Getting started

How it works

Three meetings to go from curious to fully underway.

1

Discovery meeting

We get to know each other — your goals, your situation, and what's keeping you up at night financially.

  • No commitment required
  • ~15 minutes
  • Virtual, phone, or in person
2

Proposal meeting

We present your personalized plan, walk through your financial snapshot, and explain exactly what it costs to work together.

  • Your financial snapshot
  • Options presented, no obligation
  • Q&A, no pressure
3

Implementation & service calendar

We put the plan into motion and welcome you into the service calendar — your year is mapped out from day one.

  • Action items assigned
  • Accounts & tools set up
  • Review meetings scheduled
