MY FOCUS

When asked how I help clients, my response is simple. My commitment is to provide guidance in support of an appropriate financial plan we develop together. This could include but would not be limited to any of the following financial planning services:

  • Investment Planning — I conduct a thorough review of a client’s portfolio to confirm that it aligns with a client’s specific goals and risk tolerance.
  • Estate Planning — I work closely with clients’ respective CPA and attorneys to create an estate plan that minimizes their tax liabilities and designates that their wealth is distributed according to their wishes.
  • Retirement Planning — After conducting an in-depth review of a client’s retirement plans, we consider and construct withdrawal optimization strategies in compliance with the latest laws regarding required minimum distributions.
  • Risk Management and Insurance Planning — It is important to regularly review policies to make sure they are up to date with the correct beneficiaries and coverage.
  • Financial Planning for Loved Ones — I help create a strategy for clients who want to make significant gifts, save for college tuition or create 529 plans.
