• A track record of building comprehensive financial plans for high net worth individuals, including investment strategy, roth conversion strategies  tax planning and estate and wealth transfer considerations
• Comfort service as the technical authority for the most complex client situations, while still be able to translate that complexity into clear, actionable guidance
