Optimized plans that leave more for you to enjoy.

Sarah built all-encompassing roadmaps as a wealth planner and specialized in tax strategies as an accountant—making her uniquely positioned as a financial planner to see the big picture as well as notice the gaps. She knows what to flag when working with your accountant, and how to design a plan that makes the most out of your wealth.

Reliable plans that don’t fall apart with the first curveball.

Maximizing your investment returns sounds like an enticing idea—until you realize the market can’t be relied on to deliver a specific return at a specific time (even if it’s great for long-term growth). We focus on what can be controlled: being strategic with tax and how you take out money, and planning for expenses (including the ones you might not be expecting).

Right-Sized plans built with your best interest in mind.

Whether your financial situation is complex or you’re dealing with a simple budget, we’re committed to creating a plan that’s right for you and your retirement vision. We take the time to get to know your unique situation before offering solutions, and our transparent cost structure enables us to put your long-term goals first.
