About this episode
Looking to hire a financial planner with retirement & tax planning expertise?
My team and I have availability for 25 Discovery Meetings over the next 8 weeks.
If you're seeking professional retirement planning help, we would love to have a conversation!
👉 Learn more about our process and grab one of the 25 meeting slots.
We intentionally limit the number of new clients we take on each year.
This ensures we can provide each family with highly customized investment, retirement, and tax planning services.
Once these 25 meetings are scheduled, we will not have availability to meet with new clients until later this year.
Schedule your Discovery Meeting.

► Critical questions to ask yourself about the type of professional you want
► Guidance for conducting background checks
► Non-obvious questions to ask potential advisors
► The importance of a well-defined evaluation process (and why you shouldn't rush your decision)
