Do you want reasonably priced, comprehensive financial planning services from a responsive fee only investment advisor and personal financial planner?

I am committed to the financial education of my clients. I strongly believe that financial education will help you to make much better personal financial planning decisions across your lifetime. Together, we can significantly improve the quality of your practices in family financial planning and your personal investment management.

We will work together cooperatively to analyze your financial affairs. We will develop a detailed lifecycle projection model of your family’s finances that will allow us to automate the testing of how different personal financial decisions might impact your family’s financial future.

I will help you to understand and adopt more durable, time-efficient, and cost-effective lifetime financial and investment strategies. I will advise you on improved methods for the long-term self-management of your family’s financial affairs. Your personal financial and investment plan will be designed for cost-efficiency, tax-efficiency, and time-efficiency. Once established, your financial plan should require minimal tuning over time.

As your personal financial advisor and independent investment advisor, I will also act as your financial consumer advocate.

I will help you learn how to be a highly cost conscious consumer of financial and investment products that are consistent with your personal financial goals and plan.

My financial and retirement planning services will be valuable and cost-effective to you. My financial consultant fees will be reasonable, clearly understood, and determined in advance. I can provide you with comprehensive, reasonably priced financial, investment, and retirement planning services on an hourly, fixed fee, or retainer basis.

I will never charge any fees in relationship to your assets. Simply put, your financial assets are yours and not mine. I believe that financial advisor fees should not be proportional to your assets.

Your family’s interests will always come first. I will work exclusively for you and your family. I will never accept any form of compensation from any third party.

When delivering my financial planning and investment advisory services, I will never tolerate any conflict of interest. No financial industry incentives will ever interfere with my development of an optimal long-term financial plan for you. My recommendations will focus exclusively on your family’s financial interests.

Get help from a fee only financial planner and independent investment advisor who will:

  • Take the time necessary to understand your family’s personal financial and retirement planning situation in comprehensive detail
  • Provide thorough, personalized, and specific financial action plans
  • Put you at the center of decisions using a sophisticated and fully automated personal financial planning tool that projects across your lifetime the potential impacts of financial decisions you might wish to make.
