One Plan, Not Five Separate Services
Most financial decisions don't stay in their lane. A Roth conversion changes your tax bill, which can change your Medicare premiums. The timing of a business sale shapes when you can retire. A gift to your children today affects what your estate looks like tomorrow.
When your CPA, attorney, and investment advisor each see only their piece, those connections get missed. Comprehensive financial planning puts every decision in context, so you can see how one choice ripples through the rest of your financial life before you make it.
That's how we work. Whether you come to us with one question or twenty, we look at the whole picture.

How We Help
Five areas of planning, coordinated by one team.
Tax Planning
Tax decisions happen all year, not just in April. We help you plan for changes in income, evaluate Roth conversions, and invest and give with taxes in mind, working alongside your CPA rather than replacing them.
Retirement Planning
Know when you can retire and how to pay yourself once you do. We coordinate Social Security, account withdrawals, healthcare costs, and taxes into an income plan built to last.
Estate & Legacy Planning
Make sure your wealth reaches the people and causes you care about. We align beneficiaries, lifetime gifts, and Minnesota and Oregon estate-tax considerations with the plan your attorney drafts.
Investment Management
A portfolio with a clear purpose. We match your investments to your income needs, goals, and tax situation, and keep the strategy current as your life changes.
Business Exit & Succession Planning
Plan for life after the business while you still have choices. We connect a future sale, family transition, or gradual step-back with your personal finances, taxes, and legacy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about business and wealth advisory services.
What does comprehensive financial planning include?
A comprehensive plan looks at your whole financial life together: investments, taxes, retirement income, estate and legacy goals, insurance, and, for business owners, your eventual exit. Instead of separate recommendations from separate advisors, you get one plan where each decision accounts for the others.
Do I need all five services?
It depends on your situation. Some clients need help across every area. Others come to us with one pressing question, like whether to do a Roth conversion or how to handle an inheritance. Either way, we start by understanding your full picture, then recommend the planning that fits what you actually need.
Can you work with my CPA and estate attorney?
Yes, and we prefer to. We don't prepare tax returns or draft legal documents. We coordinate with the professionals you already trust so everyone is working from the same plan. If you need a specialist, we can introduce you to people we work with.
Do you only work with clients in Minnesota and Oregon?
Our office is in Edina, and we serve clients across the Twin Cities and the Portland area. We also work with clients across the country through virtual meetings.
What does "fee-only" mean?
Fee-only means our only compensation comes from our clients. We don't earn commissions on products we recommend, so there's no incentive to steer you toward one choice over another. As fiduciaries, we're required to act in your best interest.
What happens on the exploratory call?
It's a free 30-minute conversation. We'll ask about where you are, what you're hoping to accomplish, and what's on your mind. You'll get a sense of how we think, and we'll both know whether it makes sense to keep talking. There's no obligation.
