Financial Planning

Since qualifying for the Certified Financial Planner ™ designation in 1990, I have been working with individuals to provide a blueprint for navigating many of the financial challenges of our lives.  My work includes the following:

  • Clarifying and quantifying financial goals through analysis of values, lifestyle, and personal goals.
  • Determining your current financial picture by gathering data and analyzing what you own, what you owe, what you earn, what you save, and how you spend.
  • Devising specific saving and spending strategies to achieve your goals.
  • Suggesting steps to achieve appropriate insurance coverage, tax savings, and estate planning.
  • Monitoring and fine-tuning suggestions as desired.
  • Educating you about important financial issues.
  • Empowering you to accept personal responsibility and take control of your financial life.
  • Recommending professionals who can help you implement various savings, insurance, tax or estate planning solutions necessary to achieve your financial goals.

I am available for one-time consults on specific issues (one hour minimum).  I charge an hourly fee or flat fee, depending on the services provided.  My work complies with the Code of Ethics of the Certified Financial Planner™ Board of Standards and my continuing education requirements are current.
