Belle Eve Financial provides flat-fee, fee-only financial planning, retirement planning, tax planning, and investment management for women, couples, and families who want clear guidance and a trusted partner to help coordinate their financial lives. As a CFP® professional and CPA, I bring financial planning expertise and a tax-aware perspective to every client relationship. I help clients make confident, coordinated decisions around retirement and retirement income planning, tax-efficient investing and withdrawals, Roth conversions, cash flow, Social Security, equity compensation, insurance, estate planning, and investment management. As a fee-only fiduciary financial advisor, my advice is designed to serve your best interests. I do not sell investment or insurance products, earn commissions, or charge a percentage of your assets. Instead, Belle Eve Financial provides transparent, ongoing comprehensive financial planning and investment management for a flat annual fee. While I work with individuals, couples, and families, I have a particular passion for financial planning for women, especially those navigating career changes, divorce, widowhood, inheritances, retirement, or the responsibility of managing family wealth. Financial confidence isn't about knowing every piece of industry jargon. It's about having someone who can simplify the complexity, ask the right questions, and help you make decisions that align your money with the life you want. My own path has included growing up with limited means, navigating a significant financial windfall, building and selling businesses, retiring early, and ultimately creating a meaningful second career in financial planning. Those experiences shaped the practical, judgment-free way I work with clients today. At Belle Eve Financial, you'll receive personalized, comprehensive financial advice and the education to understand the “why” behind it—so you can feel organized, confident, and in control of your financial future. Based in the Ann Arbor, Michigan area and serving clients virtually.
