What we’ll cover

Baseline snapshot

Where you are today—current savings, monthly capacity, time horizon, and any existing accounts.

Goals & priorities, clarified

Target budgets, timelines, scholarship assumptions, and “must-haves” like keeping funds flexible.

Gap & risk highlights

Funding shortfalls, sequence risk, inflation, and tax drag—plus where the biggest levers are.

High-level path forward

A simple route to close the gap—savings targets, account mix, and 2–3 actions to start now.

How it works

Step 1

Intro call (30 minutes)

Share goals and constraints. We confirm fit and outline any data we’ll need.

Step 2

Discovery & draft plan

We size the gap, compare savings vehicles, and sketch a tax-aware contribution plan across accounts.

Step 3

Recommendations & next steps

You’ll get a clear set of options and a short action checklist. If you proceed, we help you implement.

If college isn’t the path they choose

Plans change. Alongside traditional education accounts, we incorporate flexible, tax-advantaged strategies designed to preserve optionality—so value can support education or other life goals later, often with tax-favored access if structured and maintained properly.

Beyond tuition

Potential to fund a first home, launching a business, professional training, or extended travel.

Control & access

Parent ownership and structured access options help keep decisions aligned with family goals.

Tax-aware by design

When properly set up, strategies can offer tax-advantaged growth and access features.

Blended approach

We often pair education-specific accounts with flexible options to keep doors open.

Hands-on, end-to-end support

Logistics handled

We organize paperwork, signatures, and timelines without the back-and-forth.

Secure document exchange

Simple, safe ways to share only what’s needed, when it’s needed.

Clear communication

Plain-English updates and concise recaps after each milestone.

On-your-terms cadence

We move at your pace and keep you on track with gentle reminders.

Frequently asked questions

Not necessarily. Many families blend an education-specific account with a flexible, tax-advantaged plan to keep options open.

Yes—depending on the account type. Education-specific accounts are best for qualified expenses, while flexible, policy-based strategies can be designed to support non-education goals with potential tax advantages if structured and maintained properly.

We’ll size the gap and adjust the mix—balancing savings rate, time horizon, and account choices—so you make the most of the runway you have.
