Financial & Tax Strategist - Coach - Planner
About Me
I'm tired of seeing people being taken advantage of - seeing people being over charged and unserved - seeing large organizations creating cookie cutter solutions generally focused around product sales and asset gathering which unfortunately creates material conflicts of interest .
​
One should expect that when working with an Advisor/Consultant there should be a "Quantifiable Value Add" and unbiased guidance. Unfortunately this is difficult to find in the current environment.

Who I Help
Historically my expertise has me working with working professionals/executive, business owners & retirees. That said, if I can add value and you want to work with me - you won't be turned away...
How I Do It
I cut out the "middleman" - I work directly with my client(s) as an Independent Strategic Consultant/Coach building customized plans- Providing Strategies and Ideas with NO "Conflicts of Interests" - Just Advice...
What's in It for You
I eliminate the risk by guaranteeing that I add more value than you will pay me. This means if I'm not able to provide a quantifiable value add - we don't do business. Period.
