Blue Bell, Pennsylvania

Your whole financial life, on one page.

If a plan takes an hour to read, it never gets read. Yours is one sheet, and it tells you what to do next.

The difference

Eight areas coordinated, not eight documents stapled together.

The usual shape

"Here is your retirement projection. Your attorney handles the estate side."

Each area decided on its own, by a different person, none of whom sees what the others changed. The gaps between them are where the money quietly goes.

How it works here

"A Roth conversion this year changes the estate picture, so we look at both."

Tax, retirement, investments, estate, insurance, education, cash flow and the business, run as one plan. A move in the company and a move in your personal life are never decided in isolation.

How it works

Five steps, and the first one is free.

The EVOKE® process. Nothing moves and nothing changes until you decide it should, and I will tell you early if this is not a fit.

01

Exploration

A relaxed call. I listen, I do not pitch, and it costs nothing.

02

Vision

What the money is actually for, answered before any numbers are run.

03

Obstacles

What stands between the two, named honestly rather than talked around.

04

Knowledge

The work I go away and do: returns, statements, documents, the company.

05

Execution

The plan on one page, then the meetings that keep it moving.

Before we meet

Three short questionnaires do most of the preparation.

The Three Questions ask what the money is actually for, and couples answer that one separately on purpose. The Investment Risk Scorecard sets where your mix starts. For owners, the Exit Readiness Scorecard scores what a buyer would look at.

They take a few minutes each, and they mean the first real meeting starts with a plan already drafted rather than watching me build one.

Local, and not only local

Based in Blue Bell. Planning for people anywhere.

I am in Blue Bell, in Montgomery County, and I work with households across Greater Philadelphia, Chester and Bucks counties. Planning is a conversation and a shared screen rather than a room, so the same work suits you just as well from another state, and a good many of the plans I build are for people I have never met in person.
