Using the experience, intellectual capital and global resources of the firm, Christine helps each of the families in her practice to meet their specific and most critical goals. Here are some of the questions we help our clients answer every day:
Financial Planning
Life is constantly changing. How do I prepare for a more secure future knowing that certain events – like a divorce or a death in the family – can dramatically impact my plans?
Retirement Planning
Have I saved enough for retirement so I can maintain my current lifestyle without worrying I'll run out of money? What is the best way to re-invest my 401(k) when I get ready to leave my company and retire?
Asset Organization
I have assets spread across multiple organizations and platforms. How do I get organized and simplify my financial life?
Managing Risk
Life's risks can reveal themselves in many ways – from loss of life to loss of health. How do I protect myself and my family from life's unknowns?
Professional Portfolio Management
I have so many things I want to do with my life. How can one investment strategy balance them all?
Socially-Responsible Investing
Is there a way to incorporate my personal values into the way I invest without giving up performance?
Charitable Giving
Are my charitable donations having the impact I want them to have?
Growing Older
Given extended life expectancy, how do I make certain I can afford the health services I may need?
We Work With People Who Care About Living Socially Responsible Lives
What that means differs by person. When we work together, we talk about your values and the impact you want to make with you money and your life. Part of how we create that impact is by using sustainable investments. Why Sustainable Investing? Futurists paint striking and sometimes divergent pictures of the world in 2050. On the one hand, technology will empower us to harness scarce resources more efficiently than ever; transform health care delivery, and lift millions out of poverty. On the other hand, a population of nearly 10 billion people may intensify competition for natural resources and food, overcrowd urban infrastructure, accelerate climate change and increase economic disparities. The prognostications may sound remote, but they depict a world that is less than 30 years away - a time frame short enough to affect anyone who is raising young children, planning for retirement, or just beginning a career. We believe that the global challenges we face in the decades ahead pose critically important questions not only for society at large but also for each of us as individuals, citizens, parents, leaders and policymakers. And for our clients, these challenges are likely to present significant implications for their financial goals and investment decisions.
Broad-Based Sustainability
Exposure to companies from all sectors and industry groups that reflect the best environmental practices relative to industry peers, invest in companies with sustainable practices, including efficient natural resource use and efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Climate Action
Investments in companies with products and services targeting key sustainability goals and climate solutions. Focus on investable themes that seek to improve climate change mitigation and/or adaption solutions.
Fossil Fuel Awareness
Eliminate or reduce exposure to companies producing coal, oil and nuclear energy or owning significant fossil fuel reserves or bottom environmental performers.
Gender Lens
Avoid exposure to companies with poor gender diversity records while seeking companies with leading gender diversity records, including strong policies and programs, diverse board of directors and senior management.
Improving Lives
Investment focused on enterprises that deliver positive impact such as alleviating poverty and promoting community development.
Inclusive Workspace
Focus on companies or funds seeking to create an inclusive workspace through channels such as workplace equity, access to capital, and work/life balance programs.
Women Without Limits
We are passionate about helping women who are in decision making roles in life, family, and business. Whatever your role, we want to assist you in education, resources, and planning to help you navigate all things financial.
Wealth Planning for Women
Investing is an important part of your wealth planning strategy, and you to invest in a way that fits both your lifestyle and long-term goals. For women, that may mean factoring in pay gaps, career breaks, longer lifespans, and higher healthcare costs in retirement. Learning how to start investing -- and understanding how your investment approach may change over time -- will help ensure that you stay on track to achieve the future you envision.
Taking Control of Your Finances After Divorce or Death of a Spouse: A Guide for Women
Financial planning after a divorce or death can be trying, but with the right approach and the right advice you can turn a difficult situation into empowerment.
Financial Planning for Women in Every Stage of Life
As women balance careers, caregiving and personal goals, putting financial strategies in place can help prepare for every stage of life. Here are some topics we can explore together.

About Melissa Long
With 13 years of industry experience, I’ve worked across a range of financial planning and investment areas – from retirement to cash flow planning to portfolio management and helping clients navigate major life transitions. Over the years, I’ve come to believe that meaningful financial guidance isn’t just about the markets – it’s about people, their goals, and the life they want to build.
Today, as a Financial Advisor and Financial Planning Specialist, I take a high-touch, emotionally attuned approach to financial planning. I work closely with individuals and families to craft personalized financial plans that serve as a clear road map – not only for managing cash flow and planning for retirement, but also for making confident, informed investment decisions. It’s a collaborative process grounded in trust, empathy, and a long-term relationship.
I was born and raised in a small town in Vermont, and those roots continue to shape both my life and my work. I value simplicity, strong relationships, and helping people make thoughtful decisions that reflect what matters most. I now live in Essex Junction with my husband, our two young children, Olivia and Evan, and our friendly cat, Chloe. As a family, we love supporting local businesses, going on nature walks and exploring Vermont’s beautiful brooks and streams.
Outside of work and chasing after little ones, I find a lot of joy in tending my garden – it’s my most favorite way to unwind. I also enjoy cooking and baking, especially when it means sharing something with friends and neighbors.
