy for us to collaborate.
  • Goal Setting – We look at both your personal and financial goals and prioritize them together so that you know exactly what you’re working towards.
  • Cash Flow Analysis – We review your current spending and savings patterns to ensure that your money is going towards the things you care about most.
  • Savings Plan – We create a plan that specifies how much to save for each of your financial goals over the next few years and where to put those savings in order to balance both return and safety.
  • Retirement and Investment Plan – We determine your monthly savings goal and create a long-term investment plan, including the specific investments to use across your multiple accounts.
  • College Savings Plan – We create a plan that includes how much to save, which accounts to use, and how to invest.
  • Debt Payoff Plan – We determine which debts to pay off first and how much money to put towards each. With student loans, I help you make decisions around consolidation, refinancing, and choosing a repayment plan.
  • Employee Benefits Review – I show you how to take maximum advantage of the benefits available to you and stop wasting money on benefits that aren’t helping you.
  • Life and Disability Insurance Analysis – We determine the exact amount of coverage you need and analyze your existing policies. If you need to apply for more coverage, I connect you with my fantastic team of independent insurance advisors and walk through the entire process with you.
  • Estate Plan Analysis – I review your current estate planning documents, make recommendations when updates are needed, and refer you to a local estate planning attorney.

How Do I Start?

The first step is signing up for a Jump Start Session, which is a 60-minute, pay-what-you-can meeting designed to help you make quick progress towards your biggest financial goals.

At the end of that session you may feel like you’ve gotten all the advice you need and head on your way. Or you may want the extra input and guidance that comes with a full financial plan, in which case the work we’ve already done will put us in a better position that make that successful.

Either way, you’ll have what you need to take the next step towards a better financial future.
