The first move

Put every account and obligation on one clear page.

01

Divorce and post-divorce planning

A fair split needs a financial plan behind it.

Divorce changes ownership, income, tax decisions, and retirement security at the same time. We organise the facts so you can discuss settlement choices with a steadier view of the years ahead.

Asset division review

Compare homes, investments, pensions, restricted shares, and liabilities by after-tax value. A clean comparison changes the conversation.

Single-income reset

Build a practical monthly budget, cash reserve target, and savings order for your new household income.

Ownership and beneficiaries

Review account titling, beneficiary updates, powers of attorney, and retirement account division with the right legal professionals.

Specific decisions we map

  • QDRO and retirement account questions
  • Credit and savings rebuilding
  • Tax impact of proposed settlements
  • Post-divorce wealth management

A useful boundary

We give financial guidance. Your attorney handles legal advice.

Support after loss

Financial guidance for widows and widowers.

Grief makes complex paperwork harder to face. We give you a measured order of operations, with space to pause before making an investment or inheritance decision.

Income replacement

Review survivor benefits, insurance proceeds, pension choices, and the monthly income your household needs.

Accounts in order

Consolidate scattered accounts, check beneficiaries, and coordinate estate documents with your attorney and tax professional.

Long-term stability

Set an investment pace that matches your cash needs, risk capacity, and responsibilities at home.

02 / Inheritance planning

Pause before you move inherited money.

Inherited IRAs, property, and investments each carry different tax and timing questions. We help you make a written allocation plan before emotion or outside pressure sets the direction.

1. Identify

List assets, debts, tax dates, ownership, and immediate cash needs.

2. Prioritise

Separate money for taxes, reserves, debt decisions, and near-term goals.

3. Allocate

Choose a mix that fits your time horizon and wider financial plan.

4. Review

Update beneficiaries, estate coordination, and investment choices as facts change.

Discuss your allocation plan

03 / Workplace transitions

Severance and buyout decisions have a clock.

A package can affect taxes, health cover, retirement savings, and the length of your cash runway. We put each date and choice in sequence so you can act without guessing.

Package review

Compare lump sum and continuation terms, tax withholding, equity, and negotiation points with your advisers.

Income gap plan

Set a cash reserve target and map essential spending through the expected job search period.

Benefits and rollover

Review COBRA timing, health insurance choices, retirement rollovers, and the next contribution schedule.
