How it works

After our initial consultation, you’ll embark on your financial journey with the Comprehensive Package, which includes ongoing meetings and a self-paced course for independent learning.

As a fee-only, advice-only Certified Financial Planner™,  I won’t take custody of and manage your assets, but I will give specific advice on what to put in your portfolios (without pressuring you to bring your assets to me).

To start, we’ll have six dedicated sessions to build the bones of your financial plan. After that, we’ll continue meeting until we’ve thoroughly addressed all core aspects of your finances over six months. These include managing your cash flow, selecting investments, projecting for retirement, tax, and estate planning.

Meeting 1:

Define your vision.

Meeting 2:

Get financially organized.

Meeting 3:

Create a detailed view of your cash flow.

Meeting 4:

Explore possibilities and brainstorm strategies.

Meeting 5:

Receive your personalized financial plan.

Meeting 6:

Put your plan into action and execute your strategy.

The Family Financial Planning Masterclass

When paired with the Comprehensive Financial Plan, the Masterclass is a self-paced digital course that gives you a deeper level of understanding behind my expert recommendations. It includes nine core lessons that will take you from beginner to advanced.

The curriculum:

1. Is my family ready to invest?

Learn how to create an emergency fund and when to pay off debt (or not) before you begin investing.

2. Investing basics
We’ll demystify common investing jargon and clarify the basics, like the definitions of stocks, bonds, and ETFs.
3. Becoming a successful long-term investor
Long-term stock market trends are much less scary than the media has led you to believe. This module explains how to use this knowledge to your advantage.
4. Picking the right type of investment account
401(k)! IRA! HSA! WTF? IDK! Learn when to use what type of account to minimize taxes and maximize long-term growth.
5. Building your portfolio
This module explains how to build a diversified, low-maintenance investment portfolio of low-cost index funds.
6. Being smart about investment taxes
Simple, intelligent strategies that anyone can follow to reduce your tax bill by thousands per year, now and in the future.
7. Investing for your kids
What are the best investment accounts for your kids, and how much should you be squirreling away for college?
8. Life insurance
Determine how much and what kind of life insurance you need.
9. Estate planning essentials
If you’re a parent, not having an estate plan puts your family at risk. Learn what an estate plan includes and how to get one.

I’m not some suit who bought a house for $22,000 & paid $4,000 for college tuition in 1979 who is suggesting that you cut back on Starbucks as a financial strategy.

I created the Comprehensive Plan Package for three big reasons.

1. There’s nothing else out there like this

Busy moms with young families are often neglected by traditional financial planners, leaving them without tailored guidance for their unique needs.

2. You don’t deserve cookie-cutter advice

I created this solution so women like you – whether you’re a high earner, real estate investor, stock options holder, or business owner – could access personalized guidance for your financial journey.

3. I want you to achieve financial success to match your professional accomplishments

As a high-earning family, you are successful. If that isn’t translating to your finances, I can help you bridge that gap.

FAQ

What's the difference between the Starter Plan and the Comprehensive Plan?

The Starter Plan is perfect for young families and employees with straightforward financial situations. The Comprehensive Plan is ideal for high-earning families with more complex situations (i.e., assets, real estate, stock options, and business ownership.) It provides tailored guidance for significant life decisions and ongoing support to navigate intricate financial choices.

How does the ongoing support work?

To start, we’ll have six dedicated sessions to build the bones of your financial plan. After that, we’ll continue meeting until we’ve thoroughly addressed all core aspects of your finances over six months. These include managing your cash flow, selecting investments, projecting for retirement, tax, and estate planning.

Can we continue to work together after the Comprehensive Plan package is complete?
Yes! Ongoing advice is then available for a monthly flat fee once the initial six-month engagement concludes. We’ll meet a minimum of 3 times a year, with regular touchpoints outside of these meetings. Subscriptions range between $350-$500. This is only available for those who have purchased a Comprehensive or Starter Package.
Can I access the Family Financial Planning Masterclass in isolation?

At this time, no. I designed the digital course to best serve students actively engaging in a financial planning process with me.
