Private financial office hours

Private Financial Office Hours

A fiduciary second opinion for self-directed professionals making retirement, layoff, equity, and family-money decisions.

You have the spreadsheet. I help find the assumptions.

For professionals who manage their own money but want an experienced CFP® to pressure-test the decision before they make it.

Fridays only. Phone or video. No asset management. No sales pitch. Pay for the time you use.

Designed for one decision

Clearer judgment before you act.

No asset management requirement.
No commissions.
No product sales.
Just focused financial judgment.

For people who do not want to hand off their financial life.

You manage your own investments. You have read the articles. You may already have the model, the spreadsheet, or the plan.

But some decisions deserve a second set of eyes.

Where office hours help

A second set of eyes before a decision.

Bring one decision or a short list of questions. The work is narrow by design, so the conversation stays useful.

Retirement

Can I stop working earlier than planned?

Layoff

What should I do before signing a severance agreement?

Equity

Am I too concentrated in company stock?

Cash

How much liquidity do I really need?

Family

How much can I help without compromising my own retirement?

Bring the decision

Bring the decision you keep circling.

A strong office-hours conversation gives you language for tradeoffs, a sequence for decisions, and a calmer way to look at the next step.

Topics might include:

  • Retirement timing
  • Big Tech layoffs
  • Severance packages
  • RSUs and company stock
  • Cash runway
  • Mortgage payoff
  • Investment allocation
  • Social Security timing
  • Roth conversion questions
  • College support for children
  • Helping aging parents
  • Whether your current plan still works

Focused advice

Focused advice, not a full financial plan.

Private Financial Office Hours are designed for limited-scope financial advice based on the information available during the session.

This is not:

  • A comprehensive financial plan
  • Investment management
  • Tax preparation
  • Legal advice
  • Ongoing monitoring
  • A written financial plan
  • A replacement for your CPA, estate attorney, or benefits specialist
