Hi! I’m Sylvie. I spent years in dance studios and theaters, alongside a handful of corporate offices, before I became a financial planner. I know what it feels like when the next gig is a question mark.
 I work with the people behind the show in theater, film and TV. Crew, designers, technicians (and actors are welcome too), as well as other artists looking for long, sustainable creative careers. Many of my clients have been at it for decades. You might have a union pension, a couple of retirement accounts from old jobs, many different income streams, and chunky income that has never once looked the same two years in a row. And you're tired of every money decision feeling like a guess.
 That's where I come in. We build a money system that fits the way you actually get paid, so the slow months don't scare you and the big checks go towards supporting your version of financial freedom. 
 I also work with younger artists and self-employed creatives who want a plan in place before the big decisions show up.
 I'm NYC-raised, East Coast based, and I work virtually.

Most people spend forty years learning how to save. Then retirement asks them to do the opposite—spend what they saved—and nobody teaches them how. Provision Financial Planning exists for the Dangerous Decade: the five years before and after retirement, when sequence-of-returns risk peaks, decisions become irreversible, and most advisors disengage the moment the 401(k) rollover is done. We work with lifelong savers who did everything right, have no traditional pension, and now need a plan for turning savings into income without running out or overpaying the IRS. Our approach follows three steps: Plan. We map what your life will actually cost—your essential expenses, your discretionary spending, and everything in between. Prepare. We build an income floor that protects your essential expenses from market volatility, matching specific investments to when you'll actually need the cash. Separately, we coordinate multi-year tax strategy—Roth conversions, RMDs, Social Security timing—because we play chess while the IRS plays checkers. Protect. A plan that isn't defended against markets, taxes, health events, and time isn't a plan, it's a hope. We layer strategies so there's no single point of failure, and we stay engaged for the life of the plan, not just the rollover. Founder Robert Lindstrom, CFP®, EA, is one of a small number of advisors who holds both the CFP® and Enrolled Agent designations, putting him at the intersection of retirement planning and tax strategy. As a fee-only fiduciary, Robert is compensated only by his clients—never commissions—so his advice is never for sale. We specialize in coordinating retirement income planning, investment management, and multi-year tax strategy as one integrated system rather than compartmentalized services, because these areas are inextricably linked. We also have particular experience helping people retiring solo, the self-employed, and those navigating a major transition like widowhood or divorce. Based in Towson, Maryland, Provision works in person locally and virtually with retirees nationwide. If you're approaching the Dangerous Decade and want to move from anxious saver to confident spender, we'd welcome the conversation.
