As both a CPA and CFP professional, I believe financial decisions shouldn't happen in separate conversations. As financial lives become more complex, the impact of taxes, investments, retirement planning, and major life decisions becomes increasingly interconnected. A coordinated strategy can make a meaningful difference over time. Based in Newport Beach, California, I work with individuals and families navigating increasingly complex financial lives. Whether you're building wealth, managing equity compensation, approaching retirement, running a business, planning for a major purchase, or experiencing another significant life transition, I help bring all the moving pieces together into one thoughtful financial strategy. My approach combines tax planning, financial planning, and investment management because each decision affects the others. Looking at only one piece of your financial life can lead to missed opportunities or unintended tax consequences. By coordinating these areas, my goal is to help clients make more informed decisions, reduce unnecessary taxes where possible, and build long-term financial confidence. As a fee-only advisor, I don't receive commissions or sell financial products. My recommendations are objective and designed around your goals, your values, and what makes the most sense for your unique situation. Before founding KCL Wealth Management, I advised high-net-worth individuals and families on tax planning at PwC. Today, I bring that experience into a more personal, collaborative relationship where clients understand not only what we're recommending, but why. My goal is for every client to leave meetings feeling more organized, more confident, and empowered to make smart financial decisions for years to come.
