Mindi Financial works with individuals, families, solo entrepreneurs and small business owners. I believe that financial planning is is a long-term iterative process and so we only offer one service - ongoing comprehensive financial planning with investment management - for a simple transparent fee. I work with clients who see their money as a tool to achieve greater independence and live life on their own terms, not as a high score meant to be maximized. My first concern is always learning what the money is for. Next, I work with my clients to build financial resilience, identify tax planning opportunities and invest their assets in risk-managed diversified portfolios. As a CFA charterholder and CFP® practitioner with two decades experience in investments, investment management is a core competency of mine. Mindi offers investment management that can be customized for your specific situation and preferences, including strategies for concentrated stock positions and large unrealized gains, while avoiding unexpected tax consequences. I am open to working with clients at all stages in their financial lives but I specialize in working with freelance and entrepreneurial clients. I help freelancers, entrepreneurs and small business owners with retirement plans, cash-flow planning and insurance reviews so they can focus more on their business than managing their finances.
