FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

This is a judgment-free space. The firm’s role is to provide clarity—not to sell products.

Where do I begin? 

We start with a straightforward conversation about what matters most to you—your goals, priorities, and the life you want your finances to support.

Then we'll review your current financial picture and explain it in clear terms. You'll leave with clarity about where you stand and practical next steps—without feeling overwhelmed.

Do I need to bring any paperwork? 

Paperwork is not required for the first meeting.

If you choose to bring documents, they can be helpful—but a meaningful and productive conversation can happen without them.

Do I have to use your services if we meet about my finances? 

No.

There is never any obligation. Meeting with a financial planner does not commit you to ongoing services. You are always free to decide what feels right and to change course at any time.

Who should meet with the firm?

The firm works with individuals and families who want clarity around their financial decisions—whether they are building for the future or planning how to best use what they have already saved.

 

This includes people who:

  • Are investing for long-term goals such as retirement

  • Have accumulated savings or investments

  • Want informed options on optimizing them

  • Are looking to create a sustainable income stream in retirement

  • Want to pass assets to the next generation in a thoughtful, efficient way

  • Are concerned about taxes and want to avoid overpaying or unnecessary taxation

 

If you are seeking clear guidance—not products—and want your financial decisions to align with your long-term goals, this approach may be a good fit.

I feel behind and embaressed. Should we still meet? 

Yes—absolutely.

Many capable, responsible people feel this way, and it is not a personal failing. Life is busy, financial decisions are complex, and uncertainty is common—especially in the years leading up to retirement.

You are not behind. You are simply starting from where you are, and that is exactly where financial planning should begin.
