Natalie Grace Collins

I'm the founder of ClearMind Capital, a fee-only firm based in Columbus, OH. I work mostly with business owners, self-employed professionals, and people who are close enough to retirement that the decisions they make in the next few years actually matter a lot. The planning I do tends to live at the intersection of retirement income, tax strategy, and the messier stuff that comes with owning a business or leaving one. A lot of my clients come in with good pieces in place but nobody has ever pulled them together or looked at how the tax picture connects to everything else. That's usually where the real work is. When we get that right, something shifts. People stop second-guessing whether they're making smart moves and start feeling like they actually have a plan they understand and trust. For most of my clients, that clarity is the thing they didn't know they were missing.
