What Our Financial Planning Services Cover
As part of our ongoing relationship, your financial plan is designed to include guidance and scenario modeling across your major decision points:
Retirement Planning
We help you understand how much you need to retire the way you want, and create a strategy to get there. Our planning covers income strategy, drawdown sequencing, longevity risks, Social Security, and Medicare—to help you retire strong.
Estate Planning
Your wealth should reflect your intentions—both during life and after. We collaborate with your attorney to design estate planning strategies that align with your values, protect your loved ones, and support your philanthropic goals.
Cash Flow Planning
We treat cash as a strategic asset class. From short-term needs to long-term flexibility, our cash flow planning helps you understand how much you need, how much you can deploy, and when to act.
Tax Planning
Tax strategy is embedded into your financial plan. We work closely with your CPA to help minimize your liability across investments, stock compensation, charitable giving, and more.
Risk Management
We review your insurance coverage, helping to uncover gaps, eliminate waste, and create a protection plan that supports your broader financial strategy.
Education Savings Planning
Want to balance your own goals with your desire to support others? Whether you’re saving for private school or grad school, we evaluate vehicles like 529s and model how education funding fits into your larger plan.
Charitable Giving
You want your giving to be as intentional as your investing. We help you evaluate donor-advised funds, gifting appreciated assets, and donation timing and structures that align your generosity with your goals.
Stock-Based Compensation
Equity compensation decisions often carry big implications. We evaluate your RSUs, PSUs, and Stock Options to help you plan for taxes, cash flow, diversification, and concentration risk.
