Additional Information

I started Motif Planning to help high-earning music executives make sense of their finances and build wealth with confidence. Before becoming a financial planner, I was a professional musician, so I understand the unique challenges of this industry—fluctuating income, complex compensation structures, and the pressure to balance career success with personal financial security. My approach is direct and strategic. I focus on executive compensation, tax planning, cash flow, and long-term wealth management, helping clients create a financial plan that works for their career and life. As a fee-only advisor, I don’t sell products or take commissions—just straightforward advice. If we’re not the right fit, I’m happy to connect you with someone who is.
