We specialize in working with working professionals, professionals nearing retirement and families who want to grow wealth and live their best lives.

Most other advisors focus on helping those who are in retirement. Our focus is to help you get there. We spend most of our time focusing on making the most of your cash flow, optimizing your savings, fine tuning your retirement plan, helping you evaluate investment opportunities, and enjoying your best life today.

Managing risk is the foundation of any investment portfolio. We favor using low-cost, tax-efficient, index-based investments.

However, we don't stop there. We see investments as something beyond cash, stocks, bonds, or employer options. Your portfolio consists of also any real estate or businesses.

We incorporate these investments into your comprehensive plan to make informed decisions on how best to manage risk.

We see tax planning as an essential element of any financial plan. In addition to helping you evaluate tax-efficient investment strategies, we help you better understand your tax opportunities and risks. We spend time reviewing your tax returns and use that information to make informed decisions regarding how best to manage your taxes.

We do not offer tax preparation services but are happy to work with your tax preparer.

We offer virtual services. We meet via Teams. We are always open to meeting face to face for those who live in the Portland, Oregon, area.

For financial planning clients, we typically meet every other week when working with clients to create an initial financial plan. The initial plan usually takes between four and six meetings (we are flexible to each client's needs and schedules). After completing the initial plan for ongoing planning clients, our goal is to meet about every four months. We are very accommodating to your needs. So, your financial planner's calendar is available for any unknown items that crop up in your finances.

For clients who only engage with investment management services, we typically meet once a year, and your planner's calendar is available to discuss investment-related items as needed.
