CFP®

Waterford, CT

In the Money Retirement Planning Limited Liability Company

I work with two types of clients: small business owners who need financial clarity, and families who want to make smarter decisions with their wealth. For business owners, I act as a Fractional CFO—helping you understand your numbers, improve cash flow, plan for taxes, and make better strategic decisions. Most owners don’t fail because of a lack of effort—they struggle because they’re making big decisions without a clear financial framework. That’s where I come in. For families, I serve as a long-term financial partner. Whether you're approaching retirement, building wealth, or navigating a major life transition, I help you align your investments, tax strategy, and long-term goals into one cohesive plan. At the end of the day, my job is to help you see clearly, act confidently, and build a life that actually works—not just one that looks good on paper.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through — whether you ultimately need an advisor or not.

Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly — so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
