I am a fee-only flat-fee Certified Financial Planner® and a Certified Exit Planning Advisor®. I'm also working toward my Retirement Income Certified Planner® designation. My passion and specialty are income planning for retirement, whether at a "normal" retirement age or for an early retirement. Our services include comprehensive financial planning, which feeds into income planning and tax-smart distributions. We help our clients maximize the lifetime enjoyment of their money so they don't run out in retirement but also don't leave more than desired in their estate. While I don't focus only on business owners, my experience starting and selling businesses helps me better understand business owners' planning needs, challenges, and opportunities.
