Planning for Retirement? Some questions you may have :
- Am I on track to attain my goals and fund my retirement?
- What’s the best way to invest my retirement accounts?
- I’m receiving an inheritance – How should I protect it from inflation?
- What are smart tax saving strategies under the CA/NV, TCJA, and SECURE Act tax laws?
- How can I significantly reduce taxes on my IRA and 401k mandatory distributions before it’s too late?
Who we serve –
Although each person’s situation is unique, typically you are:
In your Peak Income Years concerned with growing taxes and retirement planning
You are a conscientious person entering the prime of your career, and taxes are starting to become an issue. What you have in common with our other clients is you’d like a financial planner who can help you reduce those taxes, not just offer portfolio advice. You’d like to map out a secure path to retirement in the next 10 to 20 years, as well as set up a tax-efficient plan that will serve you for the rest of your life. You may even be thinking about retiring early and wondering about when that might make sense.
Close to, or in early retirement and wanting tax efficiency
You’ve worked hard, accumulating your retirement nest egg. Now you want to make sure it’s secure and won’t be depleted by retirement living expenses and taxes. You have relatively large 401(k) and IRA accounts, but you’re not looking forward to the up-coming taxes on their required distributions. You’d like access to better investments — a safe, well diversified portfolio for retirement. You’d like to have in place documents and financial services to well establish residency in Nevada. In short, you’re interested in holistic planning for peace of mind and simplicity, with an emphasis on smart tax planning for retirement and access to better investments.
The Challenge – Shift in Advisor Skills
In the earning phase of our lives, typically advisors only focus on portfolio advice. However, within 10 to 20 years of retirement, a shift in advisor skills is needed to preserve purchasing power throughout retirement. This requires holistic wealth planning that combines: 1) diversified portfolio management, 2) careful long-term tax planning, and 3) ongoing calculations of safe withdrawal rates.
➔ An experienced, holistic approach helps you through this transition, make confident financial decisions, set up tax efficiency, secure your retirement, and leave a family legacy.

We are FEE-ONLY advisors — No hidden fees, no commissions, no 12b-1 advertising fees, no kickbacks, no hidden incentives.
All our services are contained in one transparent fee. That’s the definition of our firm being designated as Fee-Only (not the so-called Fee-Based structure of broker/dealers and advisors who incorporate many fine-print, non-transparent charges in their investment recommendations).

“I really enjoy helping others and seeing how our work makes a positive difference in their lives.
I graduated from the University of Colorado, Magna Cum Laude, with a major in Finance. I went on to earn my CFP® certification in 2010 and am passionate about continually learning as this field is so interesting, extensive, and constantly changing.
I have worked for other financial planning firms for 21 years, 9 of these years with a CPA. I started my own independent firm in 2018 here in North Lake Tahoe to have a lifestyle practice in the area I love. I bring this same passion to create a fulfilling lifestyle for our ‘family’ of clients and to be with them as an advisor and friend for many years to come.”
Family:
Lisa lives on the north shore of Lake Tahoe with her two daughters (three, if you count their dog).
Favorite Hike:
The woods by our house. This is definitely my happy place.
Favorite Family Sport:
Skiing at Diamond Peak and Pickleball at the outdoor Incline courts
Favorite Beach:
The dog beach in Carnelian Bay. You definitely need to love dogs to be there as they dominate this beach with their wet wagging tails.
