You want to feel confident in your financial future, but finding the time to make the right decisions is a challenge. That's what I am here for. Mike Morton, CFP®, ChFC®, RLP®, is a fee-only financial advisor for high-earning professionals and busy parents with increasingly complex finances in the greater Boston area and nationwide. Morton Financial Advice clients are typically dual-income households in their 40s and 50s working in technology, biotech, engineering, finance, healthcare, and professional services, balancing demanding careers and growing families. We offer three ways to work together: hourly consultations, a fixed-fee comprehensive financial plan, or an ongoing monthly fixed-fee relationship for full, year-round support and investment management. In every case, we are fee-only fiduciaries, which means that 100% of our income comes from clients, never commissions, and there's no minimum in assets or net worth. Together, you and your advisor will cover investments, retirement planning, tax planning, employee and executive benefits (including equity compensation: RSUs, ISOs, and ESPPs), education planning (529s), wills, trusts, and insurance, with socially responsible investing available for clients who want it. Being a Registered Life Planner® means I focus on you: your time, energy, dreams, and goals, not just your portfolio. By building small habits, setting the right path, and providing year-round support, we can make sense of your financial resources and put everything to work, smarter, for your future. I live in Harvard, MA, with my wife and three children. We enjoy hiking, camping, running, snowboarding, and obstacle racing. I've played Ultimate Frisbee for decades and coach the youth team in town, and previously ran a woodworking/furniture-making business. I am the author of The Juggling Act and the host of Five Minute Finance, a financial planning podcast launched in 2020.

My clients are young families and professionals in their 30s-40s who have hit a wall when it comes to managing their finances. They have busy personal schedules, growing careers, and recently introduced financial complexity that’s too much to manage. Questions my clients have include: - How do I prioritize multiple financial goals? - I have some cash saved, but what should I do with it? - I don't understand my taxes, is there more I should be doing? - Should I be saving for my children’s education? - Will I be able to retire on time, and live comfortably once I get there? - I’m self-employed, how should I be planning for my future? - How should I handle my equity compensation? - Do I have enough insurance to protect my loved ones? - How does having a baby impact my financial situation?
