Your Financial Plan, Coordinated Under One Roof

Most people do not need more financial products. They need the pieces they already have to work together. At Resilient Wealth Planning, investment management, retirement planning, estate and legacy strategy, and tax preparation live under one roof, so a decision in one area is measured against its effect on all the others.

This page is the starting point for every service we offer. Explore what each engagement includes, see how the parts connect, and follow any service into a deeper page built around that specific need. Whether you are a technology professional weighing equity compensation, a business owner planning an exit, or a family mapping the path to a work-optional future, you will find a clear next step here.

We work as fiduciaries. That means our recommendations are made in your best interest, delivered in person at either office or by video anywhere in the country.

Why Coordinated Advice Matters

Financial rules change every year, and the accounts, tax code, and benefit programs that shape your plan rarely move in step. When advice is split across separate providers, opportunities fall through the gaps between them. Coordinated planning is designed to close those gaps.

$24,500 2026 employee 401(k) contribution limit, up from $23,500 in 2025. Coordinating deferrals with your tax plan helps you use that room efficiently. Source: IRS Notice 2025-67

$7,500 2026 annual IRA contribution limit, up from $7,000 in 2025. Where those dollars go, Roth or traditional, depends on the rest of your picture. Source: IRS Notice 2025-67

$8,000 2026 age 50-plus 401(k) catch-up limit. New Roth catch-up rules for higher earners make tax-aware planning more important than before. Source: IRS Notice 2025-67

Numbers like these move every year. Having planning, investments, and tax preparation on one team means the changes are caught and applied to your plan, not left for you to track alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Getting Started

Which Service Should I Start With?

Most clients begin with a financial planning engagement, because it maps the whole picture first and shows where investment management, tax work, or estate planning will add the most value. If you already know you need one specific service, such as tax preparation or an equity compensation review, you can start there and expand later.

Do I Have To Live Near An Office To Work With You?

No. We meet clients in person at our Morgan Hill, California, and Brookfield, Wisconsin offices, and we work with families nationwide by video. Virtual meetings make it straightforward to share documents, review your plan, and stay connected wherever you are.

Who Do You Work Best With?

We do our best work for technology professionals weighing equity compensation, business owners planning cash flow and a future transition, and families mapping the path toward a work-optional future. Clients who value having one coordinated team for planning, investments, and tax tend to get the most from working with us.

How Services Fit Together

What Does Coordinated Advice Mean In Practice?

It means your investment decisions, retirement strategy, estate plan, and tax return are handled by one team that shares the same information. A change in one area is measured against its effect on the others, so a tax move does not quietly undercut a retirement goal, and a portfolio decision accounts for its tax impact before it is made.

Do You Prepare Taxes In House?

Yes. We offer in-house tax return preparation and ongoing tax planning for both individuals and business owners. Keeping tax work on the same team as your planning and investments means your decisions stay tax-aware throughout the year rather than only at filing time.

Can You Help With Restricted Stock Units And Employee Stock Plans?

Yes. For technology professionals, equity compensation planning is a core focus area. We help you weigh vesting schedules, tax treatment, and diversification together, so decisions about Restricted Stock Units and Employee Stock Purchase Plans fit the rest of your plan rather than being made in a vacuum.

Working With Us

How Are Your Services Priced?

Comprehensive financial planning begins with a one-year engagement starting at $4,750, which includes an onboarding fee and a monthly subscription. Investment management is billed on a percentage of assets under management, ranging from 0.75% to 1.50%. Tax return preparation starts at $450. Your exact fee depends on the complexity of your situation and the services you choose.

What Does It Mean That You Are Fiduciaries?

As fiduciaries in our advisory relationship, we are obligated to make recommendations in your best interest. Our advice is designed around your goals rather than product sales. You can verify our registration and background anytime on FINRA BrokerCheck, linked in the trust bar at the top of this page.

What Happens On The First Call?

The first conversation is a no-cost introductory call. We get to know each other, talk through what you are trying to accomplish, and discuss whether and how we can work together. There is no obligation to move forward, and no pressure to decide on the call.
