FAQs

WHO IS YOUR EVERYDAY CLIENT?

My clients are regular people and are typically young professionals, individuals who are nearing retirement, business owners, entrepreneurs who aspire to retire and families. As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, my training afforded me the ability to assist people through almost any circumstance. Millennials and GenXers, you are cordially invited too.

WHO IS NOT A GOOD FIT?

Unless you're willing to make a commitment to improving the state of your finances, this opportunity is not for you. The people who I am best able to assist either take their financial future very seriously or understand what retirement looks like, but are unclear about how to make it a reality. My purpose is to assist clients in achieving their financial objectives.

AM I REQUIRED TO SEE YOU IN PERSON?

Not at all. To provide you with a greater degree of convenience, we have adopted technology to connect with you remotely. We hope this option will open the door for you to make your life easier by being able to speak with us more efficiently and effectively, even when your schedule is increasingly hectic. We are delighted to have the opportunity to meet you in person, though we also understand that your time is valuable. By hosting our meetings virtually, we are able to stay connected with each other while also having the flexibility that comes along with it.

DO YOU ADVISE CLIENTS OUTSIDE THE NASHVILLE TN AREA?

Yes. Being registered with the SEC allows me to work with anyone within the US. Clients receive the same personalized services whether they reside in Brentwood TN or Brentwood CA.

HIGHLIGHT YOUR PROCESS TO HELP CLIENTS?

By crafting financial strategies that integrate your investments, insurance policies, and estate plans in the most efficient way possible, I create tailored plans specifically built for each of my clients. This sophisticated system was created to assist clients in achieving their financial objectives and safeguarding their benefits for the future.
My approach is to provide my clients with an in-depth education of their plan, the strategies involved, and what success looks like. This way they are well-informed throughout our journey together.

DO YOU MANAGE INVESTMENTS IN-HOUSE?

Yes, our firm is composed of seasoned CFP® and CFA® professionals, who are dedicated to providing exceptional asset management services for our valued clients. In my opinion, keeping asset management within the firm fosters a greater sense of continuity and provides more tailored solutions to our customers. You can find more information on my Models page.

DO YOU HAVE AN ACCOUNT MINIMUMS?

No - I am not in favor of requiring an account minimum. It is my mission to empower individuals of all backgrounds to begin investing and establishing their retirement plans, regardless of the size of their current wealth. My mission is to assist as many individuals as possible, and having a minimum account requirement impedes that vision.

WHAT IS A CFP® PROFESSIONAL?

A Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) holds the distinction of being a recognized expert in financial planning, taxation, insurance policies, estate planning and retirement management. The Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. proudly owns and grants the CFP designation to those individuals who not only pass their initial exams but also commit themselves to consistent yearly education programs that help them maintain their professional knowledge and certification. Learn more about the CFP® designation here.

WHAT DOES "FEE-ONLY" REALLY MEAN?

A fee-only financial advisor is paid directly by clients for their services, be it a flat fee, hourly rate, or a percentage of assets under management. A fee-only financial advisor can never be paid a commission for selling wealth management products.
In my opinion, being a fee-only financial advisor is the best way to align my client's interests with my own - thus reducing potential conflicts of interest or issues with fiduciary responsibility.

WHAT IS A FIDUCIARY AND THE FIDUCIARY STANDARD?

A fiduciary is a person or organization that acts on behalf of another person or persons to manage assets. Essentially, a fiduciary owes to that other entity the duties of good faith and trust. The highest legal duty of one party to another, being a fiduciary, requires being bound ethically to act in the other's best interests.
The fiduciary standard of care requires that a financial advisor act solely in the client’s best interest when offering personalized financial advice.

ARE YOU A FIDUCIARY?

Yes. In addition to my Fiduciary oaths as a Registered Investment Advisor representative and a CFP®, I also pledge to always follow these five principals:

Your best interests will always be my top priority.

I pledge to maintain impartiality and avoid any conflicts of interest.

Exercise my utmost care, expertise, and sagacity as a professional to make prudent decisions.

I vow to be honest with you and transparently disclose any facts that are essential for your knowledge.

To ensure complete transparency and fairness, I will fully disclose and properly address any potential conflicts of interest that may arise.
