Home The Desks

One office, four desks, one flat fee.

Every client sits at all four desks. There is no menu of add-ons, no premium tier, and nothing sold across the table — the fee below is the entire business model.

01

The Planning desk

The map everything else follows. Cash flow, compensation and equity events, insurance gaps, the order of operations for every dollar. Rebuilt every January; stress-tested against 2008-grade years, not brochure years. You leave with a one-page plan you can actually explain to your family.

Inside the Planning desk →

Cadence — annual rebuild + event-driven
Deliverable — the one-page plan
First artifact — the full audit
02

The Investments desk

Evidence over forecasts. Globally diversified, low-cost, rebalanced by rule every quarter whether it feels comfortable or not. We have issued zero market predictions since 2011 and intend to keep the streak. The strategy fits on a page; the discipline is the product.

Instruments — index-class, low fee
Rebalancing — quarterly, by rule
Forecasts — 0 since 2011
03

The Tax & Structure desk

The unglamorous return stream. Asset location, loss harvesting, gain timing, entity design, charitable machinery. Documented every February with a one-line verdict: what this desk earned you against what the office charged you. Most years it wins.

Avg. tax alpha 2025 — 0.71%
Office fee — 0.60%
Verdict letter — every February
04

The Legacy desk

Wills that work, trusts that behave, and children who are ready — we host the family meeting nobody wants to schedule. Estate documents reviewed on a three-year clock, and the next generation gets a seat at this table years before they need it.

Estate review — 3-year clock
Family meetings — hosted here
Next-gen onboarding — from age 16
