We help you plan for the time of your life!
Welcome!
Financial planning doesn’t have to be complicated, boring or unattainable. And you don’t have to be a millionaire to need a financial plan. A financial plan can:
Help you define your life goals
Establish a blueprint to fulfill these goals
Provide advice and tools to set you on the right path towards success.
Working with a financial advisor who listens, considers your lifestyle and needs, and can analyze how your cash flow, savings and assets can work together is key. Not only can we develop the plan with you but we can also act as your accountability partner on this journey.
Just hosted the FOURTH WOMEN IN BUSINESS BUSTING BARRIERS at the historic Howland Cultural Center on March 25, 2025! What a night! The place was PACKED and the energy in the room was palpable. More about this year’s lineup here…

JOIN US FOR THE NEXT MONEY SPEAKEASY
According to a recent Bank of America study, over $30 trillion dollars is expected to be transferred to women over the next decade. Yet in general, women tend to be more conservative investors, or generally lacking in confidence when it comes to money and finances.
How to fix this? We believe the best way to get comfortable with money is to get comfortable TALKING ABOUT money! We all have different levels of education, experience and advice when dealing with our finances and investing—why not share the wisdom?
If you live in the Hudson Valley or NYC, we have created a safe and engaging space to meet other ambitious women, talk about money and investing, share business experiences, and hear how other people are navigating their lives in this market and economy. We meet monthly at a business location for a cocktail and lively discussion on anything LIFE-LOVE-BUSINESS within the context of MONEY.
In the Hudson Valley: Join me and Cadah Taylor, owner and curator at Poor George in Cold Spring, NY every second Tuesday evening of the month in her gorgeous space for bespoke cocktails and a lively roundtable with friends!
Cadah Taylor, the ladies of the HV, and me just talking money on a Tuesday evening!
