I have been fortunate to have served families and individuals from Alaska and California to Texas and Massachusetts and all over Virginia, Maryland, and DC (13 states so far) while based in Fairfax, VA. Why? Because we have everything needed to be your guide in a changing landscape. Like most established firms, at Your Best Path, we offer comprehensive financial planning, retirement planning, investment management, and more to help our clients build the life they really want. However, there are a few aspects of our practice that differ from the great majority of planners. – My mission is to help people align their values and their investments so they can stop supporting the companies that are destroying the systems that make life on Earth possible. I am a leader in sustainable, responsible, and impact investing (SRI), having received the CSRIC designation – the first-ever certification for studying investing while considering environmental, social, and governance factors. If you want it to, your portfolio can reflect your specific values, not just a cookie-cutter index from fund managers who don’t even vote their shares. – We have extensive experience working with tech professionals, managers, and executives with equity compensation (RSUs, Options, ESOPPs, and deferred comp.) – We also have expertise developed over years of working with clients from many branches of the Federal Government, so I understand the intricacies of their various benefit programs. –I have no asset minimum and am happy to work with those with less, but am ready to serve those with substantial wealth.
