Investment Management: We believe clients should understand their options before making decisions. We manage investment portfolios of $750,000 or more on a fee-only basis, which gives us flexibility to adjust holdings as your situation and the markets change. Our goal is to align your portfolio with the financial plan we develop together.

Client assets are custodied at Fidelity, which provides clearing and statement services for accounts we manage.

For families, we will combine assets for parents, siblings, and children for the purpose of investment fee calculations. This reduces fees for the entire family. For families where we manage more than $1 million in investments, we are happy to provide financial planning advice at no charge to children of all ages.

Coordination With Your Professional Team

Financial planning rarely happens in isolation. We routinely coordinate with your CPA, estate planning attorney, insurance agent, and other professionals to keep advice consistent across your entire financial picture.

If you already work with trusted advisors, we are glad to collaborate with them as part of your planning and investment strategy. This team-based approach helps ensure that tax, legal, insurance, and investment decisions support the same long-term goals.
