What We Evaluate
- Life Insurance: We compare term vs. whole life options (favoring low-cost term for most needs).
- Disability Insurance: Protect your paycheck with the right long-term disability coverage.
- Health Insurance: We review options for self-employed clients or check if you’re maximizing employer benefits.
- Long-Term Care: We’ll help you decide if long-term care insurance fits, based on your age, assets, and retirement goals.
- Property & Casualty: While we don’t sell these, we’ll remind you to review your home, auto, and liability (umbrella) policies and can connect you with a trusted local agent.
Insurance “Audit” in Your Plan
Our
Strategic Plan includes a full “Insurance Audit”—reviewing every policy you have to make sure your coverage is appropriate and premiums are fair.
Protect What Matters Most
Why Insurance is Essential
Insurance isn’t just paperwork—it’s about protecting your family, income, and assets from life’s unexpected curveballs. With the right coverage, you can focus on your goals knowing that you’re prepared for whatever comes your way.
Common Coverage Gaps
Many people are underinsured or have policies that don’t fit their needs—maybe just minimal life insurance through work, or missing umbrella liability coverage. A careful review often uncovers these risks before they become real problems.
Our Insurance Philosophy
Right-Sizing Coverage
We’re passionate about making sure you’re covered for real risks, but not overpaying for overpriced or unnecessary policies. For most, that means avoiding annuities, whole life, or universal life policies—unless there’s a truly unique need—because they’re often expensive and confusing.
Integrating Insurance with Your Plan
Insurance advice is never in a vacuum. We’ll help you coordinate coverage with your debt strategy, retirement planning, and overall financial goals—so your plan works together seamlessly.
Peace of Mind Focus
Proper insurance isn’t just about policies; it’s about knowing your family and finances are safeguarded. With peace of mind, you’re free to pursue your bigger dreams.

FAQs About Our Insurance Guidance
Do you sell insurance or get commissions if I buy a policy?
No—never. We’re fee-only financial planners, so you get unbiased advice and support without a sales pitch.
What types of insurance do I need?
We tailor recommendations to your needs, but usually check for term life (if someone depends on your income), health, disability, homeowners/renters, auto, and sometimes umbrella or long-term care insurance.
I was pitched an annuity/whole life policy—what’s your take?
We approach these products with caution. Usually, we recommend more cost-effective solutions like investing in retirement accounts and term life insurance, but if a product truly fits, we’ll let you know—with no stake in the outcome.
Can you help me figure out how much life insurance I need?
Yes. We use formulas and needs analysis to calculate a coverage amount and suggest the right term length for your life stage.
Will you refer me to someone to buy the policies?
Absolutely. If you need a new policy, we can refer you to a reputable independent agent or suggest online options, making sure you get the best value and service.
