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.
