 FAQs

  • Absolutely, YES! 100% of the time. As a fiduciary, it means that I am acting in your best interest. I have signed a fiduciary oath to uphold this high standard. Not all financial advisors choose to or are acting as fiduciaries all the time.

  • Yes, we have clients in St. Petersburg and located across the country. Even though clients may be local, being virtual is ideal because it increases meeting response time and clients are able to easily schedule meetings that don’t require additional travel time, parking hassle, and waiting in a lobby to be seen in a downtown office. And for those with young families, giving you back that extra time also means not having to find childcare or transportation for little ones while you block several hours out of your day to travel to meet your advisor. Working together virtually is faster, more convenient, and less stressful for you as the client. We believe if you can show up authentically as yourself on Zoom, you also skip the suits and ties parade of the old-school financial advisor’s office and feel more relaxed in the comfort of your own home.

  • Working together virtually means that you can be your authentic self and log in from anywhere, saving you time and energy. We know that money conversations can feel deeply personal, and we want you to feel relaxed in the comfort of your own space to talk freely. We use Zoom for our meetings. You will receive access to your own financial planning dashboard where we will collaborate and build your plan together. Your personalized financial planning site also has a secure vault for us to share documents so we ask that you never send sensitive information over email. In addition to seeing how your investments fit within your comprehensive financial plan, our investment management clients will be able to monitor investments and view statements through one of our custodians. The security of your information is our highest priority and working virtually eliminates paper waste and fewer chances of your sensitive information landing in unwanted hands.

  • I hold the CFP® and CFA designations and I have earned an MBA with a finance concentration. I have been in the financial services industry for approximately 20 years, working directly with clients on their investments, training teams of other financial planners, creating financial plans, working with multi-generational families, and helping thousands of clients make the transition into retirement bliss and achieve their life goals.

  • We believe the markets are efficient and reflect publicly available information. Therefore, active management through selecting individual stocks generally does not add consistent value over a long period of time. Frequent buying and selling can add more in taxes, fees, and lost opportunities through trying to time the market and therefore, can do more harm than good. We believe that the best way to achieve long-term financial success is through an appropriate asset allocation strategy that aligns with your goals, establishing a regular investment regime (for wealth builders), periodic rebalancing, and diversification in a disciplined approach. We focus on things we can control.

  • Our Investment Management Principles:

    · ALIGN & STRATEGIZE: Designate strategies by account to align with your values and goals

    · LOW-COST DIVERSIFICATION: Minimize costs with low annual expense ratios and use index funds where possible

    · GROW NOT CHASE: Optimize long-term inflation-adjusted appreciation and/or income to fit your goals and avoid chasing past-performance that leads to unjustified portfolio risk

    · TAX FOCUSED: Minimize taxes over the long-term while maximizing your goals for financial success through tax-efficient investments and tax planning

    · KEEP IT SIMPLE: Look for opportunities to simplify your financial picture and alleviate financial stressors of life

  • As a fee-only, independent, fiduciary, we never receive commissions from the investments we recommend for you. We will not sell you life insurance or annuities. We are compensated for providing financial advice and investment management.

    We charge 0.50%-1% annual advisory fee with a $600,000 asset minimum.

    Our annual fee starts at $6,000. If you have $600,000 or more in investable assets (IRA, Roth IRA, or brokerage account), the fee is deducted from your investment account.

    Not quite at the $600,000 mark yet? No worries!! A $500 monthly subscription fee can be paid directly from your checking account while working towards your savings goals.

  • Yes. Our first Introductory meeting should last about 30 minutes and is a chance for us to get to know each other, for you to ask your most pressing questions, and for us to share how we work with clients to see if there is a mutual fit. If there is a good connection, we’ll both sign an electronic Client Agreement, set up your payment method, and we can jump right into the planning process, onboarding, and most importantly, begin working through some of your highest priorities.
