LISTEN TO THE PODCAST

Say ADIÓS to Money Worries and H.O.L.A. to Wealth™!

Hola. It’s a warm greeting in Spanish and the process of how we will work together. Conversations about money can be difficult, especially with a stranger.

Welcome to a safe space where you can talk about your goals and challenges free of judgment.

Get empowered to make good financial decisions based on your values and build a better financial future.

It's okay if you've made mistakes, I've made plenty myself.

We have put tremendous thought and effort into eliminating the typical barriers to financial planning services to provide world-class financial & tax planning and investment management services.

 

One of the unique things about our firm is that we meet you where you are. Whether you’re a high earner accumulating wealth or are a retiree enjoying your nest egg, we can help you develop a plan so that you are confident about your future.

 

In addition, we are able to work with our clients 100% virtually! There is no need to travel to an office, find a baby-sitter, leave work early, or deal with traffic. We can meet via phone or video chat.

That's how we will identify whether what you need and my expertise match up. You'll get the information you need to make a confident decision at the right time. 

We'll begin with a complimentary 30-minute conversation where we explore your current situation and vision for your future.

Based on our thoughts and comfort together, we'll either agree to work together to help you build a better financial future or schedule another conversation to continue to explore our fit.

HAVE A CONVERSATION

ONBOARD

To begin our official work together, we'll have a 60-90 minute discovery meeting (via video conferencing). This conversation is focused entirely on you and what your better financial future looks like. We will explore your future goals and your current situation.

In advance, you'll use a convenient link to the client portal to complete  your registration and upload any necessary documents.

LAY IT ALL OUT!

In our next conversation, you will receive your comprehensive financial plan. This is YOUR plan - unique to you - based on your financial history, your current status, and your financial goals for the future.

 

The recommendations for getting you to your goals are customized for you. Your plan will include a detailed action list that we will help you implement. Why? Because that is how you will reach your goals!

Life will happen. And our quarterly or semi-annual check-in meetings ensure that your financial plan continues to support you and your goals.

These virtual meetings take place scheduled or as major life events occur. Don't worry, you have access to phone and email support in between our scheduled meetings.

Speaking of ACTION - the easiest, best next thing you can do is BOOK A CALL with me for a no pressure exploratory meeting.

HOW DO WE

Simplicity

No fancy jargon, get financial planning in simple terms you understand and resonate with - in english or spanish.

Virtual Planning

I ditched my office. This means you’re not limited by location. You can meet with me from your home or any other convenient location via video chat.

Clarity

Get clarity around your money with clear, actionable steps. You’ll feel empowered, rather than overwhelmed and clouded.

No Pushy Sales

You don’t ever have to worry that recommendations are not in your best interest because I don’t sell any products. 

 

As a Fee-Only advisor, my compensation comes directly from my clients in an easy and transparent fee schedule.

Independent

You get customized planning because  I do not work for a bank or an insurance company, I work for you.

Ongoing Planning

Life happens, and it’s important to know that you’re prepared for the unexpected.

You receive ongoing support throughout the entire year and as life events occur.
