Houston, TX Office

Concert Financial Planning is built for BigLaw attorneys and their families: the associates, counsel, and newer partners whose careers are taking off while life gets more complicated. New baby, first home, a big bonus, student loans, a lateral move, the partnership question. It’s the moment your life goes “live,” and it’s the right time to get your finances organized. Why “Concert”? I’ve played music since I was nine, so the name fits my personality. More importantly, it describes how a good financial plan works. Your cash flow, workplace retirement plan, investments, student loans, emergency fund, insurance, estate plan (yes, you need one), and tax strategy all have to play together, in concert. When one is out of tune, the whole plan suffers. I understand how BigLaw works: lockstep and bonus-heavy compensation, 2,000+ billable hours, big-city costs, and the financial tradeoffs that come with the partnership track (or stepping off it). You don’t have time for another project. My job is to take the day-to-day work of managing your finances off your plate so you can focus on your career, your family, and the things you actually care about. How I work: • Flat-fee and fee-only. No commissions, no products to sell, and no percentage of your assets. • Fiduciary, always acting in your best interest. • Comprehensive planning plus optional ongoing investment management, coordinated together. • Fully virtual, serving BigLaw families nationwide. My background: I grew up in a family of financial professionals (my grandfather, dad, and brother). I earned a B.A. in Economics from the University of Texas at Austin and have spent 20+ years in financial services. Along the way, I earned both the CFP® and CFA® designations, which reflect deep training in financial planning and investment management. Before launching Concert, I served financial advisors at large bank brokerages and independent firms across the country. That experience showed me that high-earning young professionals are often underserved, getting little attention until they’re near retirement. I’d rather help you get it right early, avoiding the pitfalls and missed opportunities that quietly add up over a career. If you’re ready to get your financial life playing in harmony, I’d love to hear what prompted your search. Let’s talk about navigating “When Life Goes Live.”
