Estate Planning
We will analyze your estate documents to ensure your plan was executed the way you intended.
Tax Planning
Are you paying too much? We will help you minimize your tax burden by reviewing your tax returns, actively tax loss harvesting, exploring Roth IRA conversions, and maximizing your charitable giving with a tax efficient gifting strategy.
Charitable Giving
If you are so inclined there are ways to get more bang for your buck. Give more to the charity of your choice and less to Uncle Sam.

We will help you assess your options when it comes to health care in retirement, which Medicare Part D plans fits your needs and the differences between Medigap and Medicare Advantage Plans.

WEALTH MANAGEMENT
We offer fee-only, discretionary investment management and advisory services tailored to meet our clients’ financial needs and investment objectives. Our customized approach to investment management requires every client have an Investment Policy Statement that lays the groundwork of the investment strategy of your portfolio, financial plan, and ongoing management of your investments.
We stress working collectively with our clients building a comprehensive financial plan, putting the plan into action, and monitoring and implementing adjustments to the plan as required based on changes in our client’s financial situation or market and economic conditions.
Fees
COMPREHENSIVE WEALTH MANAGEMENT AND INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
