First Step Wealth Planning is for people nearing or already in retirement who want a straightforward answer to one question. Is this going to work? My role is to help clients think clearly, adapt to change, prepare well for what is next, and spend their time and money on what truly brings them meaning and joy. We start by building a plan with five components. I encourage you to watch the attached two-minute video that goes over what the process looks like. I work with a small group of people so that 100% of my clients get 100% of my care and attention. That matters when something changes, and you need to have a conversation quickly. I work with you to talk through the changes, the trade-offs, and what it takes to give yourself permission to live the life you've saved so long for. I charge a flat annual fee, not a percentage of your assets or commissions on products. That means my advice isn't tied to what you buy, how much you invest with me, or whether your savings sit in cash, bonds, or stocks. What matters is that you have the guidance you need to make the tough decisions you're facing, with no incentive pulling me in any direction but yours. If that sounds like what you've been looking for, I welcome a conversation.
