Biography
Level Up Financial Planning's Why
Have you ever thought to yourself, this does not feel right, there haves to be a better way??? That is exactly the feeling I had when it came to financial planning and my previous employers. I understand businesses are created to make profits, but it should not dominate your why and be the reason why you want clients to work with you.
Luckily, I had another option. START Level Up Financial Planning and build it from the ground up to be focused on providing a ridiculous amount of value for my clients. I am personally vested in your success and am genuinely excited about all the cool and fun things you have planned for your life.
I have seen the dramatic difference that providing education, clarity, focus, and accountability has on my clients' current financial confidence and the impact it has on their wealth potential.
I look forward to helping you discover the financial balance between enjoying life now but also ensuring a future that you can be excited about.
