Specialty:

Social Justice and Sustainability

Professional Focus and Services:

I help socially and environmentally conscious investors manage their money to make a positive impact on both their own lives and our whole world.

As someone deeply committed to social justice and sustainability, my entire professional practice is focused on helping clients develop clear, disciplined financial strategies that take into account our shared Triple Bottom Line of People, Planet and Profits.

Complimentary Financial Review

I offer a no-cost, no-obligation introductory meeting for us to learn more about one another. The primary goal is to share and understand expectations, and to review your financial goals and social values. We’ll have an honest discussion of what SRI is and is not, and then start to sketch a plan to move forward together.

Financial Planning and Investment Advice

We may work together on one or many topics, from the basics of investing to more holistic financial planning to more sophisticated wealth management and philanthropic planning.

Fees and Compensation

My fees are flexible and tailored to fit your needs, as different circumstances call for different solutions. No matter which approach is chosen, all of our fees are fully disclosed, a refreshing change from most of the financial services industry.

• Investment portfolio management for a percentage of account fee
• Project or retainer arrangements for a flat fee
• Consultations for an hourly fee
• Absolutely no commissions based on transactions or type of investment
