Collaborative financial advice that integrates all aspects of your life or business.
What is collaborative planning?
Our planning creates a central point of coordination for all things related to your financial life, bringing together investments, tax planning, estate planning, and ongoing decision support into a single, organized strategy.
This process creates a simple and clear system of communication between your financial advisor, tax professional, and estate plan.
Good news: we do the coordination.
-
We help coordinate day-to-day financial decisions, long-term planning, and conversations around taxes, estate planning, and family goals. The result is less stress, better clarity, and a trusted partner families can lean on as priorities change.
-
Corporate executives often face complex compensation structures, concentrated equity, and career decisions that can have long-term financial consequences. The goal is to help executives make informed, confident decisions, both during peak earning years and through career transitions, without unnecessary complexity or guesswork.
-
Business owners often juggle personal finances alongside complex business decisions, creating overlapping risks and opportunities. We help coordinate cash flow, tax planning, investment strategy, and exit or succession considerations so personal and business goals stay aligned. The focus is on providing clarity around big decisions to help owners build long-term financial security beyond the business.
-
Real estate investors often manage multiple properties, creating liquidity concerns and tax considerations across different stages of ownership. The focus is on simplifying complexity, improving after-tax outcomes, and helping investors make confident decisions as portfolios grow.
Hi, I’m Matt!
As a financial planner, I work with successful families, executives, and business owners to bring organization to your financial life, reduce decision fatigue, and leave you with more time to focus on what matters most. Many of the people I get introduced to feel stretched thin juggling demanding careers and family, unsure if they’re on the right track, and trying to piece together advice from multiple sources. They’re looking for a partner who can make things clearer, more manageable, and answer their most pressing questions.
My mission is simple: to help you understand the impact of each money move so you can stay aligned with the life you want to build. It’s not my job to tell you how to spend your money. Instead, I sit beside you, talking through options, weighing trade-offs, and helping you chart a path that supports your lifestyle today and your goals for tomorrow.
What sets me apart is my ability to simplify without losing substance. Life becomes more complex every year, but your financial plan doesn’t have to. I break things down in a way that’s conversational and actionable, helping you feel informed and supported. Many clients tell me that having a guide to help them think things through improves their planning and gives them back time, energy, and confidence they didn’t realize they were losing along the way. It’s because of this that I typically become your first call for life’s most exciting, important, and difficult moments.
I earned my degree in Hospitality Management from The Ohio State University, which shaped my belief that service, communication, and genuine connection are foundational to great planning. I’m also active in my community through the North Central Chamber of Commerce’s Business Resource Committee, the Board of the Suffield Little League, and volunteer work with Dog Star Rescue.
