Money is complicated and sometimes messy.

When retirement is on the horizon, it brings up questions you've never had to answer.

  • When am I safe to retire? 

  • How do I ensure my spouse is cared for when I'm gone?

  • How do I structure assets for my family?

  • What are the tax implications of how I choose to invest?

  • How do I ensure I don't invest in unethical companies?

Your financial resources and opportunities should bring freedom, not burden. We can help you make sense of it all.

Teachers at heart, we've been teaching clients how to manage their finances wisely since 1993. In that time, we've had thousands of clients use what God has given them to live a life of freedom and generosity.
