Hourly Financial Planning

What is the Process?

We work together to do a comprehensive review and answer your questions at an hourly rate of $300 an hour.

Most comprehensive engagements range between $2,500 and $3,500, which includes a financial independence plan, tax analysis, investment analysis and recommendations, insurance review, and more. 

I don’t offer engagements that address one or two questions that may only take a few hours. 

Below are a few examples of topics I could discuss and provide guidance about:

  • Review overall investment allocation
  • Review your investments and whether each investment is in the most tax-efficient accounts
  • Do multiple Roth conversion scenario analysis to help optimize taxes over your lifetime
  • Charitable giving strategies, such as Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs), giving stock, and Donor Advised Funds (DAFs)
  • Read your estate plan and go over it with you to identify areas that may need updating
  • Build a financial independence plan to determine the likelihood that you need to save more or adjust your spending in retirement
  • Provide long-term care insurance guidance
  • Discuss extra support services, such as eldercare consultants, home health aides, or therapists
  • Review home, auto, umbrella, and life insurance to identify any gaps in coverage
