Financial Advice & Consulting
Comprehensive financial and estate planning is available-- use my years of experience to your advantage.
Financial Planning for Businesses
Succession planning, retirement plans, etc. My client base is 85% small business owners.
Portfolio Management
Money management is done directly not generally utilizing mutual funds and outside separate account managers. We tend to be value managers utilizing a discounted cash flow model similar to Warren Buffet--you know, and can follow, and understand what you own.
Retirement Planning
When can you retire and how much can you spend in retirement? We run an analysis that will show these things and marks to the mark daily so the plan is dynamic.
401K Rollovers
Proper handling of a rollover from company retirement plans to self directed IRAs. Fee/asset based directed money management.
Insurance Planning
Life insurance, disability, Long Term Care, etc. Typically a needs analysis is done to determine you needs.
