We are experienced and independent professionals who have the knowledge, inspiration and practical expertise that can make an important emotional and financial difference in your family’s financial security and success.We Plan for All the Seasons of Your Life
Ours is a unique approach to a traditional discipline. Addressing your finances according to the seasonal flow of your life — and your money — aligns with natural processes. The Seasons of Advice process has a natural rhythm, one that aligns with the way you experience life. By giving our work together a context that is constant and reliable, all financial matters receive proper consideration, so you can make more effective choices and keep your wealth-building momentum moving forward.
❄️ Winter: Goal Tracking
The main purpose of the Goal Tracking season is to analyze and discuss how we are progressing with each of your goals. This is where we recalculate where you stand, re-evaluate our assumptions and possibly re-set our strategies moving forward.
🌱 Spring: Asset Allocation
In Asset Allocation we take into consideration your risk tolerance, investment time frames etc. We then set the Investment model we will be using for the next 12 months.
🌞 Summer: Family, Security and Cash Flow Review
This season will focus on cash flow ensuring you are properly positioned for your short term cash needs. Insurance and estate planning strategies are reviewed. Additionally, we discuss intergenerational issues and employee benefits.
🍂 Fall: Tax Planning
This season is designed to make sure your taxes are organized as much as possible. We reach out to your accountant to work with us to help you make appropriate tax decisions, not only to save taxes in the current year but also for the long run.

To make Wealthtender free for readers, we earn a nominal monthly fee from financial advisors and firms in exchange for marketing services (including being featured on this profile page), subject to terms of use.

Testimonials may not be representative of other clients’ experiences and do not guarantee future performance or success.
We Want Your Voice to be Heard
Wealthtender exists to help people discover trusted and authentic financial professionals and educators who may be a good fit based on their unique needs and circumstances.
Your honest reviews help people decide which financial professionals and educators may be best suited to their individual needs.
The majority of people trust reviews as much as personal recommendations, so what you write in your review should reflect your own opinion and experience.
Tips for Writing a Helpful Review
Be descriptive. Instead of just saying what you like or dislike, share why. What have you enjoyed most or least about your experience with the provider? Have they helped you overcome a difficult financial challenge or strengthened your knowledge about particular money matters? The more details, the better!
Be honest. Your rating and review should reflect your actual experience.
Stay relevant. Ensure your review is helpful to others by avoiding off-topic discussions or personal opinions not relevant to your direct experience.
Make your review easy to read. Reviews should be readable to others. Use proper grammar, avoid excessive capitalization or punctuation, and be sure to check your spelling.
Be yourself. Don’t post as, or pretend to be, someone else, and do not say you’re associated with a person or organization with which you are not.
Be nice. Don’t write abusive, hateful, threatening, or harassing content. Avoid personal threats, hate speech, obscenities, or inflammatory language.
Respect the privacy of others. Don’t post information that can be used to identify another individual or compromise their privacy.

If you suspect possible violations of our guidelines or believe a review is inappropriate, please email support@wealthtender.com with a link to the provider’s profile, indicating the review in question and the reason you believe it violates our guidelines.
