Financial Planning
Doesn't Have to Be a Big Deal

It Starts with a Conversation

Financial planning can feel daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. Our team takes a kitchen table approach to financial planning – not just because our original conference table was actually a kitchen table from IKEA. Our approach starts with a conversation and grows from there. So pull up a chair and let’s get started.

We Meet You Where You Are

The first thing we need to do is get to know you so we can understand your goals, dreams and fears when it comes to money. Once we know you, we can help build a plan that is customized just for you.

Smart About Money™ in Every Season of Life

Good decision making around money isn’t something you just learn in a class. It is more akin to learning a sport than learning geometry. Financial literacy takes a lot of practice and repetition. We’ve created a library of resources to help you get Smart About Money™, organized by articles commonly viewed by the following age groups.

Having Money Gives You Choices

Watching you get there is what motivates us to work hard for you.
