Charitable Giving
Below is an overview of some of the common methods that individuals use to make charitable gifts, along with some important tips that you should keep in mind.

Wealth Education
Financial Literacy means being empowered with the knowledge to make smart financial decisions during every stage of life. Discussing family finances is especially important with adult children, no matter their age. It's not always easy, but starting the conversation is a key step in long-term wealth planning.
Financial Empowerment Across Generation
Executive Compensation: Stock and Stock Options
Executives today are increasingly compensated with
stock or stock options. A benefit of receiving stock or
options is that they allow the employee to share in the
growth of the company without making a current investment (by purchasing stock or exercising options). However, exercising stock options presents a number of difficult—and sometimes divergent—choices. Accordingly, it is critical that an executive understand the risk of investing financial assets and the potential reward of preferential income tax treatment.

Philanthropic Planning
Your set of philanthropic objectives is as personal as your vision of a better world. Determining your objectives however, can be challenging when there are so many worthy causes and so many unmet needs.
Learn MoreFinancial Planning
My wealth management strategy is centered around you, your family, and your profession - where you are now and where you want to be in the future. We provide the structure to help you get there. Check out our process below:
Step 1: Introductory Meeting
Our relationship begins with an initial discussion aimed towards getting to know you, your lifestyle, and your future goals.
Step 2: Discovery Meeting
During the discovery meeting, we will work together to establish your financial goals by reviewing your current financial situation and developing a suitable risk tolerance that will ultimately help you achieve the financial outcome you envision for yourself.
Step 3: Financial Planning
Financial plans map out essential factors that play into your financial success. Examining all relevant financial information provides a holistic asset allocation analysis for all of your accounts ensuring a comprehensive financial plan.
Step 4: Action Items
After the creation of the financial plan, I will follow up with you regarding my analysis and recommendations.
Step 5: Implementation
Implementation focuses on creating prospective strategies custom designed for your specific needs. Recommended changes could include logistics, tax impact, asset allocation adjustments, and saving and benefit modifications.
Step 6: Monitoring & Performance Tracking
Finally, I will be constantly monitoring your assets and analyzing your performance tracking data to ensure your financial expectations are being met and adjusted accordingly. We will keep a high degree of communication with you to make sure your concerns and requests are always addressed.
