Who Is Not a Client Fit?
We believe that financial planning requires a mutual fit between advisor and client.
Our team strives to help clients step back and look at their financial plan on the large screen instead of through a microscope.
Weekends and evenings are reserved for time with our families, so we cannot meet during these times.
We work on a referral basis, so folks who want to share their experience are welcome to join our practice as a client!
