Hi there! 👋 Allow me to introduce you to my firm, Wealth and Plan. First of all let's clear up the type of people that we do best work for: - High Earning Professionals and Families in Their 30's and 40's. __________ Now that we've got that out of the way, here's my best attempt at a "short" backstory: I decided to become a financial planner the day my parents were turned away by a financial advisor for not meeting the firm's underlying asset minimum. This led me to study Finance with a focus in personal financial planning at the University of Houston (Go Coogs!). While there, I ended up interning with the same company that turned my parents away... 🫠 After graduating college, I joined Merrill Lynch and hit my first crossroad: Do I go all in and become a financial advisor (at a young age of 22 😅), or do I learn the industry inside out before making the jump? __________ I chose the latter and invested the next 8 years split between Merrill Lynch, JPMorgan and a boutique financial planning firm, where I: - Became a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® - Served as the client service advisor for 300+ high and ultra-high net worth families - Served as the portfolio manager overlooking $200 million+ in client assets - Served as a financial planner, building 30+ comprehensive financial plans focused on retirement planning, investment planning, estate planning, and much more. __________ Then, in January 2026, I took a big leap of faith and left a steady paycheck, fully paid benefits, and a lucrative career that many dream of... In February 2026, Wealth and Plan was born with a simple goal in mind: - Make financial planning more approachable So, if you’re a young family or a professional in your 30’s or 40’s and think that finding a financial planner or advisor is a bit intimidating, we may be the right fit. We pride ourselves on three core values: - Education - Transparency - Real guidance WHILE you're building your wealth, not only after You can find a whole bunch more about us on our website: https://www.wealthandplan.com And, if you've made it this far and are unsure whether or not we’re the right firm for you, feel free to reach out!

I am Lance Elrod – co-owner of Next Step Financial Transitions. I believe that most financial planning concepts have become overcomplicated; my goal is to declassify these concepts into conversational terms and educate you enough so that you understand and feel comfortable with any decision you make. We founded our firm with a focus on helping families navigate financial transitions, no matter the stage of life. Most traditional advisors like to focus solely on your investments, we do things a little differently by taking a holistic approach to financial planning. This means the first thing we do is get to know you – your values, your goals, and your personality. It is not until we fully know you as an individual or family that we can begin to build out your financial plan to serve as a roadmap for your future, because you can’t take your next step until you know where you are going. I hold a BS in Personal Financial Planning from Texas Tech University and am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ practitioner. Like many new graduates, I began the early part of my career trying to discover my place and passion within my industry. During that time, I worked short stints with United Capital Private Wealth Counseling, which now comes under Goldman Sachs Personal Financial Management Umbrella, and May and Barnhard, P.C., which recently changed their name to Councilor, Buchanan & Mitchell, P.C… Although I enjoyed financial planning, I felt compelled to take a brief detour as a Mud Engineer because Oil & Gas is what you do when you move to Houston, right? In 2015 I rejoined the industry, where I dug into my career and recognized my desire to serve individuals and families in the under-served, early stage of life.
