A few practical details.
When does it make sense to hire someone like you?
The clients I work with best are usually at an inflection point: a significant income jump, a business sale, a growing family, equity compensation that's getting complicated, or a realization that they've been too busy to give their finances the attention they deserve. If you have the income and complexity but not the time or expertise to manage it well, that's when I tend to add the most value.
How are your fees structured?
I work with clients in two ways:
Financial Planning with Investment Management. An ongoing advisory fee calculated as a percentage of your household advisory assets, billed quarterly.
Financial Planning Only. A fixed quarterly fee, with no assets required.
The investment management fee scales with the assets I manage. The planning-only fee is based on the complexity of the work. I walk through both structures with you in our first conversations and we determine which one fits your situation.
Is there an account minimum?
There is no minimum account size. What matters is whether the work aligns with your situation and needs, and that is what we determine together in the discovery call.
