ABOUT

When my wife and I were expecting our first child a few years ago, many of our initial conversations revolved around personal finance. Can we make student loans payments and save for college? How should we fit child care into our budget? And at what point might we want to buy a new house?

Fortunately, I had a background in finance, so we had a head start on some of these questions. But even so, we still put a lot of effort into researching different acronyms, tax strategies, and companies. I figured that my life was about to get more hectic, and I was concerned that tasks likes these would cut into the limited time I had for date nights and playgrounds.

I often thought, if I had these feelings – even with an MBA in finance – how much more stressed must other people my age be? I realized that I had the ability to offer our generation an uncommon alternative: a financial planning company that’s actually designed for us. Welcome to the Illumint financial community.

GUIDANCE FOR WHO &
WHERE YOU ARE IN LIFE

TYPICAL CLIENTS
We've worked with couples on managing their student debt, including through refinancing. We've then evaluated what they might want to save for retirement and how much they can spend on a new house.

NEW COUPLES

We've helped parents with a new baby determine the best way to begin saving for college. We've identified good options for paying for home improvement projects and getting tax breaks on child care.

HOW WE'RE DIFFERENT
CFP® PRO
You shouldn't settle for anything less than the most rigorous credential in the industry.
FIDUCIARY
We’ve eliminated any incentive for us to work only with the wealthy. We welcome all income levels and investment portfolio sizes.
