The world is waking up. And it needs more wealth in the hands of conscious people. I'm Julia — The Conscious CFP. I'm a fee-only, fiduciary CFP® who works with conscious creators and purpose-driven professionals who have built real wealth through soul-aligned work and are ready for a financial advisor who finally understands them. You've done the inner work. You think in terms of alignment, energy, and intention — not just returns and risk tolerance. You have questions about whether the old financial tools and the old financial playbook still make sense in the rapidly shifting world we're entering. And you've never found an advisor who could hold that complexity alongside a comprehensive wealth strategy. That's exactly what I do. I combine rigorous financial planning and investment management with a consciousness-forward philosophy. My clients hold diverse portfolios — real estate, alternative assets, traditional investments — and I build strategies that are resilient, values-aligned, and built for where the world is actually going, not just where it's been. I grew up off the grid in rural Massachusetts, built a career inside JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley, and have spent years doing my own deep inner work alongside serious financial study. I know both worlds from the inside — and I built my business because I got tired of watching high-earning, deeply intentional people settle for advisors who only spoke half their language.

Evergreen Wealth Management combines institutional-grade technology with the personalized attention of a boutique firm. We serve individuals age 50+ who want expert retirement guidance without the layers of complexity and fees that come with traditional firms. As a flat-fee, fiduciary advisor, we charge $725 per month—regardless of how much you have invested. That means no AUM-based fees, no commissions, and no incentive to sell you anything. Our only job is to help you make smart, confident financial decisions and guide you through retirement with clarity. We leverage tools like eMoney for retirement planning, Holistiplan for advanced tax analysis, Nitrogen for risk alignment, and Schwab’s iRebal® for efficient trading and portfolio management. You get the power of a large-firm platform—with direct access to a CFP® who knows your name, your values, and your goals. We help answer the questions that matter most: Are we financially ready to retire? What’s our optimal Social Security strategy? How do we minimize taxes and create steady income? How should we invest for both safety and growth? Every relationship starts with a personalized plan, built around your vision and your numbers—not generic assumptions. And we don’t stop there. As life evolves, we adapt your strategy, manage the details, and stay by your side through every decision that matters. Evergreen was founded by Nick Stevens, CFP®, after 12 years at a national investment firm. Tired of impersonal service and product-pushing incentives, he built Evergreen to give clients what they truly want: independent advice, fair pricing, and a relationship with someone who takes their retirement as seriously as they do. Nick lives in Boston with his wife Rachel, their young children, and a spirited dog named Sam. He’s a weekend DIYer, avid golfer, and firm believer that planning and consistency are the keys to success—in both life and investing. If you're looking for a modern advisor with both high-tech tools and high-touch service, Evergreen Wealth Management might be the partner you've been looking for.
