“I’d rather be certain of a good return than hopeful of a great one.”
– Warren Buffett

We are a comprehensive fee-only financial planning firm.  As such, we address all areas of your financial life.  This includes each area of financial planning as well as investment management. We believe that each aspect of your financial life impacts all other areas.  It is therefore essential to take a comprehensive approach that puts all planning and investment strategy decisions within a global context.

Financial Planning

We believe that true financial planning is a process, not a one-time event. Life is dynamic and the financial plan must be constantly monitored and adjusted to ensure that you remain on track whatever changes may arise within your life or in the world at large.

Social Security Planning

Social Security is far more complicated than most people realize. The decisions you make now can have a tremendous impact on the total amount of benefits you stand to receive over your lifetime. Social Security planning is a key component of our comprehensive planning services. It is also available as a standalone review service to help you determine the optimal benefit claiming strategies for your situation.
