What truly differentiates us in our industry—beyond our experience, expertise, and
commitment —is our transparent and client-friendly fee structure. We don’t charge by the hour,
avoiding the typical $500/hour costs many firms impose. Nor do we require hefty retainers,
which can sometimes reach $20,000 before any work begins. Moreover, while we manage
assets for many of our clients, we don’t mandate opening new accounts or transferring assets
upfront. Instead, we believe in earning that trust and responsibility through our work, not
assuming it from the outset.

Retirement Planning

Estate Planning
Insurance Planning
This is also referred to as Income
Planning when you decide to
retire. This includes Social Security
planning, Medicare planning,
income planning and goal setting.
It involves using your cash flow
and financial position and then
turning the resources you have
into income streams to live from.
Tax Planning involves reviewing
your tax returns and creating
strategies to minimize tax burden
not only now but in the future.
Tax planning is an essential part
of wealth management. It
involves strategizing to minimize
tax liabilities while maximizing
after-tax wealth for our clients.
This is also referred to as Risk
Management. This includes life,
disability, health, vehicle and
property insurance to name a
few. Depending on your stage in
life, your insurance needs (risk
management needs) will change
and evolve.
Often the last step for many
clients is deciding who you want
your money to go to after you die
and strategies to maximize your
impact. We find a lot of clients
want their wealth to transfer to
their children, church or charity.
