About

Flow Financial Planning is an independent, fee-only advisory firm that provides comprehensive wealth management and one-time financial planning for individuals, families, small businesses and trusts. Its services cover cash‑flow and retirement planning, estate and business planning, college planning, insurance review, and implementation support for recommended actions.

The firm generally follows a passive investment approach using low‑cost index mutual funds and ETFs and may employ outside managers or a turnkey asset management platform for model-based portfolio execution; it also operates with discretionary trading authority for managed accounts. Flow supplements portfolio services with public education — occasional webinars and speaking engagements — and, when suitable, integrates specialty third‑party solutions such as an options‑based overlay lending strategy.

Noteworthy features include a fee‑only billing model described in the brochure as an annual flat fee billed in advance with formal reconciliation and refund procedures, plus the regular use of third‑party platforms (a TAMP and an options lending sub‑advisor) within a small, high‑touch practice. The firm’s scale — roughly $94 million in discretionary AUM across about 55 clients — combines personalized planning and client education with access to institutional tools not always seen at similarly sized independent firms.

Flow Financial Planning, L.L.C.

Hi, I’m Meg. I’m the founder and lead planner at Flow Financial Planning. We are dedicated to women in their early-to-mid career in the tech industry, specializing in the IPO journey: pre-IPO, going through the IPO, and managing the wealth—and attendant opportunities—that come out of it. Do you: • Want to achieve some level of financial independence? • Wish you felt more confident in your financial choices, because you understood how they fit into the larger strategy? • Make more money than you expected to? Are you anxious that you’re not doing the right thing with it? • Have no one in your life you can talk to about your money? • Have more money than you need right now, and you don’t want to waste this opportunity? • Receive company stock but are unsure how to use it? • Dream about leaving the tech industry, but wonder how you could walk away? Together we can work through it all. Get more clarity on what you want in life. Identify specific tasks you can do to organize, simplify, and strengthen your finances, so you can create that life for yourself. My credentials and education: • Certified Financial Planner® professional • Retirement Income Certified Professional® • Registered Life Planner® • Masters of Science in Financial Planning, Golden Gate University • Bachelor of Arts in Economics, Wellesley College Prior to becoming a financial planner, I worked as a technical writer for 10 years in the San Francisco Bay Area, mostly in the software-security sector. After San Francisco and two cross-country moves, my family settled in Bellingham, WA. (I can see Canada from my front porch!) So many of my interests—hiking, biking, cooking, yoga, never-ending kale—are part of the fabric of life here. If you’d like to get some financial clarity, please set up a short, free call. If nothing else, check out our blog. Twice a month I write about issues pertinent to women in tech. You don’t want to miss the Adventures of Block Woman, do you?
