Take control of your finances
We work together to navigate all that life is throwing at you, from managing your company stock to setting up a structured charitable giving plan. Spend more time doing what you love and less time worrying about your finances with a strong and dynamic financial plan in place.
We focus on women and members of the LGBTQ+ community who are in the tech industry and receive equity compensation, typically in the early to mid-career stages. We especially love to work with people who are passionate about giving back to their communities and care about the future of our planet.
"Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning."

How we can work together
Ongoing Financial Planning
An ongoing working relationship means you aren’t overwhelmed by a “one-off” hundred-page financial plan, and allows us to calibrate the plan as your life inevitably changes. We work best with clients who are curious and want to be engaged in the planning process and who are seeking a long-term, collaborative relationship.
