Core Financial Resources

We help business owners and individual investors win the tax game and become financially independent.

All financial strategies are incomplete without a sound tax strategy. After all, it’s not about how much you make, but how much you keep.

Financial Strategy + Tax Strategy = Purposeful Wealth

Individuals & Family

Most people have too many advisors that never talk to each other. They have an attorney, accountant, financial planner, insurance agent, friends, a rich uncle, and the internet. There is surely no shortage of opinions. Filtering through fake news is exhausting.

Coordinate your tax strategy and investment strategy under one roof, with one advisor.

Stop playing the role of “messenger” trying to coordinate multiple advisors.

Clean out the “junk drawer” of financial strategies and accounts.

Simplify and optimize your entire financial situation.

Make more and keep more while doing less.

A partner with your best interests at heart.

Most accountants are reactive, acting only when you call. Some financial advisors are actually just salespeople pushing the latest product and trying to make the sale. In contrast, Core Financial is a true fiduciary, putting your interests first and giving you proactive, actionable, objective advice that will help you win.

Organization

Often clients are embarrassed with their lack of intentionality and clarity in their financial life. We help restore order as a partner and friend, not as your critic.

Accountability

Life is busy. There are always urgent things that crowd out the important things. We help you prioritize and persevere.

Objectivity

Money is an emotional topic. We help you keep a clear head.

Proactivity

It’s easy to react to life. We help you anticipate and hit life’s curve balls.

Education

We have the heart of a teacher.

Partnership

We work with you, not for you. We care about the outcome and how it impacts your life.

It only takes 10 minutes to see if we’re a good fit.

In just ten minutes you can see if it makes sense for us to work together. No pressure, no sales tactics. Tell us about what’s working and not working for you. If we can help, we’ll schedule another time to go deeper with you.
