Navigate your money with ease
The old paradigms of “investing is only about money” and “corporations only exist to maximize shareholder values” are actually shifting. Not fast, mind you, and it will take hard, sustained work to create long-term, meaningful change...but part of that change is the belief that it can be done. People like you, who engage with their wealth of resources as a source of future good can make it happen, and the first step is simply believing it can be done and acting accordingly.
The problem with starting with the details of “how” is very similar to the problems you’d encounter if you started to build a house without stopping to design it first. Even if you somehow manage to get the foundation poured properly and the walls and roof attached to each other, starting with design first is the only way you’ll end up with a home worth living in.
The math had been done and yet… both Ben and Leslie felt like they were missing some key information. Had they asked all the questions? Had they considered all their possibilities?

I specialize in working with people who are five years from retirement or less, or are already retired. I focus on people who do not own corporations or rental properties, and who do not have any tax reporting or exposure in the US.
I only take on a handful of new clients each year, but have cultivated deep relationships with colleagues who specialize in different types of clients or who take on more clients at a time than I do
I do not sell investments, insurance, or financial products of any kind, nor do I accept or pay referral or affiliate fees for any of the professionals or products I may recommend.
The Retirement Income Plan is for people within 3-5 years of retirement or who have already retired, and is focused on creating a tax-efficient decumulation plan for assets that minimizes the risk of portfolio failure and maximizes government benefits and lifetime satisfaction.

Answer a few questions about yourself and set up free demo access to the planning portal. From there, you will be added to a waiting list to book our Introductory Call. This is a free one-hour telephone conversation.
I use this call to ask you about where you're at now and what you want your future to look like. You use this call to ask me questions about who I am, what I do, and how I do it.
After our call, I’ll send you a customized proposal describing how we can work together and what the next steps are.
